The year 2020 has emerged as one of the most challenging years in recent history. COVID-19 has impacted every industry, causing businesses to revise budgets, amongst many other operational matters, in order to manage the effects of the pandemic.

IT outsourcing and the nearshoring sector has been greatly affected by COVID-19.

Many European companies are facing challenges “working from home”. Many companies which lack an agile approach, are facing with many challenges from the absence from automated processes before Covid 19.

When the recovery will begin, the expectations are very optimistic for this sector. IT outsourcing will be more popular and relevant than before.

Working with an experienced outsourcing /nearshoring provider helps companies overcome productivity challenges, streamline operations and add additional resources that may be lacking in-house.

Advances in technology have helped forward-looking companies to benefit significantly from outsourcing/nearshoring services for quite some time now. This is particularly relevant for small to medium-size enterprises.

Despite the pandemic, IT outsourcing and nearshoring have always succeeded in remote work. Nearshore Macedonia Team proved that is capable and has knowledge of continuing software development services without delaying in the completely remote scenario.

Despite the lockdown, Our team continued without barriers in communication with our clients in order to deliver the best solution possible. These days, more than ever is increasing the need for outsourcing and nearshoring companies.

At Nearshore Macedonia, we know that clear communication is essential for the best software solution. Nearshoring ultimately offers business owners great advantages.

The process allows them to build a team of skilled professionals without adding the expense of full-time employees and additional office space and equipment. With nearshoring, business owners can focus their time, attention and resources on their company’s core competencies and spend their time setting new goals and finding ways to achieve them.

It can be tricky knowing when to take the leap and trust a third party with some of your work. You want to be sure that you can rely on them to get the job done because ultimately, it’s your name and your brand that’s on the line.

Businesses often look for a reliable service provider even when they have their own in-house team on board. Using an external team to help for part of the projects might sound challenging.

However, it is possible to work well in a healthy, trustworthy environment where everyone focuses on a common goal.

Hiring a nearshore external team is a good decision when some developer from your own in-house team quits his/her job. Interviewing candidates and negotiating also take much time, and if an employee dodges, you’ll have to start over. Usually, it needs a few months to find a well-skilled developer and this can cause delays with the projects.

When you are a startup or small company you can’t afford an extensive in-house team and a result is an overwhelming number of tasks for the internal team. By near-shored software development team, enterprises can cut off overhead costs like office supplies or hardware. No need to create working conditions, compensate sick leaves or pay taxes for the employees. Cooperation with a nearshore company prevents the in-house team burning out and ensures the work will be done.

You can get also a near-shored skilled team for lower prices. Usually, the clients assign a task and manage near-shore team members in the same way as their own local team. The local and near-shored teams work as one. Choosing this approach means very close collaboration and communication between all members of local and nearshore teams with regular Skype meetings.

Offshoring, on the other hand, is the relocation by a company of a business process to a more distant location. Different time zones, distance, cultural differences, and language barriers, can all impact the work process significantly. So, when choosing between nearshoring and offshoring, one should be focused on the benefits, but also be aware that offshoring may pose more risks than nearshoring, and those should be carefully considered.

Nearshore Macedonia ensures a high level of integration at the earliest possible opportunity. For this reason, our team at Nearshore Macedonia cooperate in terms of Agile Methodology, which helps to eliminate risks as lack of mutual understanding, different treatment of tasks, and late recognition that something is not right.
