Dexian Successfully Provides Mature Agile Teams via Nearshore Services

Imagine a tale of miscommunication, pushed deadlines, and a frustrating lack of expertise. These were the very real problems of a bustling national home improvement retailer and its IT support.

Cue Dexian. As a renowned global talent and technology solutions firm, we understand that this case was more than a simple plug-and-play staffing situation; it was about building and integrating a strong team that could truly deliver.

Our solution? Establishing dedicated Agile teams in Brasil, a nearshore powerhouse within a similar time zone. We weren’t just throwing anyone into the mix; we were building the right group of skilled developers and testers in Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, .NET, QA, front-end development (React), DevOps, project management, Android Kotlin, GCP, and Azure.

But that’s not all. We also streamlined the recruitment process, focusing on rigorous technical assessments to ensure we were bringing in the best of the best, while also ensuring swift time-to-market. Reducing hiring times freed up managers to focus more on strategic initiatives rather than the minutia.

The results? A 25% reduction in costs compared to onshore teams (without sacrificing aptitude). Team communication improved dramatically, thanks to the alignment of time zones. The quality of the software skyrocketed, and projects that were once stalled began to move forward with renewed momentum. There were also more intangible triumphs for our client: the sense of partnership, trust, and confidence that comes from knowing they now have a talented team that’s truly invested in the success of the business.
