It is well known India has the biggest slice of the IT cake. How did they get it? It´s easy, Indian software providers know how to take advantage of opportunities. Indian companies have joined various groups and Associations to have a strong presence in the IT world. Reunions, congress, etc. everything where they can gather is an excuse to share ideas, tips, and valuable information about the market. This environment enriches their knowledge and strategies to get into the US business.
Indeed the Indian IT service market is formidable. So can Mexican companies can do the same or better? Mexican software providers have everything to become the next IT hub and even more, the nearshore factor makes them an invaluable place to outsource software development. Mexican software providers only need a little push. If they join more associations, just as Indian companies are doing, they can get more benefits. Sharing ideas and becoming closer are some of the keys to take the control in a competitive and demanding technology world. Is not only about capabilities, this is more about creating connections and alliances that support a strong Mexican IT network.
Even though close geographic proximity between Mexico and US is an advantage, it could become a negative point if Mexican providers don´t use IT to gain more ground. While those doing business with Indian software providers are traveling many hours to meet, Mexican companies seem to be throwing away this opportunity. It´s easy for Mexicans to travel, just one hop is necessary to gather with their clients in the US. Inviting clients to Mexico to show them the place of work is a smart action to let them know the cultural similarities and the well understanding that they will have during the relationship.
All this not bad news. Now is a good time to double the efforts and make their services known to achieve greater success. Mexico has all the advantages; it is only a matter of being aggressive. It´s time to work harder to be better every day.
