DESCRIPTION

Latin America has emerged as a promising destination for the global sourcing industry. Attributes such as low wages, modern & extensive infrastructure, and sizeable talent pool makes it an attractive destination to outsourcers. In addition, the geographical proximity to US, dual language capability (English and Spanish) and cultural compatibility ensures that the region serves as an ideal near-shore destination.The initiatives undertaken by local governments in this region have enabled the IT-BPO businesses to reach boom. These initiatives include providing financial assistance, favorable tax regimes, simplified corporate/labor laws, and reduced regulatory hurdles. For example, in Costa Rica, under the Free Zone Regime, services companies that export more than 50 percent of the production in Costa Rican operation enjoy a 100% exemption on corporate income tax (8 years, 50% exemption during the following 4 years). In Argentina, focused initiatives such as IT Action Plan have been undertaken to promote software and IT services in the region. No wonder then that the number of business process outsourcing (BPO), shared service centers (SSC), call centers, offshore delivery centers have grown rapidly in the last few years.
