Enterprise Management Consulting, founded in 1995, offers nearshoring from its Linux Centre in the Western Isles of Scotland.
Managing director Malcolm McSween says he originally chose the location for lifestyle purposes. "It was a case of looking at where you could go for software development, and the answer was anywhere, but the lifestyle was excellent up here," he says.
Generally, people migrate to the islands for lifestyle reasons, meaning that residents tend to stay there longer. He argues that this reduces his employee turnover, helping to pass lower costs on to his clients. "We will do work for half the price here that we could do in London," he says.
The company will slash a day rate of £750 in London to £400 when conducting work from the Scottish Centre.
Enterprise Management Consulting also maintains a London office, enabling it to arrange for specialists to meet with clients on the mainland and thrash out complex architecture issues before taking the main body of the work to the Western Isles for completion.
