Why the Nearshore IT Software Services Industry is Outdated
The IT Software Services industry has witnessed a monumental shift in the last few decades. From the conventional offshore model, which banks on the availability of cheap labor in distant lands, the industry transitioned to the nearshore model, which champions geographical proximity and cultural affinity. But as with every evolutionary phase in business, the nearshore model, though once revolutionary, has started to show its age. Here's a deep dive into why the nearshore IT software services model is now outdated and how TeamStation AI by Framework Science is setting the tone for the industry's next big leap.
