Nearshore & outsourcing

Scalable IT delivery with German project management

Experienced development teams within the EU, combined with project responsibility and communication from Germany — high quality, predictable costs, flexible scaling and processing that does not leave the EU.

What nearshore means at Escalt

At Escalt, nearshore is not simply shared resources but an integrated delivery model. Typical elements:

Strategic steering and project responsibility in Germany
Implementation by qualified teams within the EU, particularly in Poland and Romania
Uniform quality standards and clear development processes
Transparent communication and structured project planning
Processing exclusively within the EU — processing outside the EU only happens if you explicitly agree to it

When nearshore & outsourcing makes sense

When additional development or IT capacity is needed at short notice
When the cost frame of development projects needs optimizing
When scaling without long-term fixed costs is required
When internal teams need relief
When projects run over a longer period
When software development, digitalization or IT modernization is planned

Bavarian funding

Digitalbonus Bayern: up to 50% subsidy

The Digitalbonus Bayern programme funds digitalization projects of small and medium-sized companies with up to 50% of the eligible costs: up to 7,500 euros with Digitalbonus Standard and up to 30,000 euros with Digitalbonus Plus. In the initial consultation, Escalt checks whether your project qualifies and helps you prepare the application. The company must submit the application itself via its ELSTER business account — that is a requirement of the programme. Important: the project must not have started yet; a binding order already counts as a start.
