ICON, a Latin American based software development house, is reporting a 40% increase in sales for the year ending 2009.
ICON possesses highly educated resources and a deep pool of talented programmers. The high sales growth allowed ICON to increase its resources 33% in 2009. Among the resources hired are project managers and program managers who speak English. The focus on hiring English speaking resources reflects ICON’s strategy of penetrating the U.S. market in 2010.
Hugo J. Cruz, Accounts Manager at ICON, says, “In hiring a new program development manager, we are excited to offer our quality programming service to U.S. based clients.”
Nearshoring is the latest trend in outsourcing and many U.S. based service buyers are looking to Latin America because of the favorable time zone and lower cost providers available in countries like Colombia, Guatemala, and Mexico.
ICON anticipates it will have to hire even more English resources as demand grows for nearshore service providers.
