The Rise of Mexico in the Nearshore Tech World

The Nearshore Cafe

Unlock the secrets of nearshore software development with our special guest, Ruben Santana, president of Plugg Technologies. Discover why Latin America, and Mexico in particular, is becoming the go-to destination for companies seeking software solutions. We promise insights into the dynamics of this regional shift, from the perspective of businesses transitioning from traditional offshoring hotspots like Eastern Europe and India. Learn how Latin America’s educational institutions and seasoned professionals are keeping pace with this growing demand, and explore the potential effects of recent U.S. political changes on nearshore opportunities. While labor supply constraints and market maturity are pushing pricing trends upwards, the region remains a competitive choice.
In a detailed conversation, we explore the strategic benefits and challenges of building Salesforce teams in Mexico, offering a glimpse into the process of matching client requirements with local talent. Ruben and our hosts weigh the advantages of nearshore solutions, particularly regarding time zone alignment and cultural affinity, even when these options might come with a higher price tag than offshore alternatives. Mexico City emerges as a standout location for its vibrant talent pool and cultural allure, promising companies a high quality of life for their teams. We also reflect on the skills that will be in high demand by 2025, ensuring that listeners are well-prepared for the evolving tech landscape.
