nearshoring and offshoring can be complex....
Through our extensive prior agency history, we've been a part of many failed offshoring and nearing efforts. Many things can go wrong despite your efforts and planning to mitigate risk.
Determining how to get started can be overwhelming. There are many reasons to begin this process of discovery.
Let's start by understanding common enterprise and industry problems and how they impact your company strategy.
Enterprise Problems
Weak "Owneded" Expertise
Do you own all of your technology? How well can you operate without your partners?
The lack of internal technical subject-matter expertise can lead to long-term ownership risk. When this happens, you no longer control your future.
External
Dependencies
Partners can help you grow fast at first, but what happens when they have problems scaling with you? They have other clients to support and you're not their only problem to solve.
Increasing dependency on external 3rd-party partners leads to difficulty in controlling operating costs. This may be a great way to scale up as a start-up but isn't sustanable long-term.
High Operational Cost
High operational costs often lead to smaller available budgets for growth. This could mean a slower pace of growth and missed market opportunities.
Decreased Delivery Capability
Decreased internal capability to deliver new products.
Scalability
Poor scalability of technical operations lead to a weak development foundation.
