Solutions · ODC / NDC
Dedicated delivery centers, set up and run for you.
Offshore in India, nearshore in the Americas or in Europe: we provide the secure space, employ the team and run the people operations for you. The team, tools and knowledge stay yours, all visible in HummingBird.
What is an offshore development center (ODC)?
An offshore development center, also called an offshore delivery center, is a dedicated facility where a team works exclusively for one client, following that client’s processes, tools and security standards, in a talent-rich location. A nearshore delivery center (NDC) does the same close to the client’s time zone. LanceSoft operates both: 15+ offshore centers and 6 nearshore centers across the globe, with 5,000+ combined seats.
The difference between an offshore development center and outsourcing is who keeps the knowledge. In an ODC the team is yours: your tools, your processes, your culture, your institutional memory. LanceSoft provides the dedicated secure space, the employment backbone and the people operations around them, so you get the economics of offshore without surrendering the capability. Timesheets, attendance and utilization flow through HummingBird, so delivery hours and billing always reconcile.
Nearshore matters when the work is conversational. Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Mexico City, Montreal, Calgary and Lubbock, TX put your extended team inside or beside US business hours, which is why many clients run India for build capacity and the Americas for real-time, client-facing functions.
