PSL - Productora de Software S.A. is the newest member (and first from Colombia) of the Accelerance Global Partner Network. A careful reference check confirmed that PSL has the skills and experience to capably deliver software development services.
All three client references were large or medium-sized companies in Latin America but replied back (in English) with convincing strong and positive stories about the services provided by PSL. Here’s what some of their references said about their software development experience with PSL:
“They are at the top of [the list of] qualified consultants and software factories with a clear understanding of what service is about.“
“PSL most definitely stood out from other software firms I have worked with before because of their transparency, discipline and control of the software process. Ultimately, it’s always about the people and the people at PSL were always willing to give the extra mile not only to do what we said, but to question what we said, to educate us in proper software development methods and even to suggest many ideas that had to do with the business process itself, as they got a hold of our business. It has been a pleasure to work with PSL. I highly recommend them.”
"I certainly recommend PSL as a first rate software developer"
PSL has over 200 programmers in Colombia and another 75 in their growing location in Mexico City. PSL is widely recognized as a software development leader in the Latin American market for their professional and technical skills and their ability to implement large software systems. Larger companies have had great success using PSL where other vendors came up short in implementing complex software. Typical engagement size is 10 to 20 engineers for a year or more of effort. About two-thirds of their client engagements are fixed-price projects with the other third being on-going software development with an engineering team dedicated to the client.
If you are in the U.S. it is hard to find a closer location to outsource your software. Colombia is close in distance and time zone with complete overlap with the U.S. workday. This is an advantage for developing software using Agile methods that require daily communication to quickly resolve questions and accommodate the inevitable changes to requirements. The political and social environment has improved dramatically and travel to Colombia is very safe.
