Newshore, a lever for productivity

Any person in charge of an IT department or similar knows that it has long been difficult to find good IT professionals in Spain: programmers, analysts... Why is this happening? Spain in particular, and Europe in general, is undergoing a demographic crisis that accompanies, and is in part due to, the general financial crisis. There is currently half the number of newly-graduated young people than there were 20 years ago, and this demographic decline is going to continue over the next 15 years. So, to sum up, there is a shortage of young professionals, the base of most professional services companies. On the other hand, it is obvious that over the next 5 to 10 years Spain will show extremely low growth rates. In view of this outlook, one of the unavoidable lines of work for any manager will be to reduce the expenses for the overall business. Newshore was born to provide a response to these two challenges thanks to its production and management model.

Newshore's solution

Our production model is based on the balanced distribution of project tasks between the local team of consultants and our Development Centre in Manizales (Colombia). In short, service management, identification and analysis of requirements tasks are taken care of by the consultants in Spain; technical design, system development (or service production), as well as quality assurance are tasks that are done in the Development Centre. The advantages are clear:

• Reduction of costs to our customers due to the high productivity of our Centre in Colombia.


• Capacity to attract and select the best professionals because of the possibility of offering a combination of goals and professional career (including participation in company ownership) which is more attractive than what conventional companies offer.


• Increasing the quality of projects due to the possibility of uniting experts in our centre, as well as people specialized in software quality.

More than this production model, Newshore applies a management model specially designed to attract the best professional profiles and help them develop all their professional potential. What does being a good professional mean to Newshore? People with initiative, honesty, competence in the speciality and commitment to their colleagues. And what do people with this profile demand? Mainly, some help to reach their objectives, some help to progress. And that is what Newshore has to offer these people: a non-hierarchical environment where open communication is the keynote and where the whole team shares challenges and results.
