Nearshore white paper
A concise white paper with ROI models and benchmarks for nearshore software development across Europe.
Nearshoring not only solves capacity and cost challenges.
It also delivers tangible ROI.
Engineering costs keep rising across Europe. Nearshore development offers a way to scale teams without losing quality or control.
We’ve created a white paper explaining how to measure ROI using real salary benchmarks and a data-driven framework built for European companies.

ROI is more than a financial metric — it is the most objective way to evaluate whether nearshore development creates measurable value. Many companies start nearshoring to reduce cost, but cost alone does not capture the full impact. ROI brings structure to that evaluation by comparing what is gained against what is spent, turning nearshore delivery from an operational choice into a strategic investment.
When engineering teams operate across multiple locations, hidden costs appear: onboarding time, management effort, integration, and retention. At the same time, new sources of value emerge — faster hiring, higher delivery speed, and better scalability. ROI allows companies to weigh both sides. It clarifies if a nearshore setup simply fills capacity gaps or genuinely improves business efficiency.
For technology leaders, this distinction is critical. A short-term cost saving can look attractive, but a sustainable ROI shows that the model works operationally and financially over time. Mature organizations track ROI not only in euros saved but also in productivity and team stability.
Why ROI matters in Nearshore decisions
Quantifying ROI also supports internal alignment. It gives finance, HR, and engineering leaders a shared framework for deciding how and where to grow teams. Instead of subjective impressions about quality or cost, ROI produces a clear comparison of outcomes.
In nearshore strategy, what cannot be measured cannot be optimized. ROI provides the language for measuring success and ensures that expansion decisions are grounded in data, not assumptions.
