Nearshore IT services
From modernizing legacy systems to adopting AI and delivering complex projects, businesses face constant pressure to do more with limited resources. Darize provides the expertise, capabilities, and fast IT delivery through nearshoring.
A Nordic partner with reach across Europe
Since our first nearshore operation in 2005, Poland has grown to be our primary nearshore location, with offices in Warsaw, Gdansk, and Wroclaw and more than 100 employees, supporting local and international clients.
To strengthen our nearshore capabilities, we have further expanded our delivery locations to Portugal, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, and Lithuania.
Over time, we’ve built in-depth knowledge of the local culture, legal requirements, and market dynamics in each location, which enables us to guide you through every step of the process with a proven approach.

how we deliver
The right delivery model for your needs
The most effective nearshore setups are not the largest – they're the most capable. We define and establish the model that matches your needs. Where relevant, the setup can include on-site resources to support the build-up phase.
Experts
Individuals
Extend your capabilities with nearshore IT specialists who work as an extension of your internal team, on a traditional time-and-material basis.
The approach enables quick scaling and access to specialized skills, keeping you agile, flexible, and in complete control. It does require ongoing management.
Experts
Teams
Accelerate delivery on a specific project or build sustainable, specialized capabilities with small, high-impact teams.
The setup offers a high degree of flexibility, with the option to delegate day-to-day management to Darize. The initial setup phase takes more effort.
solutions
Projects
Let us take responsibility for complete projects or business functions, with a specified scope and process, an estimated timeline, and a fixed budget.
The solution uses proven methods to provide predictable pricing, expert oversight, and risk mitigation, but offers less flexibility mid-project.
proven process
Nearshore setups built step-by-step
Successful nearshore setups are characterized by clear ownership, well-defined operating models, and high levels of cooperation. That takes a structured process, from initial assessments to performance optimization.
1. Initial discovery
Going nearshore is a big decision. Based on your business needs, we help you define success criteria, assess organizational readiness, and choose the right nearshore model and location, both in the short and long run.
2. Foundational preparations
With direction in place, we form a clear plan of action for the nearshore operation. Together we map internal processes and relations to align on technical capabilities, security standards, collaboration tools, and governance models.
3. Building the core
Having defined the specifics, we begin building your core team. Through our local network, we recruit skilled candidates who match your technical needs and company culture.
4. Onboarding in waves
To ensure your nearshore team feels like a true extension of your local operations, we manage practicalities and task specifications while actively building a strong sense of culture and connection to your organization. As the team grows, the onboarding process is repeated.
5. Operational acceleration
Once the nearshore is fully operational, we monitor performance, follow up on deliverables, and hold regular reviews. That allows us to ensure we meet business needs, make ongoing adjustments, and ensure long-term value and impact.
