Software Outsourcing To Brazil

Brazil

Brazil promises to be a good source for outsourcing, although it is difficult to find qualified vendors. It is likely to be a bit more expensive than developers in other parts of the world. Brazil’s culture is similar to western cultures. In addition it has efficient telephone communications, and world-class buildings and facilities.

The Accelerance Global Partner Network includes teams from Brazil that have been thoroughly screened and vetted. These GPN members have reasonably good command of English and have agreed to Accelerance’s terms for intellectual property protection.
