Engagement models

Choose where your team sits, based on the work.

Each model has a place. Many US teams use a mix: a lead in the US or Canada with engineers in India.

Onshore: United States

Full-day overlap. Best for client-facing, on-site and regulated work. Relative cost: highest.

Nearshore: Canada

Full day, same or close time zones. Best for daily collaboration with US teams at a lower cost than onshore, with a similar business culture. Relative cost: middle.

Offshore: India (Ahmedabad)

Planned overlap hours agreed per engagement. Best for build work, support and extended coverage. Relative cost: lowest.

For Canadian clients, Canada-based talent is the onshore option.

How we run offshore well

  • A named point of contact in North America
  • Agreed overlap hours
  • Your tools, your ticketing, your standups
  • NDA signed before discovery; access and device rules agreed during scoping
