FAQs

The core difference is geography and its impact on collaboration. Onshore is in your country, offering seamless real-time work at the highest cost. Nearshore is in a nearby region with a similar time zone, offering a balance of real-time collaboration and significant cost savings. Offshore is in a distant country, offering the lowest cost but with major communication challenges due to time zone differences.

Look for a partner with a strong portfolio of successful projects. Key factors include deep technical expertise, transparent communication processes, positive client testimonials, and a cultural fit with your team. We always advise clients to prioritize proven quality and value over the absolute lowest price.

Absolutely. This hybrid strategy can be effective. A company might use a core nearshore team for complex development that requires daily collaboration, while leveraging an offshore team for 24/7 QA testing or less complex, well-documented tasks.

Solicy specializes in the nearshore software development model from our base in Armenia. We provide dedicated development teams, team augmentation, and full-cycle product development. Our model is specifically designed to offer clients in Europe and North America a strategic blend of elite talent, exceptional value, and effective collaboration.

Armenia has quickly become a popular spot for nearshoring because it offers a great mix of skilled developers, good prices, and a business-friendly setup. The country has a long history of strong science and math education, so its developers are excellent problem-solvers. This means you can hire top tech talent for a much better price than in many other countries, getting great quality for your money.

Its time zone is also a big plus, as it works well for teams in Europe and gives US companies a head-start on their workday. On top of that, the government supports the tech industry with helpful policies and low taxes. Most developers speak English well and have a professional work style, which makes communication and teamwork easy. All these reasons make Armenia a smart and reliable choice for businesses worldwide.
