Nearshoring and Vendor Integration

Successful partner management is based on the deep integration of external teams into internal processes. We avoid black-box relationships and rely on radical transparency and shared quality standards.

Core concept

Service providers work according to the same methods (GitOps, CI/CD, documentation) as the internal team. This reduces dependency (vendor lock-in) and improves delivery quality through direct visibility of progress.

Application

• Shared Toolchain: Using the same task management and communication tools (Slack, Jira, Git).
• Code Quality Gates: Automated checking of deliverables against internal standards before acceptance.
• Onboarding Standard: Rapid productivity gains through standardised onboarding processes for external staff.
