The Benefits of NEARSHORINGFor US-based companies, nearshoring in Latin America provides solutions to many of the challenges that come from working with development teams across the globe. Costa Rica and Colombia are partic-ularly well-suited to nearshore delivery, thanks to strong higher education systems, ease of access, and cultural affinity.

OUR ENGAGEMENT MODELS ALLOW YOU MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY, TRANSPARENCY, AND CONTROL.

The NEARSHORING SOLUTIONWelcome to a different kind of outsourcing. “Nearshoring” means working with a team in a nearby country rather than the other side of the world. The most striking difference is collaboration; sharing the same workday and simple travel for in-person meetings are real advantages from day one. A top nearshore partner will also bring the English fluency and cultural affinity that yield a great working relationship with your US-based team. Find out how the nearshoring solution can help you extend your development capabilities, increase project velocity and accomplish more with your budget.

OFFSHORE AGILE is

than NEARSHORE AGILE.1

considerably MORE DIFFICULT AND RISKY

1 person = 1,000 employees

A global service provider might have twice as many agile specialists, but if they are part of a workforce of 100,000, there is less than a 1% chance of one being assigned to your project.1
