Outsourcing IT Services to Latin America
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009
Latin IT Marketing specialized blog has published a very interesting and accurate article about outsourcing IT services to Latin America. Fernando Labastida, its author, has a very good background as a sales and marketing professional in the IT services industry and points out some of the most important advantages of Latin America over other asian or west european countries for american companies.
Among these important points we’d like to highlight:
- Time zone: it is true that most Latin America is in a more comfortable time zone than other continents. If you outsource to Argentina, for example, average work time and lunch is usually delayed one hour with respect to USA, what leads to almost working at the same time.
- Meeting your team: travelling to any Latin American country is much more accesible, cheaper and secure. In the case of Argentina, where we are located, we are a secure country; no wars, no terrorist attacks, no earth-quackes, no-floods, no-tsunamis.
- We speek english: that is an important point, because I think most companies look for countries like India because they know they speak english, but in Argentina most profesionals do speak it too. English is taught at school.
One point that is a total truth is when Fernando says “Somebody who will disagree with you and provide you with creative ideas“. Specially in Argentina, we are used to discuss a lot, so you will find us disagreeing with our clients more than often, and proposing our point of view and better ways to do the work.
Another aspect not mentioned by Fernando is that we have very talented profesionals. We have a good academic level in Argentina because there are lots of private and public universities of excellent international level.
So, wether if you are company willing to outsource to reduce costs but not quality or a internet start-up planning a new web application, you can contact us at contacto@centraldev.net and know more about outsourcing with us.

We are good with smart cards and HSM development too!
Saturday, May 16th, 2009
I’d like to let prospects viewing our site that we are good doing things with smart cards. We have a lot of experience working with MULTOS and MPCOS smart cards. We are currently working in a project for a state of USA (that we can’t disclose) that uses smart cards for transfering benefits electronically to Women, Infants and Children (WIC). We have also just won a new project that will use a smart card for password management.
Finally, we are also good with HSM development, including development of functionality modules. Our experience is based in SafeNet’s HSMs, like ProtectOrange or ProtectGold, but it is easily extensible to other brands.
Remember, if you want to outsource your HSM or smart card developments to Argentina, we have the resources, the skills, the knos-how and very good prices.
