Since the idea of outsourcing applications development became popular in the past 20 years, much of that activity has taken place in geographies such as India, the Middle East and even Russia. Those regions have offered an abundant, increasingly tech-savvy labor force and relatively low labor rates.

Companies in the U.S., Canada and Mexico have been looking for “near-sourcing” partners that can meet – or even exceed – the technical benefits provided by outsourcing firms in other parts of the world, while delivering other tangible and intangible benefits. Here are three reasons why a near-sourcing strategy for applications development can make sense for your North American organization.
