Nearshore Portugal

Portugal offers the ideal balance of proximity and expertise for European clients. Our teams operate in the same or similar time zones (GMT/GMT+1), enabling real-time collaboration during standard business hours. This eliminates the communication delays common with offshore arrangements. Additionally, Portugal provides access to highly skilled IT professionals at competitive rates, while maintaining European work standards and cultural alignment. Our "Ser Inovador é humano" approach ensures you get innovative solutions with a human touch.

Time zone alignment is crucial for project success. With our Portuguese teams, you can conduct daily standups, urgent troubleshooting calls, and collaborative sessions during your regular working hours. This real-time communication accelerates project delivery timelines by up to 30% compared to traditional outsourcing models. Issues get resolved immediately rather than waiting overnight for responses, and your internal teams can seamlessly collaborate with our specialists throughout the day.

Absolutely. You retain full control over both team management and project development. Our nearshore model is designed around your existing methodologies and processes - we adapt to your way of working, not the other way around. You have direct access to team members, can participate in daily activities, and maintain complete visibility into project progress. Think of it as extending your internal team rather than outsourcing to an external vendor.

Nearshore with Aubay delivers the best of both worlds. You save significantly on recruitment, training, and retention costs compared to local hiring, while avoiding the hidden costs of offshore arrangements (communication delays, quality issues, project overruns). Our model provides predictable costs, reduces time-to-market, and ensures stability with low turnover rates. The 30% acceleration in project delivery alone often justifies the investment.

Integration is seamless because we prioritize methodology alignment from day one. Our teams are trained to work within your existing frameworks, whether you use Agile, Scrum, DevOps, or other methodologies. We facilitate smooth integration through shared tools, regular communication protocols, and cultural compatibility. Our proximity model means we understand European business practices and can adapt quickly to your specific requirements.

We have proven experience across multiple demanding sectors including banking IT modernization, space engineering (Beyond Gravity), consumer goods technical acceleration, financial services, insurance, automotive, and aerospace. Each sector has unique requirements, and our specialized teams bring relevant expertise while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to specific industry standards and compliance requirements.
