There’s a deep pool of software development talent in Mexico!

Many Software Development companies are shifting their outsourcing to local countries such as Mexico as opposed to traditional sources of talent such as Asia. In light of this, it’s wise to examine what our neighbor to the south has to offer with regards to devops talent. Mexico has recently invested billions in Public Education & Infrastructure, and Mexican universities account for some of the top universities internationally. Consequently, they have produced a significant amount of talent in the technology sector. According to 2018 data by Stack Overflow, there are 223,398 software developers in Mexico, second-most of any Latin-American country behind Brazil. This large number means that there is a large pool of qualified and talented candidates.

Is conventional wisdom the best wisdom?

Neal Aronson, founder of Roark Capital, was recently quoted by Forbes as saying “Always do what’s right and long-term smart, regardless of conventional wisdom.” Very insightful words from a man who helped his firm grow to acquire 16 restaurant brands including CKE and Arby’s.

For years, traditional outsourcing to Asia has been the “conventional wisdom” that a multitude of companies have adhered to. However, it is in an organization’s best interest to be open to the possibility that the systems and tools that may have worked well in the past might not be the best way to do things going forward. According to an article in homebusinessmag.com, in recent years, nearshoring has been a growing practice for many companies looking to outsource their software development to a location that reduces costs while eliminating logistical issues that can sometimes minimize or even eliminate cost savings. It behooves any organization to find out if nearshoring is the “right and long-term smart” strategy for their future.
