Topic: The Cost of Reliable Execution: When Nearshore Makes Financial Sense

Speaker: Alex Dillon, CEO of TechAID Solutions

Presentation:

Nearshore isn’t always cheaper—and it’s not always the right answer. The real question for finance leaders is where it actually improves the economics of delivery. This session looks at nearshore through a CFO lens: not labor rates, but the cost of reliable execution.
 

We’ll break down when proximity reduces delay, rework, and management overhead enough to matter—and when offshore or onshore still make more sense. The goal is simple: give you a clear, practical way to decide what work belongs where, based on cost, control, speed, and risk—not assumptions.
 

Key takeaways:

- ⁠How to evaluate sourcing decisions using a CFO-grade framework (not rate cards)

- ⁠Where nearshore changes total cost—and where it doesn’t

- ⁠Why time-zone alignment can show up as real financial impact

- ⁠How to avoid hidden cost leakage in outsourcing models

- ⁠What work should move first—and how to validate with a low-risk pilot
