Why Nearshore in Morocco?

 

Proficiency in French

Morocco is known for its skilled professionals proficient in several languages, including French, making it an ideal destination for Francophone companies in Europe, by providing easy and fluid communication.

 

Equivalent education system

The Moroccan education system is similar to the French one, due to strong collaboration between both countries. In addition, Morocco is recognised for its excellent level of higher education in IT and engineering.

 

Financial advantages

IT outsourcing in Morocco is (at least) 20% cheaper than in Eastern European countries. Compared to France, it is possible to save 30% to 40% when developing an IT project, while maintaining the same quality standards.

Why Nearshore in Portugal?

 

Free circulation

Since Portugal is part of the Schengen Area, it is very easy to travel to and from Lisbon or Porto, as well as to use Nearshore services locally. Geographical proximity and administrative flexibility are real advantages.

 

Lower IT costs

The average salary of a software developer in Portugal is significantly lower than in other European countries. This means you can save costs in developing your product without compromising quality!

 

Proficiency in English

The Portuguese are in the European top 10 when it comes to English proficiency. They also speak great Spanish, French and German.

Why us?

Security Policy & Data Protection

Our internal policy is to allocate as many laptops as possible to our employees working on remote projects for our clients. This way, we can maintain the highest level of security by establishing, if necessary, VPNs between our internal infrastructure and our clients'. Our hardware setup also enables centralised management of the operating system, office software, antivirus, and EDR.

Portugal follows the European Union's data protection rules (GDPR). For our remote activities, including those outside the European Union and conducted from our Casablanca delivery center, we ensure the same level of data protection as the European GDPR regulations, and all related obligations.

Expertise

Our craftmanship culture enables us to support our clients in the development of resilient, scalable, and secure solutions. Our team is trained in software development best practices and is certified by leading software publishers and organisations. Our selective recruitment guarantees a high level of technical expertise and operational commitment to our clients.

Agility

We understand the current dynamics of our clients' business challenges and adjust our working methodology accordingly. That's why we work in Agile, both as a team and also at the organisational level by adopting the Spotify model. We adapt to your needs: specific team size, skills, collaboration and pricing models.

Geographical proximity

Our location in Casablanca is just a few hours' flight away from Paris, with the same time zone as France during part of the year (winter). Also, the second most spoken language in Morocco is French, which facilitates daily exchanges between technical teams. Our offices in Lisbon and Porto are very close to all European countries, with a time difference of 1 or 2 hours compared to most countries.

Cost-competitive

Our location in Casablanca enables us to offer technical experts to our clients at competitive rates. For our clients, a potential savings of 30 to 40% is possible when compared to a project conducted in France with equivalent quality standards. Our offices in Lisbon and Porto enjoy a similar advantage, as development costs in Portugal are among the most competitive in Europe.

Transparency and fairness

Equity among all our employees is paramount, regardless of their geographical location. We listen to our employees and support their competence development to promote personal growth. We communicate in a completely transparent manner with our clients and team members, allowing us to build trustworthy long-term relationships.

Kindness

Kindness is ever-present and an integral part of our company culture. It encourages mutual support among colleagues, promotes a sense of unity, and ensures projects' operational success. We encourage the development of our talents and their careers because we understand that success is the outcome of teamwork.
