Meet our journey since 2017 and how we establish velv as a top leading nearshoring company, offering services from Lisbon and Porto in Portugal and how we are now expanding into Europe.

Nearshore IT outsourcing to service providers within the EU offers a direct pathway to GDPR compliance. These providers are not only geographically closer but also operate under the same legal framework, which significantly simplifies adherence to data protection standards. Nearshoring enables real-time collaboration and communication, which are critical for effective data protection management.

In recent years, the IT industry has seen a significant increase in nearshore partnerships between Portugal and The Netherlands. But what makes this particular partnership so successful?

Nearshoring has become an increasingly popular option for companies looking to outsource their software development needs. One country that has emerged as a top destination for nearshoring is Portugal. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of nearshoring software development teams in Portugal, the best way to approach this service model, and end by referring to Velv as a high-quality company that specializes in software development.

Picture this: a world where borders don't limit creativity and collaboration. That's what we've achieved with our amazing Portuguese team working at one of our Belgium clients, Tilroy. This story isn't just about software development; it's about building bridges and breaking down walls, literally and figuratively.

Portugal's Unique Ecosystem for Nearshoring Success: Among the nations vying for prominence in the nearshoring realm, Portugal stands out with its unique blend of technological prowess, skilled workforce, and conducive business environment.

Here are the main indicators that might be a good reason for a company to expand their software development teams through nearshoring.

In today's digital age, software development has become an essential aspect of business growth and success. However, finding and retaining skilled software developers can be challenging, especially for companies based in developed countries, where the competition for talent is fierce. This is where nearshoring comes in, as it offers a solution to this problem by enabling businesses to access a pool of talented developers in nearby countries.

Companies have understood to impact of the current pandemic, and we’re seeing an increase of companies wanting to settle a team in a nearshore model. Being able to create a new team, with the support of a local one (or not) can be the perfect strategy for many organisations.

We are seeing more people coming from countries like Germany, Sweden, Finland and Denmark moving to warmer countries like Portugal, and working remotely. It is a synonym of globalization and technology allows this to happen smoothly with video-conference systems, collaboration tools and social networks.
