Our evangelizing of Nearsoft and their guerilla marketing video has made its way through the 'net and resulted in this recent post
"Word on the street at the moment is that several of the leading outsourcing vendors are searching for clients who want to develop resources in Central and South America. This is especially the case for services that require a higher degree of staff interaction and time overlap, for example software development, HR and finance processes. I'm not unusually one for commercials, but I was sent this cute clip - for a small software development outsourcing firm called Nearsoft - which comes up with some very compelling arguments for nearshoring software development work to Mexico for Californian businesses; namely that Mexican nearshoring costs on average 65% of the US costs, compared to 85% for Indian costs for software development services."
Speaking of resources in Central and South America, I recently ran across the guys at SX Networks out of Uruguay at a recent SD Forum event in November. The two key guys were in Silicon Valley for a week of marketing, connecting and networking. SX Networks originally started out in the online games business and has since branched out to offer outsourced social network development among other services. In their words:
"SX Networks is an offshoring IT outsourcing company based in Uruguay with 50+ professionals highly skilled in open source technologies.
Also we are specialized in E-Marketing, Server Admin and Web Design.
Our last successful development is Wamba.com, recently funded by early skype investor.
Also SX Networks was awarded as one of the best technology company in 2004 and 2005 and me as a "entrepreneur of the year" by the Uruguayan government (Premios Arroba)."
Their techncial services include LAMP, J2EE, AJAX, ActionScript, Ruby on Rails, Oracle, Javascript, XHTML, .NET framework, Project Management, SEM, Web design, Flash games, Motion Graphics, 3D Animation.
