How is Nearstaffing different from Nearshoring?
Although somewhat similar, nearstaffing is actually very different from nearshoring. With nearshore you do have access to talent located in a similar geographical location, share the same time zone and culture, but the team is managed by the vendor and you usually don’t have access to the members of the remote team as you usually communicate with a project manager. With nearstaffing, you have full control over your team, you handle the development process entirely and the extended team is fully dedicated to your projects.
