Outsourcing can stand for “savings and efficiency”, but also for “costs & problems”, because outsourcing also involves many pitfalls. Therefore, you should choose a reliable partner in this field who knows what he has been doing for many years and not only in theory.
In order to minimize cultural tensions, time differences and “distance” to software development, the outsourcing trend has shifted towards nearshore outsourcing. Nearshore outsourcing refers to outsourcing in culturally and temporally (time zone) similar neighbouring countries.
With our development centers in Poland and Slovakia we support your software projects with dedicated teams. In order to simplify the communication, a German-speaking project manager is at your side and accompanies you throughout the entire development cycle. On request, we can also come to your location.
What does Nearshore Outsourcing mean?
The term outsourcing refers to the contracting out of a business process from a company to an external third party. Among other things, outsourcing in the area of software development can make sense in order to concentrate on the core business or to free up important internal resources.
Nearshore Outsourcing is the outsourcing to regional, nearby development centers. UWS Software services has been developing software since its foundation in Poland and Ukraine, where locations with excellent IT universities have been selected to provide good access to IT talent. Each software project is different, so UWS chooses a suitable and individual employment model with a mix of on-site and remote software developers.
In this way, companies can enrich their own development projects with software developers or simply transfer programming tasks to external processing.
When is Nearshore Outsourcing useful?
With an experienced outsourcing partner, the potential benefits of nearshore outsourcing can go far beyond the usual cost savings. The focus on creating sustainable added value for areas of software development can lead to flexible processes and relationships up to innovative business models such as the “Client Managed Team” approach. In this approach, the nearshoring team is led directly by the client. In this approach, UWS relies on the most experienced software developers as a direct point of contact for customers. Software development in companies can be successfully supported with nearshore outsourcing. In cooperation with an experienced outsourcing partner, the following potential benefits can be tapped:
- Cost savings,
- Compensation for staff shortages
- Suspension of order peaks,
- Faster development cycles / Time-to-Market,
- Concentration on the core business by burden sharing to outsourcing partner.
UWS supports companies in open source software development. The UWS nearshore outsourcing competence lies in the areas of Java Enterprise, Spring, Grails and software development of cloud applications of the vFabric stack.
Implementation of a project with nearshore developers
With an experienced partner it is relatively easy to set up external software development using nearshore software developers. The requirements are discussed, defined and implemented together with a corresponding team. After the start of the project you delegate your requirements to your personal contact person. From our experience, the following topics are suitable for outsourcing.
Particular suitable:
- Individual software development
- New web applications
- New cloud applications
- New modules and features for product developments
- Development of features or modules for existing applications
- New releases or modernization of legacy applications
UWS Software Service supports companies with software development in the mentioned areas. Right at the start of a project, we focus on quality assurance with high test coverage and continuous integration and delivery.
The use of our nearshoring model, in which our technical project managers works directly with you on-site and outsources work packages to our Outsourcing Center for programming, has proven particularly effective. Alternatively our “client managed team” approach also makes sense, in which the customer leads his or her external nearshoring team directly.
