Though splitting work among multiple locations may create concerns about potential confusion or quality issues, organisations can address this perceived complexity by first considering work streams appropriate for nearshoring. For instance, resource-constrained work like testing and production support – work that only one person can perform at a time and that is serial in nature – is a great candidate. In these cases, work can be performed by one employee or a group and then passed to another group to continue progress.
Nearshoring can offer the following five key benefits:
1. Reduce costs and increase support.
Nearshore personnel represent an economical way to increase support availability when contact requirements are high, especially in situations that require teleconferencing or online collaboration tools. In fact, support from the same or nearby time zone is usually a requirement for unstable applications that must be fixed during normal working hours.

2. Reduce the risk.
The ability to share application knowledge across multiple sites lessens geo-political risks. As multiple areas are able to respond to emergency situations, technology and other hardware failure risks diminish. And as complete in-country failure scenarios become less severe, disaster recovery capabilities improve across many levels.

3. Use local talent.
Specific technology and business skills are sometimes only available nearshore. In fact, a nearshore presence can address certain availability and scalability issues associated with an offshore presence.

4. Building strong relationships.
The geographical proximity associated with nearshoring allows a company’s internal staff and external developers to meet in person as and when the project requires. This ensures strong relationships are developed and the aims and objectives of the project are clearly understood by all parties.

5. Adding offshore to the mix.
Sometimes 24x7x365 coverage is required and by having productive personnel spread around the globe, it is possible to finish work faster and increase the underlying return on investment. By eliminating “graveyard shifts” and using fresh resources during normal working hours, it is possible to improve productivity, quality and responsiveness . By managing work streams effectively a combination of onshore, nearshore and offshore activity can deliver significant efficiency gains.
