Latin America has gotten a bad rap as a service provider. Myths abound which are at a minimum, exaggerated and in many cases untrue. During this session, experts will debunk the myths through case studies, hard numbers and facts to test the validity of the popular beliefs about nearshoring.  We will address the main barriers still facing Latin America as an outsourcing destination today. English language proficiency? Educational level? Tech-savviness? Turnover? Political  turmoil? Economic risk? All of these are issues that are top-of-mind to people considering this destination. The diversity of the region makes it a difficult one to assess and the scarcity of information tends to turn perception into reality. Don’t miss this presentation to get an objective, fact-based assessment of Latin America as a viable nearshoring option.

Topics covered in this session included:

• Commonly misunderstood perceptions about Latin America
• How companies are leveraging nearshore locations and offerings in their global sourcing portfolios
