These programs and training have led to several Proof of Concept assignments and even deeper engagements for clients looking to tap into the benefits of Generative AI.
“More and more, clients are turning to Wizeline to help them navigate the myriad of opportunities and challenges presented to them by AI,” said Anibal Abarca Gil, Chief Technology Officer, Wizeline. “In partnership with our clients, we’re setting the bar high in terms of what AI can do for them and their business, while also ensuring that we create a framework that’s developed and deployed responsibly and safely.”
New Argentina Delivery Center To Build on Mexico Nearshoring Expertise
Argentina will join other well established Wizeline locations throughout Latin America, including multiple locations in Mexico and Colombia. The underlying objective for the new location is to deliver high-level nearshoring solutions and support to global customers, while also investing in the developing talent of the local Argentinian community.
Argentina boasts a rich reservoir of tech talent, with more than 115,000 professionals working in the IT sector. The country's emphasis on education, particularly in STEM fields, is evident from its ranking among the top countries in Latin America for higher education and training. In addition, Argentine universities are well-recognized for their modern computer science and engineering programs, producing graduates with strong technical and analytical skills.
“Throughout my 20-year career in digital services, I've collaborated with remarkably talented teams in Argentina," said Javier Gagliardo, Chief Business Officer. "At Wizeline, it's more than just leveraging AI; it's about amplifying the potential of incredible talent through AI. This approach positions us to scale more rapidly and efficiently than any other company established in Argentina.”
Argentina has made great strides in recent years in terms of building up its tech talent pool. With roughly 6,000 tech companies registered in Argentina, the country offers Wizeline a number of benefits.
To meet the evolving needs of its clients and remain at the forefront of AI and Data solutions, Wizeline is committed to adding 1,000 highly skilled professionals, particularly in the area of AI, to its global workforce over the next 12 months.
These milestones further elevate Wizeline’s reputation as a global technology services provider and a nearshore product development powerhouse.
