How nearshore software outsourcing can help your business
Fill temporary and specific positions
When you’re running a lot of projects in an enterprise-level company, you may require a very specific candidate to fill a project-based role. Nearshore software engineering firms can provide you the exact expert in engineering, technology innovation, or industry consultancy that you need at a specific moment. Entrusting hiring for a specific position to a nearshore programming company which covers every aspect of onboarding new employees, motivating them, and taking care of their next projects when they’re done with yours will guarantee you staffing flexibility. Nearshore software outsourcing is mutually beneficial, as you get flexible engineering capacity. A nearshore development company can constantly provide its employees with new projects they’re interested in, rotating specialists and finding new opportunities to develop their skills.
Cover the technology gap
Nearshore software development companies are always keeping the pace with fascinating technologies that are gaining momentum in the most technologically successful industries like automotive, finance, telecommunications, logistics, retail, education, and agriculture. Intellias has established a vertical-specific approach to fostering industry expertise within the company. For this, we built our Centers of Excellence that focus on specific technologies, programming languages, or industries to reinforce our clients’ teams throughout their projects. As a leading nearshore software development firm, Intellias attracts technology professionals in various domains to work on breakthrough projects for our clients, giving new employees the opportunity to develop themselves into experts and innovators on par with world-known brands. Such an approach motivates our engineers to go the extra mile on their projects, as they’re aware of the importance of the solutions they’re working on.
Reduce product launch time
Companies that are partnering with a nearshore software development firm can drastically improve their time to market, beginning with faster staffing and moving up to high-quality software development that minimizes time spent on bug fixes and ongoing changes. Nearshore software outsourcing will help you reduce your product’s launch time by accelerating all operations related to development, design, and quality assurance. In addition, Intellias can provide you with proven digital consultancy services at the earliest stages of your product development to assist in technology decisions, idea validation, and business analysis. Nearshore software engineering firms are a natural fit for establishing remote development centers that can operate with the same level of product centricity you have within your company and share the same business values to improve the overall team performance.
How to choose a nearshore software development company?
Look for highly skilled nearshore developers
While focusing on cost advantages of nearshore software development, don’t forget about the quality of the final product. Building a nearshore team of highly skilled experts with the specific expertise you need can result in greater productivity, which delivers a direct cost advantage thanks to minimization of bug fixes, a simplified architecture, cleaner code, and optimized processes across the project.
As the best IT employer in Ukraine and a company with a strong reputation in our local hiring markets, Intellias can find and hire niche experts with your required industry background, specific programming experience, and excellent soft skills. When nearshoring with Intellias, you can run the development process the same way you do with your in-house team: fast, hassle-free, and with high productivity to save development costs and time.
Pay attention to cultural fit with a nearshore team
We share the same work ethic, culture, and values as our clients, which makes it easier to build strong partnerships. A cultural match with EU businesses makes Ukraine an optimal choice to start building a nearshore development team. Ukrainian engineers are open to sharing new ideas for complex challenges and admit their mistakes if the project goes wrong.
Our internal operations are optimized to serve midsize and enterprise technology companies as a nearshore engineering services provider. Most of our European clients are located in time zones within two hours of our development centers in Ukraine, so it’s easy to align communication between a client’s in-house team, management, and a newly built nearshore software engineering extension.
Capitalize on security practices and IP protection
Protecting intellectual property (IP) is crucial to software development. When choosing a nearshore software company, you should not overlook its commitment to international security requirements regarding data protection. Intellias has 19 years of experience in nearshore operations. Our clients trust us to continuously deliver high-quality software whose intellectual property is strictly protected and that cannot be breached by fraudulent activities.
We ensure your intellectual property and personal data are protected according to international requirements. We follow internal IP protection policies and strict NDAs to avoid potential data leaks or disclosure of information. Moreover, your nearshore team can work on virtual machines attached to your office IP address to guarantee secure transmission of code and all-around alignment with your country’s regulations.
