Nearshore Outsourcing is a derivate of the business term offshoring. In contrast to offshoring, where the relocation of a business process moves from one country to a distant one for lower-cost motivation, the relocation in nearshoring is to a nearby country. In the USA, nearshoring also applies to any country that shares at least one timezone.
Younger generations in Latin America are very fluent in English, mostly professionals in the Tech (Software) industry. Teams that interact with nearshore companies are generally positively surprised about the remote contractors' high communication skills.
Culture: Cultural alignment with the business is readily achieved because there are similarities between cultures due to their proximity.
Communication: English language skills and time collaboration are the bases of Nearshore and Tech services. Proximity also facilitates in-person interaction when required and available.
Travel distances: The geographical proximity of Mexico to the USA and Canada makes it possible to travel to the clients' location within the same day if needed. You can fly from Guadalajara to Dallas in 2 hours.
Same workdays and time zones: Mexico's labor culture is virtually the same as the USA and Canada, having the same workdays, and Mexico shares three out of the four U.S. timezones.
Intellectual property laws: Mexican laws protect I.P. Mexico is part of the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement). The Intellectual Property Rights chapter in this agreement establishes a legal framework of minimum standards in North America. It aims to support tech innovation, promoting a healthy balance of rights and obligations.
High technical talent: Mexico has the most extensive and highest-ranked university in Latin America: the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM), the first university founded in North America. Mexico has 1,250 institutions of higher education and a population of 120 million people.
Cost-effective: Similarly to offshoring, lower costs of living and lower wages in Mexico, as a developing country, make it possible for companies to accomplish technical goals at a lower price than their U.S. counterparts. On average, Nearshore rates may not be lower outsourcing cost options than offshore rates, but companies benefit from a higher ROI.
