Digitalization and global connectivity offer financial services providers new opportunities to deliver services more efficiently and precisely. This is where our Smart Shoring approach comes in – a smart, strategic method of distributing IT services across locations to optimize quality, speed, and cost-efficiency. We combine the best of offshoring, nearshoring, and onshoring – always tailored to your requirements, objectives, and security needs.

SCALE FLEXIBLYSmart shoring instead of standard offshoring

One example: classic offshoring models often fail to sustainably solve the shortage of skilled professionals. As part of our Managed Service, Smart Shoring not only helps optimize costs – it also ensures operational scalability and close alignment with clients, thanks to flexible team compositions based on project phase, regulatory level, and security requirements.
