Collaborative Presentation with Nearshore Startup and Avantica Technologies

The Rise of the Nearshore Startup
Competitive pressure to lower start-up costs, the unavailability of local engineers, and the need to rapidly and globally scale an Agile model make it necessary for software start-ups to establish a footprint in the Nearshore region from the very beginning. The session will cover advantages of "Latin America-based Nearshoring" vs. India outsourcing; part or all of your development and customer cycle support/CRM functions; review geos. that are most friendly to young start-ups including Costa Rica, Guatemala and Peru; and provide a roadmap and action plan for implementing a scalable, Agile-based Nearshore vendor relationship.
