Nearshoring

Nearshoring can play a vital role in your business growth strategy. A nearshore development partner can support your business in numerous ways, and even solve some critical issues you face at the moment.

There are two major advantages of working with a nearshore software development company:

✓ Access to top skills and latest technology

What’s stopping you from expanding your business? Is it a lack of necessary skills in-house or in your closest area? Maybe your own development team has already too much work going on? Or the innovations you need are not yet available locally or are too expensive? And finally – do you need to reduce costs in some areas of your business to focus on the core? In all these situations, nearshoring is the answer.

You don’t have to depend on your in-house or local resources to grow your business, or spend long hours recruiting people and building a suitable team. Get ahead with your goals right away by hiring a nearshore development firm that has the right skill set and is already experienced in projects similar to yours. Nearshoring provides you with access to cutting-edge technologies and an enormous talent pool of different specializations, so you can easily find a partner that will meet your requirements and efficiently support your business.

✓ Lower costs, higher profit

No matter if you’re just beginning with your startup or you’re already an experienced entrepreneur, having the technical stuff done by professionals is crucial for your project to succeed. Building a great in-house development team, training them and equipping with the right tools is a huge expense and takes a lot of time. Usually, the cost of all this would significantly outweigh turning to an external team that can develop everything for you.

It’s a common misconception that outsourcing is not budget-friendly - it’s quite the opposite! Nearshoring is both time and cost-efficient, as the remote team can kick off the project quickly, and all the employment efforts and expenses don’t apply to you. You can also easily scale the team, according to the current demand and available resources. What’s important, your software will be developed by expert-level specialists, and in the meantime, you will have more time to focus on your core business.

Sharing your vision and your business goals with an external partner may prove difficult if you haven’t tried this kind of partnership before. That's why it's crucial to choose a nearshore company you can fully trust. The main aspects you should consider before choosing the right nearshore team are the following:

▶ Their experience

Most companies showcase some examples of their previous work online to demonstrate their expertise and help you get to know what are their abilities. However, there are situations when they can’t present the most significant projects due to a confidentiality agreement with a client. The same thing applies to long-term projects, e.g. when the client didn’t agree to expose any details before reaching a certain stage of development.

That’s why you should thoroughly explore the company’s online portfolio, but at the same time bear in mind that what they share is often just a sample of their much larger experience. If you have any specific questions, get in touch with them - they’ll be happy to share more details with you, still keeping the confidentiality standards.

▶ Their reviews

Client reviews are simply the most reliable references you can get about the collaboration with a given company. You will surely find a few testimonials on the company’s website, but you can also check some external sites that specialize in collecting detailed reviews from the clients. Clutch and Goodfirms are among the best ones.

Such elaborate (and verified!) reviews will provide you with valuable insights and help you evaluate the company’s skills and reputation. What you should especially look for are the remarks on the quality of the services, the communication skills and workflow efficiency, as well as flexibility when it comes to changing requirements. The best nearshore partner should excel in all these aspects.

▶ Their communication

Transparent communication is essential for a successful nearshoring partnership. After getting in touch with a potential partner, you should observe their communication attentively. Do you get straightforward answers to your questions? How do they handle misunderstandings? Are they easy to talk to? How do they adapt to change?

The key to good communication is finding common ground and defining a style that will match both sides. Nearshore companies that offer individual approach are better at understanding - and eventually fulfilling - the client’s needs. They’re also open to any adjustments in the communication flow and flexible during the project development.
