Argentina is taking a prominent role in the international IT scenario. The following are some of the strong points that make Argentina one of the main countries for outsource these kind projects:
- The government benefits for IT activities
- The well known skills and capacities of the qualified IT professionals
- The advantage of Argentinean man-month costs in relationship with developed countries
- The professionals speak perfect English
- The shared time zone with Europe and North America
- The convenient geographical location (Nearshore)
Cultural affinity
Argentina has been often considered the "Latin American Europe". This cultural affinity with Northern and European countries is due to the number of immigrants coming from the old continent at the beginning of the 20th century -especially from Spain, Italy, France, England, etc.- and also to the great American influence on the region. All of the above provides fluency and affinity to each interaction.
Competitive costs
In Argentina, outsourcing shows important competitive advantages regarding the costs of the main supplies required for this activity: electricity, telecommunications and labor force, all of which represent 70% of the total costs.
Besides, the public sector benefits call centers with tax reductions as an incentive to the activity.
Building platforms to provide business outsourcing processes for local and foreign companies has become possible due to the high competitiveness exhibited by Argentina in terms of costs.
Connectivity
Argentina offers full connectivity nodes where the leading international providers interconnect. Thus, we have multiple access routes to the telecommunication networks and gain world communication coverage through optical fiber networks in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
In addition to this, our country is crossed by telephone, data transmission and Internet access networks belonging to the leading world operators.
Education
The level of education of the Argentine society since the last century has been one of the highest in Latin America. The ratio between university students and the total population is the largest in the region, and can be compared to that in developed countries.
According to the UN, Argentina is one of the most technologically developed countries in Latin America in terms of life expectancy, literacy, schooling level and income per capita indicators.
