SaaS: Get a Realistic Roadmap


I’ve seen a lot of different “roadmaps” for SaaS products lately. Some of them are good guides for specific questions. Some are simply misleading or poorly focused. But only a few of us are talking about the guiding thoughts behind a realistic roadmap that are critical to success.

Outsourcing: The Nearshore Customer Experience


In this article, “Nearshore” refers to outsourcing software development to providers that are located in foreign countries in the same or adjacent time zones or that are geographically close to a client’s home country. For U.S. companies, this term describes outsourcing to providers located in Canada, Mexico and Central and South America. For companies in Western Europe, nearshore providers are logically located in Eastern Europe, the Middle East or North Africa. At Scio, we work primarily with customers in the U.S. using a combination of U.S.-based and nearshore resources from our Delivery Center in Morelia, Mexico.
