Why It Makes Sense to Keep Outsourcing Close to Home

There are two basic outsourcing models when it comes to lowering costs – Offshore and Nearshore.

Many companies compare the two models and fail to realize that the nearshore model is vastly superior to the offshore model for team based development where the outsourced team works interactively with a core internal team. A common problem is that most companies just look at the rates being charged for each resource and forget to take into account the inherently lower productivity with offshore resources.

The nearshore model allows developers from both teams (internal and outsourced) to interact in real time (over IM, phone, or video conference), and travel to each other’s location with relatively minimum expenditure. That leads to a better understanding of the business and the problems being solved, and ultimately results in creating higher quality products which do not require rework.

Costa Rica’s IT industry is favored by several conditions that promote the attraction of investments and the companies development:

• Strategic location: 3 hours from Miami or Houston
• Central time zone
• Political and economic stability
• Well-educated, creative, innovative, English-speaking and highly productive human resource
