For companies who want to outsource application development services, nearshore represents a viable solution, especially for projects that require tight collaboration. The risk associated with outsourcing is lessened with closer proximity as damage control is just 4 hours away on daily flights from major US cities.
If close proximity and some other advantages that I have presented in the last articles, are not enough to think about Mexico as an alternative to outsource software development, then consider their specialization as another benefit. It would be good to mention some companies that provide complete solutions in a nearshore location; Softtek, Scio Consulting and Sigma Tao represent the wide range of Mexican software providers.
Softtek specializes in software development, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) solutions, SAP and ERP implemention services; with offices across different states of the Mexican Republic. Scio Consulting provides outsourced product development and IT services for ISVs and businesses with a focus on Software-as-a-Services, Web 2.0 and highly interactive user experiences. They operate a development center in Morelia, just 3 hours from Mexico City and a 4 hour direct flight from Chicago, Seattle, or San Francisco. Sigma Tao, with strengths in business applications written on COBOL, SAP implementations and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is located in Querétaro, just 2 hours from Mexico City.
These companies not only offer the advantages of the nearshoring application development, they also specialize on specific technologies and industries. Quality in delivered products and daily work is part of the Mexican culture so the overhead associated with management is less and therefore, productivity is higher.
So when you think about outsourcing application development, think beyond offshoring options. Just as Diane Burton -an associate professor of management at MIT's Sloan School of Management- said “It's important that the world knows that it's not just China and India… It is truly a more global phenomenon where there are skilled and talented people around the world who are ready, willing and able to do the kind of work that (represents) good jobs”.
Nearshoring software development to Mexico provides you the ability to collaborate easily and effectively, thus not only a source of inexpensive skilled labor, but also a more convenient and productive way of doing business.. The nearshore operations become more like just another office location rather than a separate unit.
Regardless, each company has different needs. Everyone has to look for the best option that suits their needs, satisfies its demands and helps them to achieve their goals. You need to focus on the goals: becoming more competitive while you satisfy to your costumers to succeed.
