English term or phrase: offshore
The company's infrastructure and locations enable it to determine the best mix of onshore, nearshore and offshore locations for a client's support needs.

Se trata de una empresa que provee servicios de atención al cliente, CRM, et al. No entiendo a qué se refieren onshore, nearshore y offshore en ESTE contexto. Por respeto a los kudoz, abriré tres preguntas: una por cada palabra.

Gracias.

El Larousse dice \"off shore investments\" = inversiones en un paraíso fiscal.

El diccionario Business Spanish de Peter Collin Publishing dice:

off-shore
(on a tax haven island)
en un paraíso fiscal
off-shore bank = banco extraterritorial or situado en un paraíso fiscal
off-shore fund = fondos colocados en un paraíso fiscal

Y las referencias del Oso en tu pregunta \"onshore\", pues, ya te explican los tres términos :)

Explanation:
Another option would be to leave the terms in English, considering that there's not a compact way to say them in Spanish. However, it may leave readers in the dark! You could put the translation in brackets and then for the rest of the text use the English. Good luck!
