Levi9 Global Sourcing Nearshore delivery services model combines the quality and flexibility associated with domestic companies with the cost savings of nearshore destinations where, geographical proximity minimize costs-interaction and allows for project management to be more present in the project, while cultural closeness and no time-zone difference make it easier to reach an optimal conclusion eliminating the need in extra-work.
