Việt Nam’s FPT Software, a global IT solutions provider, announced the official opening of its 72nd office globally in Guadalajara, Mexico early this week.

This strategic move responds to the increasing demand for Agile software engineering solutions in the Americas while enhancing the company’s services with better responsiveness and recruiting more local talent. The new office marks a significant milestone for FPT Software in reinforcing its commitment to global expansion and client-centricity.

This expansion also heralds the innovative "Best-Shore" Model, a blend of onshore, nearshore, and offshore service delivery. This approach places customers at the forefront, ensuring the optimal mix of proximity and cost-effectiveness.

Guadalajara, known as the "Silicon Valley of Latin America," has emerged as a prominent technology hub, attracting global companies seeking to capitalise on its skilled workforce and conducive business environment. It has a similar time zone to many American cities, making Guadalajara an ideal location for establishing software development centres for the US market, and providing seamless communication and support for clients across regions.

"Guadalajara is a vibrant and innovative city, and its strategic location allows us to efficiently serve our clients in the Americas while tapping into the rich pool of local tech talents," said Dang Tran Phuong, FPT Americas’ Chief Executive Officer.

By 2025, FPT Software plans to grow its team in Guadalajara to 500 people, collaborating closely with other offices in India, the Philippines, Costa Rica, Colombia and so on to develop and deliver complete IT services and solutions to a growing number of clients. — VNS
