Back in 2004, our cofounders, Rick McKay and Mark Molinari, had a vision: why outsource your IT resources to far-off countries halfway around the world, when you can attain high-quality and low-cost resources right next door? The first US-based nearshore, US-Mexico sourcing company was born. 4th Source takes the nearshore model a step further with the US-Mexico hybrid approach. Depending on your need, 4th Source is uniquely positioned to offer resources in the US, in Mexico, or both. The added benefits under NAFTA enable 4th Source to fly team members to your site within a day’s notice. No questions asked. In addition, 4th Source operates under a unified company culture, meaning that all employees are trained under the same guidelines and are expected to perform at the highest level. In order to work at 4 Source, all employees must speak English at a near-fluent level, and are provided with continued English training as part of their employment package. Healthcare organizations, for example, benefit from the nearshore approach. Certain regulations prevent equipment, products, tech and data from leaving the country. Using a nearshore approach, we can fly the best-suited staff to a company’s office to securely conduct project work. The US-Mexico nearshore model provides the optimal balance of capability, culture, and cost. We have a specialized need that I don't see on your website. Can you help us? Yes! There's a good chance that your tech need is something we have experience with. If not, we'll give you the straight and narrow about how we can contribute, and help you figure out the best option. Digital strong is the convergence of smart people and technology. When IT functions as part of an ecosystem, it enables people and businesses to perform better.
