What is Nearshore Development?
Nearshore development is when a company outsources their software development work to developers in a nearby country, generally adjacent to their own. Wondering if nearshore outsourcing is the right option for you? We break down the different types of outsourcing that we offer and how nearshore differs from offshore, onshore, and onsite development models.
Nearshore Development
Nearshore development is a phrase that you might be hearing more lately since this type of outsourcing is becoming more popular. Nearshore means that while you are still outsourcing your development outside of your home country, the countries are located closer in proximity. If you are in the US, this likely means Central and South America. The benefits of nearshore development are that your developers are in the same time zone as you, so there is quicker turnaround time can offshore development.
Offshore Development
Offshore development is typically associated with developers working in India and China. Historically the cost for these teams has been lower than employing onshore and nearshore workers. Through changes in the US workplace, the increasing power of automation and the advent of AI, this is changing. Talk to us about how our US based team can deliver great value.
Onshore Development
Onshore development is work that is outsourced to developers within your country. This can be the best option if you need quick turnaround time or want to work with a local company. Costs in the US vary greatly by region with rates on the coasts typically being the most expensive. Still you can choose someone within your time zone, or even within your city if in-person meetings are important to you. We take great pride in our Midwest US based delivery team and the value we provide.
