Every company with a formal offshore program management office is considering diversification. Some are worried about the attrition and rising wages in India, while others are simply looking to mitigate risk by adding new locations. Mexico represents an excellent nearshore alternative for US companies that are looking for diversification or that can't or don't want to use an offshore vendor. While the Mexican software and services export market is not as mature or as large as the Indian market, there are significant benefits that can be gained by using an IT services firm in Mexico, especially as the industry there continues to mature.
