VP has Two Delivery Centers in Montevideo, Uruguay

After much thought and research, Velocity Partners chose Latin America as the location of our software delivery centers because of its advanced technology centers, large talent pool, convenient timezone and cost-effectiveness.  Since opening our doors in 2004, we have continued to grow and now have delivery centers in several Latin American countries including two centers in the beautiful and vibrant capital city of Montevideo, Uruguay.   

Montevideo is also the largest city in Uruguay with over 1.8 million people, and is home to almost half of country’s population.  The settlement was established in 1726 as a strategic move by the Spanish during a Spanish-Portuguese dispute.  In addition the city is the country’s center for higher education and the site of Montevideo’s first university, the Universidad de la República, which was founded in 1849.  The university remains Uruguay’s largest and most important school, with a student body of 80,000.

Located along the Montevideo Bay, the city revolves around the Plaza de la Independencia, which was once home to a Spanish citadel.  The Plaza is situated in the historic area known as Ciudad Vieja (old city) and is filled with art deco buildings and colonial homes and landmarks.  Prominent buildings include the Cabildo, built between 1804 and 1812, and the 330-foot-high, Palacio Salvo built in 1928.  It is also where you will find Uruguay’s most renowned theater and the second-largest theatre in South America.  Built in 1856, The Solis Theatre’s main hall seats 1,500 people and is used for operas and other concerts and theater events.

Today Ciudad Vieja is the location of many of Montevideo’s nightclubs, bars and restaurants.  However if you wish to get away from the bustle of the city, you can walk along a stretch of the 10-mile-long, Al Rambla, which separates the city from the sea.  Furthermore, Montevideo also offers several beautiful beaches.
