What our clients say about us

Leading European technology company

I am impressed by the quality of the developers and also that they are so easy to work with. I do not see problems with cultural differences that I have seen when working with teams in other countries.

Anders Hermansson

CTO

N-iX client Schibsted

With all the best will in the world, if the team isn't on top of their game, then it's not going to work and N-iX, the team is brilliant at what they do. It's very well organized, very efficient, very quick to respond to any requests and it really does feel like we are a part of the same team and not in different countries, which is actually the truth.

Steven Chilver

Product Manager

N-iX client Cleverbridge

N-iX has been a perfect cultural fit for us. I would say number one is that the German and the Ukrainian culture is not too far away when it comes to direct communication. I don't feel we have to sugarcoat too much on any side. The directness and really being transparent on what we really think or feel is really helpful in this way.

Robin Moran

Director of Software Development

N-iX client Orbus Software

Certainly one of the things that we value most about that kinda cultural approach is it’s relaxed but they work, work tremendously hard. They put a lot of effort into the work they do.

Stephen Parsons

Development Manager

Global Fortune 100 manufacturing company

They balance strong software expertise with a state-of-the-art approach to managing software projects. This was a complex migration project, and they took us by the hand and guided us through it.

FAQ

Nearshore software development means collaborating with a team in a nearby country, typically within similar time zones, to delegate the implementation of custom solutions. In addition to smoother communication and cultural alignment, with nearshore software development services you gain access to a broader pool of specialized expertise and often more cost-effective options.

At N-iX, we carefully tailor our development approach by selecting the Agile frameworks or combinations that best align with each client’s specific goals, industry context, and regulatory demands. For nearshore projects that require strict compliance, thorough pre-market validation, or operate in high-risk environments, we can also apply Waterfall methodologies, offering a structured, sequential process where every phase is rigorously planned and executed.

Nearshore software development services help businesses engage experts with deep knowledge of emerging technologies and specialized, hard-to-find skill sets. By bringing fresh perspectives through external expertise, businesses can accelerate innovation and gain a competitive advantage.

Trusted nearshore partners follow international data protection standards, such as GDPR, ISO 27001, or other industry-relevant regulations, and apply strict security protocols to safeguard sensitive information. In addition, with shared or closely aligned legal frameworks, nearshore engagements can provide stronger data governance, compliance, and IP protection compared to offshore models.

Start by evaluating the vendor’s technical expertise, experience in your industry, and track record of similar projects, as these factors directly impact the outcomes of your future partnership. It’s also important to assess their ability to scale, recruitment processes, and the size of their talent pool to make sure they can quickly ramp up your development capacity with the right expertise.
