In today’s enterprise landscape, ERP agility has become a survival metric.
Whether you’re migrating to Oracle Cloud, optimizing your legacy EBS environment, or expanding NetSuite functionality to keep up with business growth, your ability to execute quickly and flexibly determines how much value your ERP delivers.
But there’s a catch:
- In-house ERP teams are stretched thin.
- The specialized talent market is expensive and scarce.
That’s why, in 2025, nearshore outsourcing to Latin America is gaining ground as the strategic delivery model of choice.
Nearshore ERP support gives you immediate access to bilingual, Oracle-certified consultants in LATAM who operate on U.S. time zones, understand regional business nuances, and deliver real results without the lags and cultural gaps of traditional models.
In this blog, we’ll explore why nearshoring to LATAM is an efficient staffing solution, and most importantly, an ERP agility accelerator that helps you clear backlogs, drive modernization, and increase delivery capacity with confidence.
LATAM Nearshore: What It Is and Why It’s Surging
Nearshore outsourcing refers to the practice of partnering with talent in nearby countries that share time zone alignment and cultural affinity with your core business operations. For U.S.-based companies, LATAM offers the perfect sweet spot: close proximity, overlapping work hours, and a booming IT talent market.
In 2025, nearshore is no longer a “backup plan.” It’s become a go-to strategy for organizations that need to maintain momentum without compromising quality or control.
Here’s why LATAM is emerging as the new powerhouse for ERP outsourcing:
Time Zone Synergy That Enables Real-Time Agility
Unlike traditional models based in APAC or Eastern Europe, LATAM teams operate in the same working hours as U.S. teams, eliminating communication lags, overnight handoffs, and project bottlenecks.
Whether you need to resolve an issue during a critical UAT phase or workshop a new integration mid-sprint, your nearshore team is online, responsive, and collaborating with you in real time.
Highly Skilled, ERP-Savvy Talent
LATAM countries have invested heavily in technical education, with a sharp rise in Oracle-certified professionals and multilingual ERP consultants. Countries like Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina are home to vibrant, mature talent pools that specialize in:
- Oracle Cloud Applications (ERP, HCM, SCM, EPM)
- E-Business Suite (EBS) functional and technical roles
- NetSuite customization and support
- WMS and supply chain automation tools
Bilingual Teams with Business Alignment
English-Spanish fluency is a given in nearshore teams, but what sets LATAM apart is the business acumen and cultural familiarity with U.S. operations. That means fewer translation errors, stronger collaboration across departments, and better alignment with your regulatory and operational realities.
Demand Is Surging and It’s Not Slowing Down
As hybrid and remote delivery models become the norm, nearshoring is accelerating. A 2024 report projected double-digit growth in nearshore services across LATAM, with ERP services among the top categories. U.S. firms are tapping into LATAM to:
- Accelerate digital transformation
- Clear ERP backlogs faster
- Offset the high cost of local contractors
- Stabilize global delivery without headaches
The ERP Delivery Gaps That Nearshore Helps Solve
If your ERP roadmap feels like it’s stuck in quicksand, you’re not alone.
Across industries, internal IT and ERP teams are buckling under the weight of continuous upgrades, cloud migrations, compliance adjustments, and backlog after backlog. And while these challenges vary by organization, they all point to the same critical bottleneck: capacity.
Here’s where nearshore outsourcing becomes a game-changer: filling key resource gaps, unblocking delivery, and accelerating ERP agility from day one.
1. Overextended Internal Teams
Internal ERP teams are often expected to “do it all,” support daily operations, manage upgrades, and innovate at the same time. This leads to burnout, delays, and lost momentum.
How nearshore helps: Augments your core team with specialists who can own enhancements, testing, reporting, or support workstreams, without requiring months of onboarding.
2. Slow Progress on Critical Projects
Whether it’s an Oracle Cloud rollout or EBS enhancement, projects stall when your existing team is at full capacity or can’t access niche skillsets on demand.
How nearshore helps: Offers immediate access to Oracle-functional and technical talent, enabling you to staff up quickly and hit your go-live milestones without compromise.
3. Costly and Inflexible Onshore Hiring
The U.S. talent market is tight. Hiring full-time ERP experts, or relying solely on domestic contractors, can blow up your budget and still leave skill gaps uncovered.
How nearshore helps: Provides competitive cost advantages over onshore teams, while maintaining high standards of expertise, governance, and accountability.
Key Benefits of LATAM Nearshore Talent for ERP Agility
Nearshore outsourcing is a long-term strategy to scale delivery, accelerate innovation, and unlock capacity without compromising quality. LATAM talent, in particular, is uniquely positioned to support ERP agility in a way that domestic-only models often can’t.
Here’s why:
1. Real-Time Collaboration That Keeps Projects Moving
Forget overnight turnarounds and 24-hour feedback loops. With LATAM-based consultants working in EST and CST time zones, your teams can:
- Resolve issues the same day they arise
- Conduct live sprint planning, standups, and retrospectives
- Collaborate with functional users and stakeholders in real time
2. Oracle-Certified, ERP-Experienced Professionals
LATAM is no longer “junior nearshore.” The region is home to deeply experienced professionals who specialize in:
- Oracle Cloud (ERP, HCM, SCM, EPM)
- E-Business Suite functional and technical tracks
- NetSuite customization, support, and integrations
- WMS, analytics, testing, and DevOps within Oracle ecosystems
3. Bilingual, Business-Aligned Communication
LATAM consultants typically speak fluent English and Spanish, but it’s more than language. They’re trained in U.S. business norms, regulatory awareness, and communication best practices.
4. Flexible Capacity, Predictable Costs
With LATAM nearshore, you can scale ERP support up or down without long-term contracts or inflated costs.
- Onboard talent in days, not weeks
- Choose between staff augmentation, managed teams, or hybrid delivery
- Pay for the skills and hours you actually need
5. Reduced Risk, Improved Delivery Velocity
When delivery delays, compliance issues, or rework creep in, project risk goes up. Nearshore talent mitigates this by:
- Embedding directly into your time zone and delivery cadence
- Ensuring continuity with long-tenured resources and low attrition
- Supporting DevOps, testing, and reporting at speed
