Business owners and managers of companies are familiar with the term. Still, it can be challenging to differentiate nearshoring from outsourcing, onshoring, and offshoring; the concepts are quite similar but different at the same time. While nearshoring has significant benefits compared to other ways of doing business, it is vital to check if it’s a good fit for your company. It can be hard for you to implement a nearshoring way of working in a quick snap of a finger, as it’s still unknown to you. Let’s uncover the nearshore software development meaning!
What is nearshoring
In nearshore software development the IT needs of a company are fulfilled by another company or team that’s located close to it in geographical terms. Factor Blue is located in Southeastern Europe. If you choose nearshore for your company it means your team will be closer to yours in terms of language and culture, which saves money on transportation costs.
Why to nearshore
As there are dozens of reasons why to choose this kind of business model, let shortly mention only some main ones:
- Offers the chance to have control over the development process while saving almost 40% of costs compared with western destinations. Without compromising on the quality
- Nearshoring in Southeastern Europe saves you to save a lot of time an waiting for response because we’re operating in the same timezone
- Easily complete a small project without hiring new colleagues and opening a new department
- You don’t have to market your company
- Procedure for selection is already done
- Nearsourcing IT allows for much faster trial and error development than other options
Why Southeast Europe (SEE)
This region had been a region of development and growth over the past few decades. Serbia was ranked as number 12 most developed country in 2017 by The Economist Intelligence Unit. In 2021, its development level is almost the same as the average development level of EU15 member states or that of Russia.
Serbia
The nearshoring market has been growing by 25% per year in Serbia. The reason why nearshore outsourcing continues growing is that it brings back the IT decision making process to countries where software development used to be just a part of their economy. Belgrade has become an IT center with more than 2,000 IT companies.
