Nearshoring in the Americas The Rise of Argentina.Episode One: Working on the Same Page and Time zone. In today’s technological and information management landscape, outsourcing IT development is a constant. However, not all outsourcing is the same, and this kind of operations need to take some consideration into account to come to a successful outcome.

Matching project owner and project leader´s working hours is vital to operational success as well as the correct use of resources.

The CIO´s Challenge:

Truth is the CIO has a desk full of complex tasks and scarce resources. Though not the only two, money is one and time another. For the project to be effective, the CIO has to make an efficient use of his time.

Hiring a project from a different time zone facility (with a 6, 7 or 8 hour span) is often seen as a low cost solution, which actually is no other than a serious complication for IT decision makers.

The so called ‘Where are you? Syndrome’ (in which the programmer sleeps while the CIO works and the other way around), is a crucial fact we highlight every time we receive a Work Mission from one of our customers. Having gone through uncomfortable experiences thanks to mismatching time zones seems to be a common denominator in every situation.

Dissimilar time zones that make it hard to get by on weekly or daily basis -among other issues like late night conference calls or even the ones at dawn-, are elements that bring about problems in any development beyond the CIO´s ability or will to face them properly.

What Argentina offers ?

Argentina has exactly the same time zone as the US Eastern Seashore. Most part of the year, there is no time difference between Buenos Aires and Miami, New York, Boston or even Washington DC., and during sunlight saving time, the clock strikes one or two hour discrepancy at most.

Central Standard Time has normally a two hour difference and Argentina has a maximum of four with the Pacific Standard Time.

Having this advantage in mind, Argentina keeps highly qualified staff with software development teams, scrum masters and C-level executives avail-able at any regular working hour in the US.

Less stress during working hours means less effort and complications to move on with the project. Fort the CIO this translates into higher efficiency during his time occupancy.

The right use of programming tools, agile methodology applications, time and operative efficiency can only be achieved when customer and provider work on the same page, not only on proceedings and objectives, but also on the same time zone one.

Working with Argentina means the CIO will be working with people on their project all exactly at the same time.
