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 has operated for 8 years in the contact centers and BPO markets. We have always focused upon the international market and our business baseline is the export of services. Two years ago we decided to expand our operation and after assessing several cities in the country we decided that our best option was Barranquilla. The factors we took into consideration before taking our decision were fundamentally: the access to bilingual personnel, the size of the city and the number of inhabitants, support from the district for new industrial development, security, mass transportation means, and the proximity with the United States with regards to other cities in the country”.
