Client Seminar in Oslo, on nearshoring in Poland

On Thursday, 19 June, ProData Consult gave a seminar in Oslo for Norwegian companies on the increasingly topical issue of nearshoring of IT consultancy services.

• When is it advantageous to outsource to other countries?

• What preparation must be done before you start nearshoring?

• How to integrate consultants from other countries into the business?

• What levels of competences can be expected from foreign consultants?

• How to coordinate projects and tasks between several countries.

• Advantages and disadvantages – and unexpected pitfalls.

• What cost savings can be gained with nearshoring and in which areas?

• What Lyse Energy wanted from nearshoring – did the results meet expectations?

ProData Consult CEO Søren Rode spoke about the ProData Consult nearshoring concept in Warsaw, touching on the following:

• The process used to select our Polish consultants.

• The consultants’ competence and quality assurance.

• How to get started with outsourcing.

• What to be aware of when choosing a nearshoring or outsourcing model.
