Some of the most successful companies today are no stranger to the advantages of IT outsourcing. As a constantly evolving business strategy, modern IT outsourcing has become a favored approach for companies of all sizes. In a not so surprising trend, Canada, as one of the most educated countries in the world, has seen an increasing number of IT outsourcing engagements with U.S. companies searching for skilled talent and modern technologies.
When a business outsources to an IT services firm in a neighbouring country, this is known as IT Nearshoring. This business model has a lot of benefits to offer, starting from fewer cultural discrepancies to more cost-effective solutions, and quite often, the same data protection laws and similar financial and legal constraints. With more American companies coming under pressure from competitive, financial, and political factors, as well as growing apprehensions of offshoring quality, IT Nearshoring to Canada has become a more attractive strategy.
Why Offshore when you can Nearshore your IT?
Historically, offshoring has been considered for outsourcing. However, this business strategy presents some drawbacks. When you offshore your IT, the differences in time zones, cultures, laws, expectations, etc. has created some service risks and disruptions that do not meet the expected benefits. When using an IT services firm, regardless of geographical location, you must feel and have a comfortable experience that integrates with your corporate culture. This means easy face-to-face communication with your outsourcing vendor so that you have the reassurance that your collaboration is effective and productive. Consequently, these matters, amongst others, is why IT Nearshoring is a viable solution today for US companies.
Why Canadian IT Nearshoring is on the Rise
As one of the world’s wealthiest countries, Canada is home to a large, diverse, and growing tech workforce. This vibrant sector has grown to become one of the major national drivers of innovation and economic growth which has transformed Canada to become an ideal IT outsourcing partner for the United States. In recent years, Canada has established itself as a great IT outsourcer because of it’s competitive costs, high levels of knowledge, education and technologies, quality and excellence of professionals and cultural similarities with the United States. With these attributes and competitive advantages, American companies have the potential of saving significantly on IT expenditures, if they choose to collaborate with a Canadian IT Nearshoring team.
