Integrated Outsource Partners
November 16, 2009 Leave a Comment
Open Mountain software projects succeed because of our tight integration with our primary development partner Avantica in Costa Rica. This connection sets us apart from most other outsource providers. After all, who can provide a local contact with significant career experience in the US and also deep experience with cost effective resources in another country? You need two partners who spend the time and effort to remain tightly integrated.
How do you know for sure we are as integrated as we say? Have a look at the photos below from some recent trips with us going to Costa Rica and our partner coming here. Open Mountain and Avantica work well together because we make the effort to become familiar with each other. We know the teams in Costa Rica and nearly everyone in the Avantica has been on one or more of our projects.

Avantica and Open Mountain enjoyed wine over lunch with this view of the vineyards.
After you look these over, you’ll have to tell us who visits the better location. I do like my Costa Rican beaches and Imperial beer. But how about the Golden Gate Bridge and wineries of Napa? It’s a tough call that I am glad that I don’t have to make.
Thanks to all the travelers who donated images for this post! – Cheers.
