This organization is<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0an independent online business news provider dedicated to promote the growing outsourcing market in Latin America to the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Held at the Google Quad campus, the seventh annual edition drew in <strong>over 150 executives from the US and Latin America.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The participant&#8217;s goal was to meet in a friendly environment and discuss trends and opportunities in the BPO and software outsourcing in Latin America landscape. In this blog post, I want to share some\u00a0impressions from the conference and the overall landscape of outsourcing in Latin America.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uruit_Nearshore_Company_of_the_Year\"><\/span><strong>Uruit, Nearshore Company of the Year<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7940 size-thumbnail alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/NearshoreAward-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/NearshoreAward-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/NearshoreAward-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/NearshoreAward-20x20.png 20w, https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/NearshoreAward.png 537w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>We went\u00a0to the conference\u2019s <strong>Illuminate Awards<\/strong>, a.k.a.the Oscar\u2019s of Latam outsourcing. It recognizes and rewards Latin American companies, exports agencies, and entrepreneurs who fuel the industry year after year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are very proud to say that we took home the most significant award of the evening!! Being named <strong>\u201cNearshore Company of the Year\u201d<\/strong> was a great honor! Actually, it recognizes\u00a0our 10 years of hard work that contributed to the positioning of our continent as an ideal technology companion for US startups and companies that are looking to develop software.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During my brief speech, I mentioned the untapped opportunity that outsourcing in Latin America means for most North American companies. Timezone and cultural proximity are the most common reasons to go to South America. However,\u00a0I encouraged attendees to learn more about the state of the art talent and availability as further reasons to partner with companies like ours for working on digital transformation initiatives, user experience, machine learning or agile product development. There&#8217;s a lot of potential in <a href=\"https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/nearshore-offshore-software-development\/\">nearshore outsourcing to Latin America<\/a> that companies all over the world should know.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7906 size-full\" title=\"outsourcing in latin america\" src=\"https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/nota-marce.jpg\" alt=\"outsourcing in Latin America\" width=\"800\" height=\"252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/nota-marce.jpg 800w, https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/nota-marce-300x95.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/nota-marce-768x242.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/nota-marce-750x236.jpg 750w, https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/nota-marce-20x6.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Google_Launchpad_Accelerator_a_global_accelerator_for_startups\"><\/span><b>Google Launchpad Accelerator, a global accelerator for startups<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having Google join the party and speak about its <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/programs\/launchpad\/accelerators\/\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">Launchpad Accelerator<\/a> set the tone for the growth of the entrepreneurship ecosystem beyond US frontiers. It helps entrepreneurs in emerging countries to build and launch their digital startups. Also, it provides\u00a0an innovative in-person mentoring program, training resources, and intelligent investment connections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entrepreneurs from 25 countries who are part of the program had the chance to fly to Silicon Valley, the mecca of entrepreneurship, to learn. Google Launchpad Accelerator plans to finish off this year with 40 countries enrolled. By that, it would become the largest startup Accelerator initiative on the planet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_boom_of_Latin_Americas_startup_ecosystem\"><\/span><b>The boom of Latin America\u2019s startup ecosystem<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also during Nexus 2017, we found out that other groups are interested in developing the startup ecosystem in Latin America, such as the recent opening of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/500.co\/latambatchsix\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">500 startups<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> office in Mexico City. Countries are catalyzing growth by replicating and improving the model developed by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.startupchile.org\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external\">Startup Chile<\/a>, a government program that supports national and foreign entrepreneurs. One of them is Ruta N in Medellin, which we decided to use when <a href=\"https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/7224\/\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">opening our first Colombian office<\/a>. Other countries like Uruguay also have Innovation Agency programs to support startup accelerators. Even private companies have been launching their own incubator programs, like Telefonica\u2019s <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wayra<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, the industry is already producing some tech unicorns like <strong>MercadoLibre<\/strong>, <strong>Globant<\/strong>, <strong>Despegar<\/strong>, and <strong>OLX<\/strong>. US-based funds are also showing interest in Latin America startups. In the past year, Google\u2019s Brazilian campus, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.campus.co\/sao-paulo\/en\/about\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google S\u00e3o Paulo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, announced its first batch of resident startups.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even countries like Brazil whose innovative spirit may be temporarily discouraged due to political and economic crises still have government initiatives that support the development of their <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">startup ecosystems as they realize that looking to the future, it&#8217;s a must. Some <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">great examples are the entrepreneurship laws that are appearing in countries like Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Peru, and others.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Outsourcing_in_Latin_America_is_on_the_rise\"><\/span><b>Outsourcing in Latin America is on the rise<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of these South American tech entrepreneurs aim to\u00a0build software shops to service the US market, across a variety of technologies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During Nexus 2017, <strong>Everest Group<\/strong> presented some of the most up-to-date numbers on outsourcing in Latin America.

Today, 90% of our clients are from the US.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> We typically have worked with corporations and mature consumer product companies, but over the past couple of years we have seen an increased demand from start-ups at the seed and VC stages, from all over the states. Fierce competition for good local talent and increasing costs are their main drivers to look after outsourcing solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, building and launching a successful tech product is an art. Therefore, it requires a mix of skills. Lean development, scrum practices, user experience, and product management are some of them. Fortunately, our clients have realized they can outsource all of them!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At UruIT we offer fully functional scrum teams, including <a href=\"https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/good-user-experience-saves-time\/\">UX<\/a> and separate UI roles, <a href=\"https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/why-a-po-proxy-is-key-to-your-software-development-project-success\/\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Proxy Product Owner<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/10-things-we-consider-when-selecting-a-scrum-master\/\">Scrum Masters<\/a>, and of course, a senior team of engineers that work as a companion to the startup\u2019s CTO and Product Owners. We become a very agile technology arm. Therefore, we&#8217;re capable of implementing a continuous delivery model with iterative releases, crafting solutions with the user in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Latin_America_advantages\"><\/span>Latin America advantages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">South America offers a cost-effective alternative for startups. That&#8217;s because they all deal with aggressive go to market strategies and are desperate to gather early feedback from clients. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clearly, <strong>our convenient timezone is ideal for agile development<\/strong>. Whether you are on the east or west coast, you can still grab a coffee and attend daily meetings, planning or review sessions. All of that using your preferred video conferencing tool during normal working hours. And, if a course change is needed you can do it almost in real time. There&#8217;s no need to wait for the next day to implement it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But more important, we feel, is the culture. At UruIT, we ignite <a href=\"https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/shaping-agile-mindset\/\">a culture within our teams in Colombia and Uruguay<\/a>\u00a0based on caring about the product just much as any member of the client\u2019s team. It means they won\u2019t think twice to suggest a change if things aren\u2019t going well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_potential_of_outsourcing_in_Latin_America\"><\/span><strong>The potential of outsourcing in Latin America<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personally, my favorite Nexus 2017 panel was about Silicon Valley success stories. Many of which were stories of bonding between the local and nearshore teams. Latin Americans are very friendly and share the same work values as their counterparts in the US. We consume the same media, from TV shows to music, and are eager to create great things as well! Therefore, bonding is easier and productivity\u00a0can consequently improve. Even more so with the small yet powerful act of having face-to-face meetings between the nearshore and the local teams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7914 size-full\" title=\"outsourcing in latin america\" src=\"https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Startups.jpg\" alt=\"outsourcing in latin america\" width=\"1072\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Startups.jpg 1072w, https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Startups-300x118.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Startups-1024x404.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Startups-768x303.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Startups-750x296.jpg 750w, https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Startups-20x8.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1072px) 100vw, 1072px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We heard it many times at Nexus conference: <strong>South America has a strong value proposition for US product companies<\/strong>.\u00a0As digital demands grow, so too will the industry grow here. But, it could grow even faster! That&#8217;s if we could all work on raising the awareness and perception of the opportunities. They are just waiting to be tapped into on a grander scale.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ng-conf_2016\"><\/span>ng-conf 2016<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We were proud <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sponsors of this great event<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!
