Technology Sourcing.

Strategy and Model.

Audit and Restructure.

Location strategy.

Vendor selection.

The new normal of all-remote teams, even at large corporations, raises a natural question: “If all our team members are working remotely anyway, why should we hire them in the Bay Area, London, or Munich instead of engaging with the best talents in nearshore and offshore?” A proper technology sourcing strategy, when executed effectively, can deliver the same competence and capacity for 50% of the cost of your on-site technology team.

But the cost efficiency of your technology capacity is no longer the only reason to look elsewhere for tech talent. The shortage of talent equipped with critical expertise in AI, data, drones, and other advanced areas is driving companies to emerging labor markets and traditional destinations for technology outsourcing.

With remarkable experience helping clients – from start-ups and mid-market to Fortune 500 enterprises – find the best option for outsourcing/nearshoring and support the evolution of engagement with external providers, we can offer consulting and advisory services to make the most of your outsourcing deals.

Strategy and Model.

Define your strategy and roadmap for outsourcing, and select the optimal, sustainable model to meet your needs.

We believe in a “strategy first” approach. Before looking at an optimal model or selecting a vendor or location, you should be very clear about what you want to outsource or move to nearshore and why. We carefully analyze the risks and benefits of this decision, understand how it aligns with your current strategy, and whether this decision will be good for your company in a long run. Efforts to launch and maintain an engagement, pricing model, expected efficiency, changes to the operational model, and many other factors should be taken into account.

As we have practical experience helping companies build the right strategy and select the optimal model, and we understand how outsourcing strategies are executed in real life (including from a vendor perspective), we are happy to guide your organization through the selection process as your trusted advisor or representative.

Audit and Restructure.

On-demand and ongoing audits or interventions to ensure alignment, optimal pricing, manageability, and transparency.

Move or restructure your technology nearshoring/offshoring engagement.

With time, any offshore engagement requires closer attention. As original plans changed, expectations were not always met, miscommunication is growing, changes in ownership, and other factors are leading to a deficit of transparency and a growing misalignment between onsite and remote teams. Often, initial financial efficiency vanishes.

We do an independent audit of all aspects of your existing tech outsourcing engagements: delivery process, operational efficiency, compliance, capacity management, talent quality, pricing, retention and motivation, and the capability of local management. team. We can also perform regular check-ups and provide our conclusions and recommendations to keep your remote team and operations in a good shape.

We can also help your remote team and its leaders to be more efficient in working on projects with colleagues from other geographies.

If no satisfactory remediation can be found, we will help you with moving, restructuring, or sunsetting your technology outsourcing engagement.

Vendor selection.

Navigate target markets, formulate requirements, shortlist candidate providers, and identify the partner of choice.

Form the best nearshore/offshore management team.

Looking for an outsourcing provider might be a tricky exercise, especially if you never done that before or are not familiar with particular markets.

We can help you build a clear understanding of the pros and cons of different regions and provider types, analyze your needs, and either support your selection process or recommend companies to choose from.
Working closely with your business and technology leadership, procurement and legal teams, and recruitment and retention teams, we can guide you through the selection process and advise on every component of the outsourcing model to ensure the best deal for you.

While the importance of finding the right provider and selecting the right model can hardly be overestimated, it is all about people. We are happy to help you build job descriptions and motivation models, organize the interview process, and recommend the most relevant people to launch your operations and drive execution in the nearshore/offshore.
