Some BPO&IT Companies in Barranquilla
“Our location in Barranquilla has been a fundamental part of our success, its service –
oriented and work - willing people, added to the access provided by the airports of
Barranquilla and Cartagena to the United states in less than 3 hours, has allowed many
international clients to be more prepared to take the city into consideration as an option for
their operations. After they visit us and realize what we are capable to provide, they not
only bring their business to us but also become frequent visitors and ambassadors of the
advantages of the country and the region”
Lelio Sotomonte, CEO
“Our company, Adapting, was established in Valencia in 1999 and is dedicated to
consulting and development of document management digital solutions. The opening of
an office in Barranquilla (Colombia) is the result of two factors: the need to reduce costs in
the production of software, and the search for new markets in Latin America.
Barranquilla's election is due to the wide availability of qualified staff, low real estate and
labor costs, strong institutional support, pleasant climate and a convenient location, close
to other key markets like the U.S. and Brazil. "
