Here are some of the main reasons why Mexico is an attractive outsourcing location
#1 A welcoming business environment. Mexico fosters an innovation-friendly economy welcoming foreign investment stimulated by government incentives and smooth procedures. Furthermore, the NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) membership allows the flow of non-tariffed goods and services, and ensures the protection of intellectual property rights (patent protection), as well as a strong IP regime.
#2 Favorable geographic location. Mexico is perfectly positioned to serve as nearshore destination for Silicon Valley startups, but is also a go-to solution for companies of all sizes all throughout North America. There are over 300 daily flights going from the US to Mexico and no travel restrictions, which makes collaboration smooth and onsite visits easy to carry out.

US East Coast | -1 | +7 | +7 | +11 |
US West Coast | +2 | +10 | +10 | +14 |
#3 Top-notch QA Tester profiles. Mexico relies on skilled software testing profiles who have the hands-on experience to handle the challenges of web, desktop and mobile testing. The testing services provided by Mexican QA specialists are seasoned with Agile thinking, which make them even easier to adapt to any business size or industry.
#4 Competitive prices. Mexico is a “middle cost” country with up to 40% lower hiring rates for developers than the US. It is also an appealing offshore destination for businesses in Europe, looking to optimize resources, extend their team’s capacity or optimize their time-to-market.
