LBC, based in Portugal, provides services in onshoring, nearshoring, and offshoring to the Portuguese, European, and North American markets.
Nearshore refers to outsourcing to clients located in close proximity in terms of time zones, such as Germany.
Offshore refers to outsourcing to clients with considerable time zone differences, such as California.
Onshore refers to outsourcing to service providers located in Portugal.
The comparative advantages of each relate to criteria of cost savings, time savings, convenience, efficient communication.
LBC optimizes these criteria for the Portuguese, European, and North American markets, with competitive prices for a high quality of delivery, proficient English communication (plus French, Spanish and German), time-zone convenience, cultural alignment, legal responsibility, and IP Protection (registered in Europe and in California).
In some cases, we can bundle our services to make the best of different solutions, as in the case of a US client for whom we provided project management of a development team chosen by the client located in India. The Indian team developed code, LBC managed and revised the work, and then engaged with the US client, making the most out of time zone differences and relative unit costs to maximize results.
Cost Optimization and Resource Management are the more easily measurable advantages, yet you also benefit from educated feedback during the development process, a diverse set of new opinions and ideas on your projects, and similar legal procedures regarding IP protection.
We exist to support you in this journey, as a trusted and personalized consultant capable of strong execution. You can count on us to lead your next project with an innovative vision and ongoing communication, so you can always know what is happening at every point and specify every adjustment you deem necessary. Our client’s satisfaction is always our top priority, and we are proud to have an extensive record of success stories from our previous partners.
LBC is always looking for new talent to help us serve our clients with the best possible product.
We strive to learn and evolve with every project, and we welcome everyone that can help us move forward!
