Why Nearshoring is exactly what you need
Today many companies use only internal resources to manage their software development, most of them don't know yet the benefits of IT outsourcing or do not believe that it can help their company to become competitive.
Interestingly, that’s where the idea of nearshoring comes in. It’s a form of outsourcing but focused on finding a professional third party with close geographical ties to your core business.
Distance is an important factor in an IT project's success. This determines the cost and therefore the frequency of visits, which are crucial to help your outsourced team have a better understanding of your business and what you are looking to achieve.
A bigger distance also implies bigger cultural differences, which can affect communication and the project performance itself. Finally, having a team on a different continent represents having different time zones, another obstacle for effective project management.
Here are some benefits about why nearshoring is an idea that you might want to consider:
1- Enable you to cut costs while maintaining quality.
Nearshoring allows you to have a partner who will not only deliver the solution on time, but will also increase the profitability of the project, compared to doing the same work in-house. IT hiring and employment costs are constantly growing, nearshoring allows you to reduce expenses, save time and bring years of experience to the project immediately. The goal of this is to improve your service and add quality to what you do, reducing project costs. Therefore, today, eyes are on Mexico and LATAM
