    In alignment with BizPro’s BestSourcing Strategy, BizPro offers onsite, near-shore or offshore services or any meaningful combination of the three, depending on the specific requirement. In a typical engagement scenario, a local BizPro consultant or project manager becomes the primary interface to the customer and assumes the responsibility of project and process-management in conjunction with our local (onsite/offsite), near-shore and offshore delivery teams.
