Smart Shoring

Intelligent & Future-Ready

Digitalization and global networking offer companies in the financial sector entirely new opportunities to deliver services more efficiently and precisely. This is exactly where SFT's Smart Shoring comes in: a strategic and location-independent distribution of IT services.

To optimally utilize the full potential of available resources, we combine the best of offshoring, nearshoring, and onshoring, tailored to your requirements, goals, 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 Services 2.0, 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.
