Nearshoring

Acquiring the right IT specialists within the same country could be difficult for some companies, whether due to staff shortages or because of high rates exceeding the company’s budget allocated to a given project. Such challenges demand creative solutions – many employers consider IT nearshoring, i.e., outsourcing of IT engineers from countries with geographic proximity. And it is becoming an increasing trend.

Nearshoring: an expanding solution

The impact of remote work on the market has been significant, as home office has noticeably helped popularise the idea of multinational teams. As everyday attendance at the office is less frequently a requirement, companies are increasingly willing to turn for support to employees from other countries. Keeping internal IT structures, for example a dedicated department, often generates huge costs. IT outsourcing proves profitable for companies, as most IT specialists, regardless of their country of origin, can communicate in English, and the knowledge on specific tools and programmes is universal. Nearshoring happens in countries located on the same continent, with a common time zone and relatively minor cultural differences, to smooth the cooperation, ensuring the delivery of ultimate successful projects. Through nearshoring solutions, employers have access to the bigger pool of IT talents across borders, whose skills and experience can be of key importance for the company’s success.
