Mexico IT Development

Mexico IT development is an activity that is being proactively promoted by the Mexican Ministry of Economics and is a viable low-cost country option for organizations of all sizes through the Vangtel Shelter Plan.

In 2001, the Mexican federal government declared software development one of the country’s “strategic sectors”, and in 2002 established PROSOFT (Program for the Development of Software).    Under this initiative, a PROSOFT fund was established for the purpose of:

• Attracting software industry companies and investment
• Promoting the creation of Mexican IT jobs and exports
• Developing the domestic IT market

The fund is meant to support a variety of activities such as education and development of human resources, technological innovation and development, processes capacity and quality, productive projects, as well as promotion and marketing among others.

Incentives awarded may account for up to 50% of the total expenses of a specified Mexico IT development project. State governments usually provide additional incentives or supplement those given by the Federal Government.

In partnership with Vangtel, companies with little or no international experience can reap the benefits of rapidly establishing and maintaining their own cost saving nearshore Mexico IT development facility.  Companies have complete control over their intellectual property and technology, while Vangtel:

• Recruits and manages human resources
• Prepares and Manages Payroll
• Manages Mexican labor relations
• Provides accounting services
• Maintains and manages physical infrastructure
• Provides security and maintains workforce safety compliance (OSHA)
• Manages workers transportation
• Ensures Mexican Customs compliance
• Procures MRO supplies

When compared to other options Mexico and the United States share cultural affinity, time zone compatibility and the NAFTA, which provides Treaty NAFTA (TN) visas for easy travel back and forth between the two countries for training and work purposes.

Vangtel makes establishing your own Mexico IT Development operation an easy proposition.
