Here are some things we have been hearing from current and potential clients: “Our costs are too high”, “Our backlog is overwhelming”, “We have gaps in our capabilities”, “We need help!”.
It's been interesting to hear how many contacts in our network are exploring alternatives to managing an onshore/in-house team for digital solutions, and specifically for their design and development needs. A nearshore model can get you a blend of both worlds:
World #1 - In-house/onshore team: Highly skilled but very expensive.
World #2 - Offshore team: Very inexpensive resources, but challenges with time zone, culture, communication, language, skills.
What is a nearshore model?
It’s the best of both worlds, somewhere between the 2!
At Ballast Lane Applications we have a full stack full service design and development team that is managed by US Based leadership and expats based in South America:
- Same time zone
- Similar culture (and sense of humor, very important!)
- Good communication skills and English language competence, direct with the client
- Equivalent (and often higher level) talent
- Cost Savings, with pricing somewhere between the 2 worlds described above.
We have a team that has decades of combined experience helping companies of all sizes, stages and sectors, and our size enables us to be nimble as we tailor a customized solution for each of our clients.
We can help:
- Provide a fresh, expert look under the hood at your tech stack, processes, resources
- Fill gaps where you might be missing some skills - DevOps, QA, Product Management, Design
- Introduce best practices with regard to testing, Project Management process
- Review and prioritize your roadmap/backlog, with an outsider’s perspective
- Build and launch new features or products that your team doesn't have the capacity for
