Brandon Johnson Review from Google

Brandon Johnson's Review Sourced from Google
I've worked with many different programs and services to create and maintain web sites since my first HTML site in the late 90s. An everchanging thing, it was difficult to keep up with all the new technologies. Web sites became my least favorite aspect of marketing because everything became so tedious.Linking up with Ruby Shore was the best decision I could have made. When I explained to them my disdain for Wordpress, they happily introduced me to their new system, Waves. Whoa. Surf's up, internetters! Waves is where it's at.I finally was able to create a site exactly the way I imagined it. I didn't run into any of the problems that frustrated me in years past using other services, and it didn't take me long before I was humming along to realize my vision. I want a thing. I get the thing. It just works. I have yet to find any limitations holding me back.Everybody Glows lives online as dreamt because of the team at Ruby Shore. Thank y'all for your awesomeness!Brando

Jay Gillikin's Review Sourced from Google
The business world today has become much more demanding for those of us that want to contribute. For those of us willing to put forth the extra effort, TIME has become our major enemy. Ruby Shore has not only developed applications that save us a tremendous amount of time, they have the ability to understand our process with little explanation. This saves even more TIME!!! Not to mention the flawless operation of these applications and the ability to add more features as we begin to understand all of what Ruby Shore can do for our specialized construction business. We will continue to search for ways to improve our business through specialized applications and we will continue to use Ruby Shore for those application designs, development, and management.

Web Development Review from Anders Östlund
CleverCrew is great to work with. I have known the company for four years now and worked together for a year and a half. My favorite is that you can tell them to fix anything, and they will. Not these closed boxes with specialities that have become common among certain developers but instead open minds and a "fix-it, and make it work" attitude.
Brigitte Granger Founder at Supporti, LLC
4.8★
Mobile App Development Review from Brigitte Granger
CleverCrew was recommended to me by a fellow entrepreneur, and I'm so glad I took their advice. Over the course of building my startup, I worked with at least 10 other developers and agencies, but none came close to the professionalism, experience, skill, and friendliness that CleverCrew brought to the table.The lead developer Tonya was outstanding. She balanced understanding our needs with offering thoughtful recommendations to improve the project. Her communication was excellent, and despite major time zone differences, she ensured we were always aligned and informed at every stage. She also demonstrated strong leadership, managing her team with precision and proactively addressing any issues or questions.We ultimately had to make the difficult decision to shut down company. However, having CleverCrew by our side during this challenging time made the process far less painful. Tonya's support and guidance throughout the closure were invaluable, ensuring everything was wrapped up professionally and efficiently.For anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and collaborative software development partner - especially a bootstrapped startup - I couldn't recommend CleverCrew more. They set the bar for what a development team should be, and I'm grateful for their role in both building and gracefully guiding me through the closure of our mobile app project. I look forward to working with them again in the future!

We brought on Omnilab Enterprise Solutions Ltd. to help move our old software to the cloud. The big goal was to do it smoothly with no service interruptions. We also wanted the old code cleaned up so it’d run faster and be easier to maintain (cheaper too). Omnilab handled the whole migration start to finish, sticking to the plan the whole way. At the start, they did a deep dive into the tech, mapping out what steps we’d need and where improvements could be made. Then, they moved everything to the cloud and upgraded the code for better speed and reliability. They even went beyond what we originally asked and took on a big API project for one of our clients, using what they learned from our system to make that project better too.

Mobile App Development Review from Qasar Younis
so we needed a mobile app done real quick, and another company had started it but we weren’t happy. Omnilab Enterprise Solutions stepped in, picked it up, made it better, and finished it. they did like 90% or more of the work. we got it done under budget and faster than expected, which was awesome. users are loving the app too, so it turned out exactly how we wanted. eW mostly talk through Slack and have Zoom calls every week. if needed, we hop on a phone call. they’re a smaller company but they do high-quality stuff, which means we get really good service without dealing with a giant company. also, their designer is super good and they actually deliver on time, which is rare cause most companies always miss deadlines.

What is an example of nearshore outsourcing?
A popular example of nearshore outsourcing is how Google contracts out its business operations. In 2007, Google partnered with Globant (located in Latin America) to augment its software development team.
More than 16 years later, Globant still works with Google, training 1,500 Google-certified engineers and investing in Google Cloud capabilities. Additionally, it provides over 27,000 employees to other US-based tech companies and to businesses in other parts of the world.
How much do nearshore software development companies charge for their services?
The cost of nearshore software development companies can vary wildly depending on where they’re based, ranging from an average of $15/hour for Indian nearshore software development to $70 - $100/hour for developers based in the US.
Here are the average hourly rates for nearshore software development by region:
On average, the top 50 nearshore software development companies on DesignRush charge $45/hour. Moreover, 3.5% of nearshore software development outsourcing firms on DesignRush accept a minimum budget under $1,000 while 10.5% accept a minimum budget over $50,000.
Costs can also vary because nearshore developers charge depending on:
Why should you hire a nearshore software development outsourcing company?
You should hire a nearshore software development outsourcing company because you can strategically expand your operations without inflating overhead costs. At the same time, it avoids the inherent risks and delays of offshore software development companies.
Below are additional reasons why you should hire a nearshore software development outsourcing firm:
Augment your staff: Experts predict that there will be 85 million job vacancies due to skill shortages. Nearshore software development fills that gap by providing experts from other parts of the region to areas with large shortages.
Gain an agile team: Nearshore development agencies operate in similar time zones, allowing for faster communication, easier schedule alignment, and real-time collaboration. You can expect quicker response times and project turnaround rates.
Affordability: Cost-efficiency is the biggest reason brands outsource. With a lower cost of living in other regions, nearshore software development companies can offer more affordable rates without sacrificing the quality of work.
Experience strong cultural fit: Countries located in the same region often share different similarities in organizational culture, work ethics, and values. They might even share your language. It’s easier to work with them, as there is little-to-no cultural and language barrier.
Expand your resources: Since nearshore software development outsourcing companies can transcend geographical borders, you can access a wider range of global talents and experts who can better serve your business goals.
Ensure legal compliance: Being geographically close means nearshore software development firms are likely more familiar with your country’s technological and data laws, better ensuring legal compliance.
Increase flexibility and efficiency: Nearshore software development firms help you easily scale your team on demand, allowing for flexibility and faster business growth. At the same time, they let your team focus on vital business activities by taking some responsibilities off your plate.
Mitigate risk: 74% of small- and medium-sized businesses are considering nearshoring to improve supply chain stability and security. Nearshore software development minimizes the risks associated with outsourcing, given their time zone and cultural and language compatibility.
The revenue of business process outsourcing services in the US is projected to reach $134.3 billion in 2024, signifying increasing demand and competition for nearshore software development outsourcing firms.
AMSJ is one example of a business that has greatly benefited from working with a nearshore software development firm. After 50 years in the healthcare industry, ASMJ’s needed to digitize its customer channels. Previously, patients needed to call or visit its clinics to book an appointment. But, after the partnership with Octobot, patients could schedule appointments via web and mobile portals.
Through this digital transformation, ASMJ gained over 20,000 active users and booked more than 2,000 appointments per month. This helped the healthcare facility increase patient retention and growth, boost efficiency, and grow its revenue.
How do you choose the best nearshore software development outsourcing firm for your business?
You can choose the best nearshore software development outsourcing firm for your business by following the steps below:
Identify business needs: Work closely with your team to determine your current capabilities and shortcomings. Then, specify your objectives in hiring a nearshore software development firm.
Define your project requirements: Outline the project scope, timeline, communication guidelines, and technologies needed. These dictate the specific skills and expertise you’ll need for your project. For example, a brand that wants to build on Shopify wouldn’t need a WordPress developer.
Consider industry experience: Review company portfolios and case studies for projects like yours. Agencies familiar with your industry, target markets, and project specifications have the relevant expertise to meet your goals, better anticipate your needs, and accelerate project delivery.
Look at their track record: Find reviews and rankings, check their social media, and read case studies. This will reveal their work quality, reliability, and how easy it is to collaborate with them.
Research their home country: Understand the political and economic stability of the companies you’re considering. Agencies in countries with a lot of political strife pose a higher risk of project complications and even incompletion. Additionally, understand the country’s education and reputation in the field. Some popular nearshoring countries rate highly in technological education and skills rankings worldwide.
Set a budget: Your budget will help you narrow your list of candidates, as it determines which agencies and services you can afford.
Send a request for proposal (RFP): Every project is unique and will be priced differently. Send a request for proposal (RFP) to your shortlist of nearshore developers.
Conduct an interview: Even if nearshore software development companies often have a stronger cultural fit than other types of outsourcing, you still need to meet directly with agencies to test your compatibility. An interview will better show if they share the same values and work ethics as your business.
Choose your nearshore software development firm: Notify your final candidate of your decision, sign contracts, and discuss in detail your project scope, expectations, and business goals. You must also establish your project management and communication process to make sure you’re always aligned and updated.
