Nearshore is growing rapidly in importance as many are seeking to reduce the risks associated with the offshore model.
Mexico has become one of the most important centers for nearshoring, providing political stability, a defined framework (giving legal and IP Protection), and assuring investor-friendly policies (NAFTA). All these make Mexico an attractive and safe place to outsource software development and testing.
Partnering with Mexican nearshore providers brings many advantages. The same time zone between US and Mexican companies allows the real time collaboration, increasing the productivity and effectiveness of the work delivered. Nearshore application development is cheaper than onshore or remote domestic delivery. There is virtually no language barrier as many Mexicans speak English. Its geographical proximity to the US allows for the reduction of total expenditure in phone communications and air travel. See articles on Total Cost of Engagement.
The nearshore model is being recognized by Indian Companies trying to mitigate the challenges of Asian offshore development. One of the most representative cases is Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), who opened offices in Mexico City in 2003. In 2007 they announced the opening of centers in Guadalajara and later in Querétaro. Recently, they declared the expansion of operations in Querétaro, creating at least 150 new jobs between 2009 and 2012 as part of their strategy to make Mexico the center of their operations for North America, South America and part of Europe.
This clearly shows how valuable Mexico geographical location is and also that is a talent pool to find skillful workforce.
