If you own a small business, one of the last things you want to have to spend time doing is develop your own software – or hire full-time staff to develop those applications for you. You want to spend as much of your own time building the business, turning your own strengths into as much revenue for the business as possible. If you are on top of IT trends for small businesses, then you know that outsourcing your application development to professionals in other countries. In Costa Rica, application development is a burgeoning industry that you can take advantage of for your own business. Take a look at some of the top reasons why you should consider this Central American nation for your software development needs, as Excelsoftsources.com has built an industry leader in Costa Rica working with clients throughout the Western Hemisphere.
Costa Rica is ideally located for agile software development
In just a few short decades, the developed world has become dependent on software. Automotive engines have transformed from mechanical works to even more intricate contraptions that rely on computers to function. The smartphones that we carry are more sophisticated computers than the giant machines that filled room after room in the middle of the twentieth century. Every time you hear about a new product or business, one of the first questions that you hear is, “Is there an app for that?” In Costa Rica application development teams have sprung up to write the code that business owners need to drive their operations.
Companies today need a combination of pre-made and custom software programs to drive their growth, take care of security concerns, ensure compliance with government mandates and provide customer experiences that deliver enough relevance to make those companies stand out from an ever-growing pool of competition. The businesses that can deliver apps for customers in real-time (or almost real-time) can end up nosing out their competition, even when the competition is much more established.
Costa Rica application development professionals specialize in the best applications and tools to maximize the efficiency of your operations, grow into new markets, elevate the agility of your company, and make the right decisions more quickly.
The key is in the time zone similarity
There are application development teams in many countries catering to businesses in the United States and Canada. However, many of them are located on the other side of the globe, many of them in South Asia. That’s a problem when it’s time to communicate with your team. Costa Rica application development professionals are within an hour or two of just about every major city in the United States and Canada.
Why would you want to have a business meeting late at night – or before most people are even awake for the day? If you have insights for your team, do you really want to have to wait until the next day to get an answer from your development team? When you work with development pros who are eight, ten or 12 hours away from you, these problems can crop up all the time.
Instead of waiting hours or even a day for answers, you can hold a quick video call with your entire team – including your Costa Rica application development team. It is possible to collaborate throughout just about the entire working day. So you have advantages similar to what you would have dealing with an application team physically located in your office, but at a much lower labor cost. Excelsoftsources.com has helped many businesses in the United States and Canada with their app development needs, and communication has been seamless.
Costa Rica features a culture similar to the United States and Canada
You might be concerned about the possibility of a language barrier when dealing with Costa Rica application development professionals – after all, the official language of the country is Spanish. However, English language instruction is a central part of the education system in Costa Rica, and the literacy rate here is almost 98 percent, one of the highest numbers in the region.
Excelsoftsources.com is one of the Costa Rica application development companies that follows the North American paradigm when it comes to best business practices, including a commitment to technology and science education. We pursue certifications that have become expected standards for North American businesses, including ITIL, Six Sigma, and PMP.
Costa Rica has a strong community of developers
The culture in the IT community in Costa Rica is comparable to what you find in Silicon Valley in the United States – but the labor costs are significantly lower. Programs like MenTe has sprung up, aimed at recruiting women into what is traditionally a male-dominated profession. Costa Rica application development meetups and conventions are a regular event, and the atmosphere is beneficial to startups throughout the country. Companies throughout North America have been able to take advantage of the creative thinking that developers at Excelsoftsources.com have been able to bring to bear on their operations.
The education system creating Costa Rica application development professionals is among the most impressive in the region. Starting in 1948, education has been free for all citizens, and the results have been predictably positive. Excelsoftsources.com benefits from the fact that Costa Rica is one of the top countries in terms of higher education in Latin America. Since 2010, the number of college graduates has consistently increased, producing an even larger talent pool for Costa Rica application development experts. If you are looking for a company in Costa Rica to help your business with application development, look no further than Excelsoftsources.com. We have a long list of satisfied clients that will be more than happy to provide you with a reference for what our developers were able to accomplish for them. We look forward to helping even more companies in the United States and Canada move ahead in terms of their software development without adding the costs and infrastructure that hiring on-site teams will create.
