What Is Nearshoring?
IT nearshoring is the practice of obtaining IT industry-related services from another country or relocating software development to another country.
Compromise between offshoring and hiring a local team
As the name suggests, nearshoring means ‘near’ to your location. It refers to moving your operations or hiring a team in a location that’s different, but still in the same region.
IT nearshoring is increasingly popular among EU and American companies
This is due to the numerous benefits offered by the transfer of IT operations to countries characterized by lower costs but at the same time culturally and geographically close.
How Does Nearshoring Differ From Offshoring?
IT offshoring is a similar term to IT nearshoring. The most distinctive part between the two terms is the geographical and cultural distance between the country of the contracting business and the country of the service provider.
Geographical & cultural distance – offshoring vs nearshoring
In offshoring, the country of the contracting business and the country of the service provider are distant geographically and culturally, which often leads to many problems resulting from working in different time zones or cultural differences. In IT nearshoring they are close.
Why is geographical and cultural proximity important?
Geographical proximity eliminates the problem of different time zones in offshore IT development. Moreover, no major cultural differences are encountered and it is easier to arrange personal meetings when necessary. This promotes an efficient and cost-effective implementation of software development projects.
