Colombia’s rise to prominence in the Nearshore services sector is not a surprise. The evolution of the country – especially in the last ten years – has been dramatic and enormously successful.

  • Level of expertise across various domains of the knowledge services sector
  • Scalability and readiness for the next wave of Nearshore
  • Coordination between private and public institutions
  • Measuring cost and value in delivery of services
  • Remote work and adapting to a new workplace normal
