Project Management is the discipline of organizing and managing resources in such a way that these resources deliver all the work required to complete a project within defined scope, time, and cost constraints. A project is a temporary and one-time endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service. This property of being a temporary and a one-time undertaking contrasts with processes, or operations, which are permanent or semi-permanent ongoing functional work to create the same product or service over-and-over again.

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.
But for North American companies, outsourcing development of business-critical applications has proven problematic when working with developers so far removed from headquarters-based IT departments and those organizations’ user bases. 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.
