One of the big differences in the delivery and staffing model of offshored based providers against traditional onshore based providers is the use of landed staff. Aside of the whole issue around immigration and its impact on economy which has been widely discussed, these present an interesting contrast in operating model --- the landed resources are almost certainly working from client premises and are more connected to IT teams by sheer physical proximity. The local in-country staff may not always be in-premise all the time which impacts their connect.
Also, since the landed staff is in the country only for that work, and are more culturally tuned to the offshore based teams, they often have a not so busy social life which along with the work culture they are mostly tuned to, end up working more in terms of sheer hours.
There are several other interesting aspects that I have seen at closed range as I have worked in both models and will discuss those in some future posts.
