When you develop products in a repeatable, production fashion, you have to step back occasionally and take the long view so you can properly discuss the process with clients. We’ve been involved in that exercise recently and I thought it might be useful to share the what and why of our approach to software development for online products.

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.
