insourced
Handled internally now
Insourced describes work or services brought in-house rather than contracted to external providers—the opposite of outsourced.
A company might insource its IT department after years of using outside vendors: We insourced customer support to improve quality control.
The practice often aims to reduce costs, maintain expertise, or protect sensitive information.
