Time Zone Alignment

Time zones DO matter.
Real time communication and collaboration is key for high-quality, low-cost and time-efficient software.

Being 10 hours apart simply complicates any type of communication. Do you really want to stay up late to talk to your developer?

Labor Costs

It's ideal to assess a critical balance between rates, service maturity and required skills.
But is hourly rate all that counts?

Tangible Travel Costs 

Planning on paying a visit to your extended team?There are tangible costs to consider in the equation besides hourly fees. Meeting your outsourced developers conveys many details that go beyond the strenuous flight hours and obvious jet lag.

Intangible Travel Costs

Let's explore the little (or huge) intangible implications of having face-to-face meetings with your extended team.

Time spent in the Air

Flexibility And Spontaneity

Jet Lag

Physiological condition resulting from a disruption in the body clock or circadian rhythms. In simpler words, it is a syndrome that may occur when people travel rapidly across different time zones. As measure, it can take up to a day for each time zone crossed for the human body to adjust to local time. Symptoms feel worse when traveling from west to east because our bodies have less time to recover. 

Time Spent Away From Loved Ones

We can't really put a price on missing precious time with your family, but we all know business travel often comes at a cost to your personal life.
The outsourcing option that allows for a greater work-life balance will always be the one closest to home.

Culture Affinity

Mexicans are very familiar with U.S. lifestyles and traditions. Sharing the same border minimizes communication gaps and provides a unique differentiator in that the teams understand one another’s perspectives and way of business.

Ease of Doing Business

Agile Teaming

Agile does not work if the teams cannot interact in real time.

Visa Processes

USMCA reinforces the topics of security and migration, making the southern border much more appealing compared to Asia because of its' preferential access. There is no date constraint on visas for Mexican professionals in the United States, whereas H1B visas that allow U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations are strictly monitored, processed under a strict ration and only issued in October.

IP Protection

United States - Mexico trade agreement provides data privacy laws that ensure your project is protected at the same standards enjoyed in the U.S. Your code remains your code.
