Northridge drives maximum client ROI with flexible teams comprised of onshore and offshore experts.
The purpose of offshore delivery in any organization is to lower the cost of solution delivery and increase the return on investment without negatively impacting solution quality or delivery schedule. To deliver lower cost without impacting quality or timeline, Northridge adheres to a consistent delivery methodology, engages in detailed functional specification, maintains a mature quality control and quality assurance function, and has rigorous hiring standards both onshore and offshore.
The Northridge Global Development Center (GDC), located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is fully owned and operated by Northridge, providing us with complete oversight with regards to team composition, hiring standards, processes, best practices, personnel retention, and solution quality for clients. Our GDC personnel play key roles in delivering high-quality client solutions ranging from SharePoint portals, to custom collaboration applications, to User Experience design.
All client projects delivered by Northridge leverage our True North Methodology™. True North is a solution delivery methodology based on industry-standard best practices that is designed to ensure predictable and repeatable high-quality engagements within the allocated budget and timeline. Northridge has more than a decade of successful client solutions delivered through the True North Methodology.
There are a number of benefits related to having our GDC in Argentina compared to other common offshore destinations such as India, Eastern Europe, or Asia. These include:
- Buenos Aires is one time zone from US / Eastern time, resulting in productive project team collaboration during standard US business hours, and eliminating the need to schedule client conference calls at inconvenient times or require the Northridge GDC staff to work abnormal hours. With software engineering and related IT initiatives you want the entire project team working during the same hours in order to enable real-time collaboration and reduce rework and errors.
- Argentina is closer to the continental US than other traditional offshore locations which enables easy direct air travel if needed for meetings or other project activities.
- Our entire Argentina team is fully fluent in English which provides optimal communication and collaboration with the Northridge and client personnel based in the US.
- There are cultural similarities between Argentina and the US that enable strong collaboration and a clear understanding of engagement goals, objectives, and ideal user experience.
