BENEFITS OF NEARSHORE

We want to ensure every client feels confident. The Amdaris Project Health Index (APHI) allows us to minimise risk, ensuring the delivery, scalability and security of every project. It is a simple questionnaire audit which is reviewed at key stages in a project, allowing for continuous improvement, reassurance and satisfaction.
