min. readStarting a nearshore development partnership can feel like a significant leap of faith. Entrusting key parts of your tech projects to an external team is no small decision, and it’s completely normal to feel apprehensive. At @Abstra, we deeply understand these concerns. With over 15 years of experience helping companies scale their technology products, our goal is to make your transition smooth and successful—from the very first conversation.
Experience and Trust
At Abstra, our founders bring software development experience, having tackled complex challenges and consistently delivered solutions that drive growth. Our strength lies not only in our technical expertise but in our commitment to establishing trust from day one.
While many providers promise seamless experiences, real trust is built in navigating inevitable challenges. A study by McKinsey highlights that 17% of IT projects fail so badly they threaten the existence of the company. This underscores the importance of choosing a partner who not only excels technically but also communicates effectively to navigate any hurdles. The true value of a partner is shown in how they address these challenges in real time, working with you as a genuine ally.
What to Look for in a Nearshore Partner
Proven Experience and Adaptability
With 15+ years in the industry, Abstra has weathered the changing tech landscape. Our team’s experience ensures we’ve likely encountered similar challenges and are ready to adapt as your project grows. This adaptability is essential, particularly for early-stage companies and those backed by VC funding.
Transparent and Effective Communication
Open communication is foundational to building trust. We prioritize keeping you informed every step of the way, proactively addressing potential issues before they escalate. Our US-educated founders have embedded US best practices into our training, ensuring that our nearshore engineers align with your standards and communicate seamlessly.
Streamlined Onboarding for Seamless Collaboration
At Abstra, we prioritize a thorough yet efficient onboarding process that aligns our nearshore team with your project goals from the start. Our onboarding is designed to integrate seamlessly with your workflows, ensuring a smooth transition and immediate productivity.
Cultural Alignment for Effective Collaboration
With a team trained in US best practices, Abstra values cultural alignment just as much as technical expertise. Our team members are skilled in cross-cultural communication, ensuring that time zones, language, and work habits complement your existing team and company culture.
Key Red Flag to Avoid
Beware of Upfront Fees for “Startup Costs” or “Equipment”
Be cautious of partners who request payments before any work has begun. A reliable partner, like Abstra, earns your trust first, with no hidden fees or unexpected charges.
