Offshore/Near shore Development & Support

In recent years, the offshore development model has been significantly discredited as clients perceive challenges to success caused by large time zone gaps, language barriers, difference in culture, and inconsistent skills that are difficult to validate at a distance. MCG Inc. has experienced these issues first-hand, so we understand that they are real, however we do not believe that this means that the model should be abandoned altogether. Rather, offshore resources should be assessed and engaged for their ability to deliver very specific, purpose-driven work in a defined core area of focus. Reflecting this, MCG Inc. offers two different models: near shore resources in Latin America, with a minimal time zone difference, for Business Intelligence projects that require frequent collaboration; offshore resources in Eastern Europe and India for custom development, support and modeling activities that can run more independently, as long as they are provided with a detailed technical specification. It must however be noted that MCG Inc never runs a project without local, senior resources who work onsite the client, and remote resources are used on a supplemental basis only.
