Why near-shoring?
The growing potential of Near-shoring is not a mystery at all. Companies already benefitting from this business practice recognize a spectrum of advantages:
• sustained cost-savings 
• well-organized communication
• opportunities for frequent on-site visits
• good cultural compatibility
On a near-shore principle, we offer end-to-end software development services through our IT centers in Bulgaria.
Combining the operational competences of an on-site staff with the cost-competitive benefits of outsourcing, we provide our customers with long-term and win-win solutions unifying IT service of premier quality with a strategy on cost-saving and improved business focus.
Why Bulgaria?
Being one the newest European near-shoring hubs, Bulgaria has already managed to prove its image as one of the most reliable outsourcing destinations on the continent:
Sustainable pool of qualified IT talents
Bulgaria enjoys a longstanding tradition of excellence in IT expertise having its grounds in an exceptionally well-developed educational system specializing in computer sciences, electronics and engineering.
With more than 47 universities, located in 26 different towns and 5000 youngsters majoring in Informatics and Computer Science every year, Bulgaria's advanced education is recognized as one of the best in the world; Sources as The World Bank and The Economist, place Bulgaria 5th amongst all countries in Sciences and 11th in Mathematics. Bulgarian youngsters rank second both in the world both in IQ tests (MENSA International) and in SAT scores.* The Brainbench Global IT IQ report ranked Bulgaria in eighth place globally for certified IT professionals.
Geographical proximity and none or tiny Time Zone difference
Bulgaria is just a stone's throw from any other European country. Two-hour from UK, France, Italy or Spain; one hour from Austria or Germany: this is how long our customers have to spend on the plane before arriving at our development sites in the capital Sofia or Rousse (a town situated only 60 km from the Romanian airport).
From one hand, such a short trip requires considerably less travel costs compared with the costs for a trip to an Asian state, for example.
From the other hand, Bulgaria has almost full business day overlap with every country in Europe.
For these reasons, our European customers can afford to make frequent and regular visits to our near-shoring centers and have the privilege to monitor in real time their projects development.
Also, bringing over developers for training and updating sessions is a common practice with our customers as costs are reasonable. This increases both team’s integration and performance significantly.
EU membership
Being a full member of the European Union, the Bulgarian legal framework is fully harmonized with the EU legislation guaranteeing a risk-free business environment.
