Assuresoft Launches New Delivery Center in Bolivia

Nearshore IT vendor AssureSoft has expanded operations in Bolivia with the launch of a delivery center in Santa Cruz.

The expansion comes after the company announced plans to hire more than 200 programmers over the next two years.

The company said in a statement that the Santa Cruz location is designed to attract local bilingual talent and integrate multidisciplinary teams that will work on international projects under the nearshoring model.

“Santa Cruz has a dynamic business ecosystem and enormous technological potential. With this new office, we seek to strengthen our presence in the region and continue recruiting highly qualified talent,” said Daniel Gumucio, chief executive officer of AssureSoft.

The Bolivian team will work for the company’s clients in the United States, Canada and Europe.

In the meantime, AssureSoft has launched training programs for newly graduated engineers, providing them with technical training, English language skills and cultural skills to integrate into international teams.

“We have historically established partnerships with the best universities in Bolivia, and we also have internship programs that we will continue to promote in engineering schools,” Gumucio said.

The approach seeks to level the playing field of Bolivian professionals and prepare them for the challenges presented by ever-changing global technology.

AssureSoft was founded in 2006 by Daniel Gumucio in Cochabamba, Bolivia, with a vision of exporting talent and software services. Over the past five years, it has maintained annual growth of 35%.

Since its inception, the company has focused on custom software development and engineering team building.

It currently has engineering teams in several Bolivian cities (Cochabamba, La Paz, Santa Cruz, Potosí, Oruro, and Tarija), as well as offices in Paraguay and the United States.
