3. About Velocity Partners
Better business through better software
HQ in Seattle
Nearshore Distributed Agile Teams
Offices in Argentina, Uruguay and Colombia
Alignment with North America
Highly collaborative agile development
Our people make the difference!
Velocity Partners is dedicated to the creation of high quality software applications. Our clients range from start-up software companies to internationally known brands.
Large or small, their business success is contingent on innovative technology.
Our model is “Nearshore distributed agile teams”. We are headquartered in Seattle and have 400 people working in 5 offices in South America:
Rosario, Paran~a and Buenos Aires, in Argentina
Montevideo, Uruguay
And Medellin, Columbia
BTW, Medellin is striving to become South America’s Silicon Valley. Last year it was chosen by the Urban Land Institute, ** the Wall Street Journal Magazine ** and Citigroup as the world’s most innovative urban area, ** beating out fellow finalists New York and Tel Aviv.
Our highly collaborative approach is enabled by several factors:
Good time zone alignment – Locations in North America are within 1 to 4 hours of our South American offices.
Excellent technology infrastructure and our modern offices enhance real time interactions with our clients.
** And our people - ** They are passionate technical Agilists who possess superior English language skills and are the beneficiaries of excellent University systems.
All team members participate in ongoing training and coaching ** and our attrition rate in less than 5% annually.
[note – not sure I will use this, what do you think?]
But the proof is in the pudding and here is what one of our clients told us:
While I wish we could get more of your team in here sooner, I am also very grateful that you have the patience and integrity to look for the right people, rather than sending us anyone who walks in with “Java” on their resume. Your team members are true professionals and it makes all the difference in the world. “Thank you" is an understatement - we could not have found a better partner at a better time.
