Outsourcing is a general term for utilizing talent from other regions in the world. However, software development staff augmentation is a specific model of outsourcing where you don’t hire IT professionals directly, but rather through a local partner. This lets you leverage your partner’s regional expertise in contracts, legal, payments and HR services, so you don’t need to worry about these types of logistics and liabilities.

Staff augmentation is a great choice for companies who want to enhance their teams for better and quicker product results. It’s a highly scalable service, which means it can be used for project based goals or ramped up for more long-term needs. 

Software development staff augmentation also takes care of essential logistics in regions such as LatAm, where companies may not know how to find elite talent, stay compliant with labor and tax laws, and navigate onboarding without know-how in local language and culture.

Numerous companies choose near staff augmentation as their preferred option compared to other outsourcing models out there, because of the flexibility it provides in powering different projects. Not only is it a scalable service, but it also tends to be cost-efficient, which is ideal for startups who may need to pivot a project depending on the available budget. 

In addition, nearshore staff augmentation protects your company’s liability regarding local labor and tax laws, which may be complicated for an outsider to understand.

Latin America is the ideal region for fulfilling your nearshore staff augmentation needs. To start, the tech talent in LatAm is superb, with a wide range of IT professional experience levels and specializations.

If that weren’t enough, LatAm is also a nearshore location for U.S. companies, allowing for real-time collaboration throughout the workday. This is ideal for advancing projects using the agile methodology, which requires close collaboration and regular iteration.
