Offshore software delivery without the risk
Built for how you work
No two organisations are the same — and neither are their delivery needs. That’s why our offshore-first rightshore model is designed to fit your world, not the other way around. Whether you need resilient offshore teams in South Africa, nearshore capacity in Europe, or a tailored mix across hubs, you get the talented professionals skills at the right price. Flexible, secure, and engineered to deliver value without the risks of traditional outsourcing.
Close when it counts
Offshore doesn’t have to mean distant. With distributed delivery hubs and engineering leads across South Africa, Europe, the UK and India, our teams align to your time zones and geography so collaboration feels seamless. Shared language, cultural compatibility, and overlapping working hours mean our engineers integrate like an extension of your in-house team, giving you real-time responsiveness without the risks of far-flung outsourcing.
Expertise you can trust
Decades of delivery experience mean our teams know how to get things done — and done well. From modernising complex enterprise platforms to building digital experiences at pace, we focus on outcomes, not just code. With strong engineering leadership across our global hubs and frameworks proven in highly regulated industries, you get predictable costs, secure delivery, and results you can trust whether your team is offshore, nearshore, or a tailored blend.

Find your right teamThe 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 cost, so you never have to trade quality for savings. By building a custom team from across our global hubs, we shape a model that delivers predictable outcomes and long-term value all while staying aligned to your budget.
Highly specialised tech skills
The global shortage of specialised talent doesn’t have to slow you down. Our distributed hubs give you access to certified engineers with in-demand skills such as the latest languages, cloud, security, data and AI. We draw from our deep, established talent pools to assemble teams tailored to your needs, allowing you to scale faster without the delays of sourcing from scratch.
Time zone proximity
Offshore doesn’t have to mean out of sync. With South Africa’s overlap with Europe and distributed hubs across multiple regions, our teams integrate seamlessly into your working hours. Real-time collaboration where you need it, with effective asynchronous delivery when you don’t.
Geographic proximity
Face-to-face matters sometimes. With our distributed delivery hubs, our teams are positioned to support in-person workshops and on-site collaboration when needed, keeping all delivery accessible and connected.
Culture and language compatibility
Collaboration fails when culture and communication don’t connect. That’s why every BBD team is built on shared business language, strong cultural alignment, and trusted ways of working. The outcome? Teams that integrate quickly, avoid misunderstandings, and deliver at pace.
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 with European time zones and regulatory environments. South Africa also provides offshore advantages for clients further afield, offering a rare balance of cost efficiency, compliance and cultural alignment.
Offshore
Our offshore hubs in South Africa and India give you scale and cost efficiency without the traditional risks. South Africa provides offshore delivery with time-zone overlap, cultural fit, and GDPR-equivalent compliance, while India offers deep technical expertise and the ability to scale fast. Together, they deliver trusted outcomes and long-term value
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.
