SoftServe is celebrating the opening of offices in Guadalajara, Mexico and Medellín, Colombia to better serve the needs of its growing sum of clients. The addition brings the company’s total sum of global offices to 30, according to a press release.

“SoftServe aims to bring its best practices and benefits to employees in Latin America. The company will offer associates highly competitive learning solutions powered by SoftServe University, professional certifications and international assignments,” a press release reads. “People Excellence, SoftServe’s proprietary professional development platform, will help accelerate career development by tracking achievements and providing a roadmap for gaining new expertise.”

With these new launches, the digital authority and consulting company hopes to continue expanding its footprint in Latin America, confirming plans to add an additional office in Chile in the near future. 

“As our client roster continues to grow, both new and existing customers are requesting more digital engineering to support their transformations,” CEO at SoftServe, Chris Baker, said in the release. “Delivery offices in Latin America will better connect our clients to top talent in the region and will more efficiently support operations within these time zones. SoftServe maintains a long-term strategy to expand a truly global footprint of delivery centers, and we are thrilled about this next step into Latin America.”

The new locations will house the contributions of more than 500,000 IT professionals in software engineering and 350,000 IT graduates throughout Mexico, Colombia and Chile per year, and will therefore promote the company’s global delivery growth. 

Holding an 84 Employee Net Promoter Score, SoftServe hopes to make significant contributions to local communities through social initiatives like Open Eyes charities and Open/Tech pro bono technology.

“We are planning to welcome more than 3,000 local people in this region to our global team by 2025,” North America Division President at SoftServe, Keith Rozmus, said in the release. “Our presence in Latin America will allow us to bring value to our North American clients by offering 24/7 nearshoring and offshoring options with minimum time shifts. We will also create new opportunities investing in local communities and building learning and re-skilling capabilities for local talent.”
