Revenue model

1. Team Extension Services: When a project requires support from a reliable IT partner for a limited time, but the client needs to maintain project control. Provides top-notch expertise without the client pursuing talent independently. Revenue is generated through hourly or project-based staffing fees.
2. Team-as-a-Service: Fully assembled IT team of top-tier professionals dedicated to client projects, without the hassle of hiring, training, or managing overhead. Clients pay for ready-to-go team capacity.
3. Managed Services: Managing people, processes, toolsets, and infrastructure for maximizing performance while reducing risk and expenses. Unburdens client teams from daily workload so they can focus on strategic initiatives.
4. Custom Software Development: Systems designed for long-term success covering all technology processes from first step to final delivery. Global delivery network covering complete technology lifecycle.

Prime Nearshore provides integrated nearshore IT and software development services through four core offerings: Team Extension (dedicated IT professionals augmenting a client's existing team), Team-as-a-Service (fully assembled, ready-to-deploy development teams), Managed Services (end-to-end management of people, processes, toolsets, and infrastructure), and Custom Software Development (end-to-end software project delivery). Delivery is provided through Technology Centres in Portugal, Spain, Poland, Brazil, Vietnam, and Tunisia, with more than 2,430 employees (Primers) supporting European and North American clients.

Product overview

Prime Nearshore provides integrated nearshore software development services through a portfolio of four core offerings: Team Extension (for augmenting existing client teams with specific expertise on a time-limited basis), Team-as-a-Service (fully assembled IT teams ready for immediate deployment), Managed Services (comprehensive management of people, processes, toolsets, and infrastructure), and Custom Software Development (end-to-end development covering all technology processes). The company operates Technology Centres across Portugal, Spain, Poland, Brazil, Vietnam, and Tunisia, and delivers supplementary capabilities including software development services, quality assurance and testing, IT infrastructure, digital services, engineering, embedded systems, enterprise software, Business Intelligence, and Service Desk.
