Interview with Pascal Rellier, co-founder of Go&Dev<\/b><\/p>\n\nPascal Rellier, why should young companies use Nearshoring?<\/h2>\n\n

P.R<\/strong>. : Si vous vous r\u00e9f\u00e9rez \u00e0 n\u2019importe quel manuel th\u00e9orique qui traite de l\u2019outsourcing<\/strong>, vous constaterez une v\u00e9ritable unanimit\u00e9; les objectifs principaux qui poussent une entreprise \u00e0 \u00ab outsourcer \u00bb<\/strong> sont en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral : <\/p>\n\n As we read these lines, we understand perfectly why nearshoring<\/strong> is perfectly suited to the constraints of small companies and start-ups<\/strong> in the seed phase: the need to retain equity capital, the need for flexibility… Furthermore, we note that the application development phase (for example) corresponds to periods of great stress for founders; this is when everything comes into play.<\/p>\n\n At Go&Dev, we’ve seen promising young entrepreneurs who were completely absorbed by the problems of software development<\/strong>, and therefore failed to anticipate the crucial issues of short-term business development.<\/p>\n\n At Go&Dev, we strive to convince these young entrepreneurs to practice SMART sourcing<\/strong>, and to refocus value-added activities “on shore”<\/strong> (on French territory) by deploying IT development activities “near shore”,<\/strong> in our production center in Rabat, for example.<\/p>\n\n \u00a0<\/p>\n P.R.:<\/strong> I’d give you the Norman answer: “It depends! For very large companies, no! But you have to understand that the digital revolution<\/strong> is such a challenge that many CAC companies are over-investing in digital technology for fear of being left behind. As these same companies<\/strong> have virtually unlimited financial investment capacity in these areas, they are absorbing an astronomical amount of human resources<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n \u00a0<\/p>\n P.R.:<\/strong> It’s true, and we can see that our schools are producing engineers of a remarkable level. The problem is that they don’t train enough of them. And once they’ve graduated, young engineers don’t want to do code, they want to be consultants, project managers and the best of them want to move into finance. <\/p>\n\n As a result, we’re witnessing a shortage of digital talent that won’t disappear overnight<\/strong>. The problem is not unique to France; we’re witnessing an almost similar phenomenon in the United States, where civic initiatives are promoting learning to code among young people as well as senior citizens. <\/p>\n\n Start-up founders are not sufficiently informed about the shortage of IT talent<\/strong>, and look for local solutions, whereasthey have access to perfectly adapted<\/strong>, cheaper and more flexibleresources<\/strong> in Morocco, for example<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n \u00a0<\/p>\n P.R:<\/strong> We need to be able to convince SMEs and start-ups that it’s in their interest to focus on outsourcing<\/strong> to create added value, in other words, SMART sourcing. Start-ups need to focus not only on the upstream UX-UI-functionality definition process, but also on the commercial side. <\/p>\n\n All their energy should be “sucked” into their Business-Development by implementing transformative marketing and sales processes<\/strong>. Let’s not forget that a start-up founder has a thousand things to do. <\/p>\n\n Not only does he need to develop his application and attract investors to accelerate, but he also needs to move as fast as possible in his GotoMarket<\/strong>. If development isn’t an entrepreneur’s area of choice, it’s best to free himfrom technical constraints, <\/strong>with financially rational solutions<\/strong>, so that he can refocus on other key issues, such as developing his business and finding investors. <\/p>\n\n \u00a0<\/p>\n P.R.:<\/strong> SMART sourcing integrates the use of new innovation paradigms, such as theuse of private cloud services and the integration of mobile applications into daily processes<\/strong>. In addition, we use agile management methods (DevOps)<\/strong> whenever we “onboard” a project locally. <\/p>\n\n Our engineers<\/strong> in Rabat have followed curricula equivalent to those of French developers, they all speak French, and are all aware of the opportunity to collaborate on French digital projects. <\/strong> We want to create a transparent partnership<\/strong> with young entrepreneurs, based on a clear understanding of their needs – that’s the mission of our Parisian consultants – and a quest for excellence in technical and functional implementation – that’s the mission of our Rabat platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Interview with Pascal Rellier, co-founder of Go&Dev Pascal Rellier, why should young companies use Nearshoring? \u00a0 P.R. : Si vous vous r\u00e9f\u00e9rez \u00e0 n\u2019importe quel manuel th\u00e9orique qui traite de l\u2019outsourcing, vous constaterez une v\u00e9ritable unanimit\u00e9; les objectifs principaux qui poussent une entreprise \u00e0 \u00ab outsourcer \u00bb sont en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral : As we read these […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4631,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[159],"tags":[158],"class_list":["post-5104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-smart-sourcing-en","tag-it-expert"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n

Even so, France is asserting itself as Europe’s digital nation?<\/h3>\n\n
How can we help young entrepreneurs?<\/h3>\n\n
