FAQs
What is nearshoring and how does it differ from offshoring?
Nearshoring means that companies outsource their software development to teams in nearby countries. Unlike offshoring, where projects are moved to far-away countries with large time and cultural differences, nearshoring offers better communication, similar work cultures and a compatible time zone. This allows companies in Switzerland and Germany to benefit from cost savings without compromising on quality and efficiency. Our location in Bratislava enables close collaboration with minimal hurdles - for flexible, scalable and successful IT projects.
What are the advantages of nearshoring compared to in-house development?
Nearshoring offers numerous advantages over in-house development, especially for companies in Switzerland and Germany:
- Cost efficiency – Significant savings in personnel and infrastructure costs without any loss of quality.
- Fast access to experts – Experienced developers are available immediately, without lengthy recruiting processes.
- Scalability – Teams can be flexibly adapted to project requirements, expanded or reduced as needed.
- Focus on the core business – Companies can concentrate on strategic tasks while the nearshore team takes over development.
- Technological expertise – Access to specialists with in-depth experience in modern technologies.
