Nearshore AmericasIn is not an overstatement to say that the future of software delivery from Latin America rests on the ability of development teams to generate solutions that answer the demand for digital innovation.
Digital – as we know – is a broad topic and can encompass services ranging from parsing and producing commercial value through data analytics; to expanding the horsepower of digital channels to improve the customer experience (CX); to migrating legacy platforms to the cloud in order to modernize the IT environment; to guiding banking and retailer customers on to the mobile platform; to embracing artificial intelligence (AI) to dramatically advance performance in key process areas. And that’s just for starters.
The digital wave is not just very big and increasingly common, it also serves as a barometer on the readiness and capabilities available among the hundreds of organizations in Latin America that market themselves as digital innovators.
Nearshore Americas is addressing this important topic by hosting a webinar on December 5th at 2pm EDT. Registration is now open. We encourage our readers, especially those making decisions around which partners to work with on their digital journeys, to make a point to attend.
The ‘live analysis’ broadcast will feature a one-hour discussion with the following speakers:
