In December 2006 Luxoft extended its array of global delivery models by opening an office in Vancouver, Canada - an ideal nearshore compliment to Luxoft’s already strong portfolio of locations in Europe, the U.S., Russia and Ukraine.
As a nearshore location, Luxoft Canada meets the needs of companies that might be hesitant to move their entire work offshore, or that are not ready to bear the high cost of onsite work. It offers an additional comfort level to clients with limited outsourcing experience by providing the following nearshore options and benefits:
• Lower travel costs and less travel time allowing for more frequent face-to-face meetings with the delivery team
• Real-time collaboration not restricted by time zone differences or long travel
• Strong cultural, business and language similarities
• On-continent options for companies with legal or business restrictions that preclude engagements beyond North America.
