Onsite, Nearshore & Offshore — The Right Model for Every Project Size
Individual software projects thrive on continuity. That is why we combine permanent onsite teams in Germany, experienced nearshore capacities in the same time zone, and - for additional development volume - selected, long-standing offshore partners. All three models follow the same quality standards.
The Collaboration Model at a Glance
Onsite — Germany: Customer Proximity & Architecture:
60+ developers and 20+ consultants for engineering methods on site: requirements management, strategic and tactical design, direct coordination with your domain experts.
Nearshore: Same Time Zone, Same Culture:
20 nearshore experts work in your time zone and with a similar sociocultural background - for simple, misunderstanding-free communication and rapid progress.
US Dedicated Headquarters:
A dedicated account lead and project team at PROSTEP’s US headquarters work directly with you.
Offshore: Long-Standing Partners:
For additional development volume, we work together with selected, long-standing offshore partners - integrated into the same processes and quality standards as our own teams.
Scalability: From Sprint Team to Large-Scale Project:
From small agile teams of about 5 people to multi-year multi-million PLM implementations with around 100 people, demonstrably e.g. at an automotive OEM.
On- and nearshore in the same time zone with the same sociocultural background as our customers - that avoids misunderstandings and allows rapid progress.
