What is nearshoring, and what is it not? Delta Source provides clarity.
What is nearshore outsourcing? How is it different from offshoring? Delta Source has been combining up-to-date know-how and passionate people from day one. With a Belgian and Bulgarian office, we unite IT forces across national borders. We gladly clarify the collaboration concept and explain the advantages of nearshoring for your customised software.
Offshoring gives way to nearshoring
Finding good IT professionals was already a challenge in the 2000s. A lot of European companies then placed their projects with overseas development teams. In theory, the to-do’s were ticked off and the price was reduced. In practice, working together with Asian and other developers was not so obvious, because of different time zones, languages and working cultures. Although the offshore teams were highly motivated, European quality requirements could not be met … Such experiences have led to prejudices about nearshoring among some companies, which we would like to dispel.
Nearshore, what’s in a name?
Today, European companies are still searching for IT experts, although we are no longer looking that far anymore. Delta Source has been applying nearshoring since its inception and would never have wanted it any other way. Our mix of Belgian and Bulgarian IT professionals differs substantially from traditional offshoring. After all, those doing nearshoring are (almost) in the same time zone, share similar language skills and have similar technological training. Quality is key!
The numerous advantages of nearshore
Complex software projects require qualified developers, and we are proud to say that Delta Source is made up of IT experts in both Belgium and Bulgaria. We don’t hire a random foreign party with a quick availability, we form a strong team of loyal colleagues with the same endless passion for software. This results in several benefits for clients looking for quality custom software, such as rapidly available IT professionals with up-to-date knowledge who provide team-based reinforcement at a market-based price.
Nearshoring, approved by Delta Source
How do we provide top-notch nearshoring? Delta Source keeps communication lines short and the quality bar high. We do this by giving all our clients a permanent and trusted Dutch-speaking point of contact, activating a dedicated English-speaking dev team, establishing a generous in-house training offer to all our junior, medior and senior colleagues and maintaining an open, positive communication style. An occasional trip abroad to soak up each other’s culture is the finishing touch to successfully delivering complex software projects together. Team work makes the dream work!
