We are avid gamers at Velv. Not only we love to play online or versus A.I., but we also love to share with each other our scores, our achievements and, of course, the classic competition console vs PC.

The year 2020 has been crazy. I could find a better word to describe it, but let me put it this way: It basically started with a global pandemic and, as of end of July, we’re practically still in the same situation.

Companies have understood to impact of the current pandemic, and we’re seeing an increase of companies wanting to settle a team in a nearshore model. Being able to create a new team, with the support of a local one (or not) can be the perfect strategy for many organisations.

We are seeing more people coming from countries like Germany, Sweden, Finland and Denmark moving to warmer countries like Portugal, and working remotely. It is a synonym of globalization and technology allows this to happen smoothly with video-conference systems, collaboration tools and social networks.

It is perfectly clear that, when working with engineers, developers, designers, testers, etc, companies are somewhat responsible for promoting and stimulating creativity and curiosity.

Why do companies that offer employee perks still make the headlines?

 When we first started velv we had the intention of providing the best services with the best people out there.

There are a lot of factors that should be taking in consideration before you establish a Nearshore service with an external vendor.
