Nearshoring is a term used to signify that a company is moving part of all its business operations from US to Mexico, this is different to offshoring because it implies to be closer to the place where the business is transfer, while offshoring used to imply a long distance and more costs.

Nearshoring from Mexico facilitates IT companies to achieve its goals without worrying about the distance and time zone, so they can save money and time with shorter flights and take the advantages of the cultural connections that Mexico has with USA, that helps to understand each other better. This also allows a better problem resolution, so if they have difficulties, they can meet each other face to face to solve it, because they are only a few hours taking a flight. Another advantage is that thanks to this alliance, clients can have specialized talent that could be very hard to find by themselves, and all that in a particularly short time.

Additionally, all the technology development allows the remote collaboration with the minimum language barriers. Mexicans have grown up listening to English songs, watching American tv programs and a lot of them have learned to speak and understand the language, making this a great alliance for them if they want to make new projects or expand the ones that already have.

Moreover, Mexico has shown to be great in IT development education, with more than 60,000 graduates every year from some of the best institutions as software computer experts, this is also supported by country government initiatives to invest in adding more computer and software engineer programs in the schools’ curricula contributing to have incredibly talented developers.
