If you outsource software development to Colombia, Sombra is a surefire way to hire nearshore software developers you can rely on. Sombra has 10+ years of experience as a nearshore partner for 70+ clients around the world. Most of our clients are North American companies from the U.S. and Canada.

Advantages of nearshore outsourcing in Colombia include:

• Cultural alignment with North American companies
• Little to no time zone differences with the U.S.
• Cost savings thanks to lower development rates
• Geographical proximity to the U.S.
• A large talent pool of experienced custom software development professionals
• Industry expertise in cutting-edge technologies and a variety of product types and niches

Our experience as a nearshore software development company for U.S. and Canadian clients allows us to match expectations and avoid culture and communication gaps. To that end:

• Our project managers proactively continuously update clients on the progress made.
• We welcome feedback about communication gaps, which can be given to the project or delivery manager.
• Our clients can reach out to Sombra’s Chief Delivery Officer, Oleh Kozak if they experience significant issues.

Nearshore development means hiring software developers in a country within the same or similar time zone (up to three hours of difference). For example, if you hire a nearshoring partner in Colombia as a Boston-based company, that will be nearshore development.
