It Nearshoring in Portugal

IT nearshoring

There are many types of nearshoring - almost all non-core activities can be transferred to nearshoring companies.

IT nearshoring involves the transfer of certain functions related to the maintenance of computers and other office equipment. Any service in this area can be assigned either to equipment maintenance (repair of a printer, monoblock etc.) or to software (computer software creation and maintenance). The IT nearshoring is the most common in the world - this is due to the increased use of information technology and the high demands on specialists in this field.

European companies are particularly keen to use these services as the IT sector is evolving rapidly.
