The global impact of the novel coronavirus outbreak has given more urgency to the mission to make operations more mobile, leverage new virtual tools and tactics, and improve connectivity between separate locations.

For companies that have considered exploring a nearshoring model, there may not be a better time. The trend is becoming increasingly popular in Latin America. Companies are bringing their operations closer to their customers to increase productivity, reduce costs and improve quality.

Nearshoring is the process of outsourcing part or all of a company’s production to a country close to the company’s market. The term originated in reference to offshoring work from North America or Western Europe to other lower-wage countries, but over time has come to denote any category of outsourcing that brings work closer to the client.

The steady increase in the number of people in the United States working from home as a result of the pandemic has caused many companies to accept a significant proportion of their workforce, especially people involved in software development or similar responsibilities that can be performed from anywhere with internet connection.
