5 Reasons Why Companies Need to Outsource To Cleveland
It's no secret, Cleveland is on the rise. For years, Cleveland was plagued with economic downturns, poor city management and the death of the US auto and steel industry. But, like most great cities, Cleveland is coming back!
Cleveland is reinventing itself, this time, in the tech world. Due to Cleveland's large financial institutions, hospitals, and universities, we have a diverse and knowledgeable atmosphere for technology. This vast array of awesome means one thing (especially for companies outside of the Cleveland area): savings.
If you're in DC, NYC, Atlanta, Silicon Valley or any other major US tech hub, you can expect to pay 2 to 10 times what it would cost to develop technology in Cleveland, Ohio. The housing here is cheap, there's a ton to do, and a lower cost of living means huge savings for companies that staff Clevelanders.
With so many companies looking overseas to save on development and design costs, those of us living in Cleveland are screaming, "WHY OUTSOURCE, WHEN YOU CAN INSOURCE?".
5 Reasons To Outsource Your Next Development Project To Cleveland
- 30-50% savings in development costs
- Low cost of living, less overhead to employ 1099 or W2 programmers/designers
- Huge list of banks headquartered in Cleveland and medical companies which drive innovation and learning to the next level. Developers here KNOW their stuff, their projects rival anything coming out of Silicon Valley. Big data? Check! Massively scalable architectures? Check! Complex project capabilities? Check!
- Internet pipelines run straight through Cleveland. You read that right. Did you know Cleveland is a huge Internet main hub? Did you know most cities in Cuyahoga County are wired with fiber to residents? Did you know there are more data centers per square mile than hospitals? Building out an infrastructure in Cleveland is cheap!
- Real-estate abound. If you're looking for a place to move your headquarters, or to place an additional office, why not consider Cleveland? Real estate is DIRT CHEAP and easy to buy. Cleveland is home to many Fortune 500 companies and many more Fortune 1000 companies dying to find developers.
We know a lot of people do not take Cleveland seriously, but we do. We love our city, our teams, our culture, and we know we have a bright future ahead of us. Those who are sending development work to overseas firms just to get junk in return and spending precious hours fixing bad code could easily switch to using local Cleveland firms, allowing them to keep their money in the US and get better quality, all while spending about the same amount of cash.
