Nearshore outsourcing offers several advantages over traditional methods. Some of them are: Traveling to the off-shore location frequently can be time-consuming and expensive whereas the offshore locations are even closer, therefore frequent visits and a face-to-face meeting are possible. Due to the location compatibility the legal and regulation issues including labour law and data protection law might be more similar thus simplifying the compliance and reducing the risks. Different technical standards and infrastructure can create compatibility issues offshore. This can be overcome by nearshore software development by offering better alignment and integration with your existing system. Nearshore locations can have a stable market and better working conditions, thus improving retention and consistency.
