He understands the difficulties the country faces in export IT services because of his role as president of Brasscom an entity created by leading IT services executives several years ago to promote exported professional services  to the international market He points out that one of the greatest difficulties faced by the services suppliers is the high cost of IT labor that is double the costs of Argentina. where IBM also has delivery facilities Roughly 70% of service companies’ costs are payroll based and as result they operate at a disadvantage compared with India China and even with countries in Latin America Another barrier is the lack of differentiated services that add real value to the actual service “The country has to deliver sophisticated services and not call center services” highlighting the need for investments in innovative solutions that offer competitive differentiation IBM has just chosen Brazil to be the headquarters of two projects One is a Rio De Janeiro operation – the third of its kind in the world – focused on developing applications for oil a laboratory that will search and create devices to make a more intelligent planet Both will operate together to serve local and international client demands Kirk Laughlin is an award-winning editor and subject expert in information technology and offshore BPO/ contact center strategies and website in this browser for the next time I comment Argentina’s battered economy is finally showing signs of revival President Javier Milei’s radical “shock therapy” is beginning to bear fruit The fiscal rebound is already visible in the stock market — often viewed asRead more Multinational companies appear to be hitting pause on their future plans amid growing fears of a potential trade war Geopolitical friction is already disrupting global supply chains and leaving customer service teamsRead more Nearshore operators have been discussing how artificial intelligence could transform the industry for years like many other industries that AI experts had promised would bring transformation Nexus Illuminate Awards Copyright © 2025 Nearshore Americas, a division of Next Coast Media and Marketing Services [gravityform id=”60″ title=”true” description=”false”] [gravityform id=”61″ title=”true” description=”false”] [contact-form-7 id=”7″ title=”Newsletter”] This is the hilarious moment a drug gang's guard dog laid down on the ground alongside the criminal as they were arrested in Brazil during a drugs bust.   Narcotics cops arrested three men on a ranch in Hortolandia, Sao Paulo state, on Thursday and footage of the raid shows them lying face-down on the floor with their hands cuffed behind their backs.  And the gang's massive Rottweiler decided to surrender too and flopped down beside the three suspects. The officers seized 1,176 bricks containing 1.1 tonnes of marijuana from the property. According to Narcotics Police, the drugs had been shipped to the house in Hortolandia from Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul state. But police had been monitoring the property and swept in when the delivery arrived. Cops believe the drugs were destined to be sold in and around Campinas, Sao Paulo state. The men, one of whom owns the house, were taken to the Narcotics Police headquarters in nearby Americana. The dog remained in the property with the female owner of the land around the house, who police say is not involved in drug trafficking. Cops will return to the ranch today to check on the Rottweiler and two other dogs to see if the the animal protection services need to be called.
