In the blink of an eye, the world has become remote. Digital transformation and technology came with overwhelming force and took the stage in business strategies. The goal? Simple: adaptation to the new reality.
Zygmunt Bauman (sociologist and philosopher) calls this transition we are living in times of interregnum: We are between what is no longer and what is not yet. The old model no longer serves us and the new one is not ready. But don't worry! We believe that many things will change for the better within this scenario of chaos and collapse. It takes discipline and resilience to endure these transitions as we fully adapt.
We know that building this new normal is a huge challenge. It may not be easy, but it is possible. We at Onectus are invested in thinking about how we can learn and make these transformations together. One of the solutions we see in this scenario is nearshore outsourcing, where collaboration is essential.
Nearshore strategy is nothing but hiring a remote team geographically close to your company, which provides several business benefits including cost reduction, logistics and cultural proximity. The primary motivation is to scale processes, take projects out of the drawer and increase profit. In times of pandemic and social isolation, maintaining productivity is essential and must be done safely, effectively and in a smart way. Nearshore strategy is one of the easiest ways to expand your team remotely, achieve scalability and remain competitive. Using nearshore can be a game changer for your business.
The way to make a nearshore strategy work is through communication. The exchange between the team and the manager is paramount in any project. Communication that is aligned, transparent and ensures everyone is visible is the critical element to success. The nearshore practice must also be aligned with the company's business objectives. Achieving alignment requires cultural proximity, language proficiency and a deep understanding of the market. Ideally, the company should choose its nearshore partner with all of these requirements in mind.
At Onectus, we provide nearshore talent with agile technical skills and a deep understanding of user-focus design practices. We're well-versed in a variety of collaboration models, including affordable high-impact quality teams.
Choosing a nearshore outsourcing strategy is simple, but having the right partner is critical. Technology and expertise are essential to project success. Once you've chosen the right partner, you need to dive deep and understand the changes your company will need to make to operate in this new model. Identify which technologies will improve your processes, strengthen or create a new culture in your business. We've brought along some features of our collaboration model to understand the differences in this approach.
