VP Clients Visit our Latin American Delivery Centers





Ever since we opened our doors, Velocity Partners has invited clients to visit our Latin America delivery centers to experience firsthand our professional operations as well as to strengthen connections with their team.  In fact time and time again, we have seen numerous ways that face to face interactions positively impact client/VP relationships.  

For example just last month, we had the new management team from Polycom, a leader in HD video conferencing, voice conferencing & telepresence, visit our offices in Montevideo, Uruguay.  The trip was a way to not only express appreciation to their team but to get to know them better.  It also presented the opportunity to start planning for future projects.   
  
After several meetings, the team decided on the most effective work methods, the Agile processes to implement, and began Sprint 1 after determining to move ahead with Scrum.  The Polycom group left a week later, confident with their team and a promise to return.

In April we were pleased to welcome the Kinnser team to our Rosario, Argentina office.  Kinnser’s software, which is as easy to use as it was powerful, is the most widely used software in home health care. The Director of DevOps, Brian Berger said of the visit, “I want to thank Velocity’s Kinnser teams, and Velocity’s Rosario office for the hospitality and initiative shown during our recent visit. I appreciated the opportunity to share challenges and successes directly with Kinnser’s teams and with other Velocity teams to better understand how we can partner to quickly build superior products with a higher degree of customer and employee satisfaction.”  He added that he looks forward to building upon the partnership.  
  
We invite all of our clients to visit our Latin American offices to forge stronger relationships with their teams as well as to see our operations up close.  Keep in mind that we build each team to specifications, including technical expertise and business domain. 

At Velocity Partners we expertly deliver nearshore (Western hemisphere) software development services using a distributed Agile model for outstanding planning, accurate delivery and optimal business value. Our team is comprised of top Agile experts, consultants, and engineers who believe in not only meeting but exceeding our customers’ expectations. For more information, please see our website.

Also total transparency and visibility is provided throughout the project, and work is done in incremental steps to expedite a flexible, rapid response to the intrinsic unpredictability of software development.  In addition since distributed Agile includes regular communications with everyone involved in the project, you will never be left out of the process.    
Moreover by VP operating nearshore delivery centers, it facilitates communication and collaboration with all parties as everyone is in compatible time zones.  To support virtual teams, our Latin American delivery centers are equipped with high-tech, state-of-the-art communication tools.
