Outsourcing alone isn’t enough anymore. To really move the needle, businesses need delivery models that flex and scale with them, ones that bring resilience, reliability and results without blowing the budget. That’s where our rightshoring approach comes in.
At BBD, we’ve designed our models to help you build the kind of software teams that truly fit your world, whether you’re growing fast, managing complex delivery, or navigating changing demands.
Here’s what that looks like:
Smarter cost control through flexible, purpose-built engagement models
On-demand delivery capacity with scalable teams that move when you need them to
Access to skilled, certified professionals who know your domain and speak your tech
Confidence that your data, systems and service levels are protected
A faster path to value with proven frameworks and rapid onboarding

Why choose our rightshore delivery model?
Built for how you work
No two organisations are the same and neither are their delivery needs. That’s why we shape our engagement models around you, whether that means nearshore, offshore, or a tailored mix. You get the right people with the right skills, at the right time, without the overhead of managing rigid setups or misaligned teams.
Close when it counts
Our teams work in time zones that line up with yours, so collaboration feels easy and natural. Shared language, cultural alignment, and real-time responsiveness mean our teams integrate quickly and work like an extension of yours.
Expertise you can trust
With decades of experience across industries and technologies, our people know how to get things done — and done well. From large-scale enterprise platforms to fast-moving digital builds, we focus on delivering real outcomes, not just code. And because we bring proven frameworks, predictable costs, and reliable delivery to the table, you can move faster with less risk and fewer surprises.
South Africa as the smart nearshoring choice for Europe
We see South Africa as one of the most strategic nearshoring options for European organisations and have built our delivery models to take full advantage of that.
With the largest complement of South African-based IT professionals ready to integrate into your teams, we offer deep technical expertise, strong engineering culture, and enterprise-grade delivery.
South Africa’s time zone overlaps closely with Europe, English is the primary business language, and there’s strong cultural alignment, all making real-time collaboration easy. And with POPIA closely mirroring GDPR, compliance is seamless.
Most importantly, our focus is on outcomes. Whether scaling complex platforms or delivering high-impact digital builds, we help you move faster, smarter, and with less risk.
Let's get startedThe benefits of righshoring
Nearshoring isn’t just a delivery model — it’s a smarter way to scale while giving you a competitive edge without the complexity. Whether we build a fully or partially nearshore team for your engagement, the benefits are clear:
Cost efficiencies
We work with you to find the right balance of skill, experience, and price so you never have to trade quality for savings. By building teams across our global hubs, we tailor the model to suit your delivery needs and your budget.
Highly specialised tech skills
The global shortage of specialist technical talent continues to grow especially in fast-evolving fields like cloud, security, and AI. Through our nearshore model, you gain access to certified professionals with in-demand expertise that may be scarce locally. We’ve already found and hired them — so you don’t have to.
Time zone proximity
With teams operating in time zones close to yours, collaboration feels natural. Real-time communication, faster decision-making, and agile delivery come standard — while any non-overlapping hours are used to keep delivery moving forward through effective asynchronous practices.
Geographic proximity
When in-person matters, we make it simple. With nearshore hubs just a short flight or train ride away, we can easily facilitate workshops, training sessions, and face-to-face collaboration when needed.
Cultural and language compatibility
Our teams share similar cultural and business norms, making collaboration smoother and communication clearer. The result? Stronger team cohesion, better alignment, and faster delivery with fewer misunderstandings.
BBD's engagement models
Co-shore
A blended model with team members based both locally and internationally, working toward shared project goals. Co-shore delivery is ideal for balancing proximity, cost, and access to skill, with key roles close to your business, and broader support from our nearshore and offshore hubs.
Nearshore
With teams in South Africa and Portugal, we offer nearshore solutions that align closely with European time zones, working styles, and regulatory environments. Whether fully nearshore or part of a wider model, our teams integrate easily with yours — driving collaboration and delivery in real time.
Offshore
Looking for maximum cost efficiency without compromising on quality? Our India-based teams offer scalable, remote delivery with deep technical expertise and strong governance practices. Offshore models are ideal for long-term delivery engines or team augmentation at scale..
Hybrid
Many of our clients use a combination of models tailored to different stages or streams of work. With hybrid delivery, we help you shape a team structure that evolves with your needs — blending co-shore, nearshore, and offshore talent to strike the right balance between cost, control, and capacity.
