insourcing
Bringing work inside
Insourcing is bringing work or services in-house rather than contracting them to outside providers—the opposite of outsourcing.
A company might insource its customer service operations to maintain quality control, or insource manufacturing to reduce supply chain risks: After years of outsourcing, the company began insourcing its IT department.
