Nearshore data services in Morocco: a service centre managed from France

A senior data team at controlled costs, culturally, linguistically and time-zone aligned with your Paris teams.

From our Casablanca service centre we secure and accelerate your data projects: development, run and maintenance of BI platforms, governance, cloud, AI. Management is provided by senior consultants based in Paris; delivery is carried out by French-speaking Moroccan teams trained in our methods. You have a single contractual counterpart: SOFALI France.

Why Casablanca

Working hours aligned with Paris, in French and English, a three-hour flight away
A pool of data engineers trained to European standards
Genuine cost competitiveness for equivalent services, with no compromise on supervision
A French contractual, legal and security framework

The hybrid France / Morocco model

Senior management stays in France, in direct contact with your business teams: scoping, architecture, steering, acceptance of deliverables. Delivery takes place in Casablanca, by consultants trained in our DataReady approach, with the same methods, tooling and rituals as our Paris teams.

You contract with SOFALI France and have a single counterpart, accountable end to end for quality and deadlines.

Governance and steering

A SOFALI project manager accountable for the set-up, based in France
Agile rituals shared between Paris and Casablanca: planning, daily stand-ups, reviews, retrospectives
Regular steering committees with your teams, service and quality indicators tracked over time
Shared tooling: code repositories, tickets, documentation, environments

Security and confidentiality

Named access management, least privilege, traceability of interventions
Contractual confidentiality and GDPR compliance; data transfers framed by standard contractual clauses where required
Morocco has a personal data protection law and a supervisory authority
Data hosting and access defined with you from the scoping phase

Language and time zone

Teams work during your hours, in French and English. An issue reported in the morning is handled in the morning; business workshops run without translation, with consultants who read your documents and understand your acronyms.

Team organisation

A dedicated, stable team, sized with you and led by a SOFALI project manager
Knowledge of your data, rules and tools built up and retained over time
Ad-hoc expert reinforcement from Paris or Casablanca depending on the project phase

Reversibility

Reversibility is planned from day one: up-to-date documentation, code and deliverables in your repositories, scheduled knowledge transfer, guaranteed ownership of your assets. You can insource or change provider without disruption.
