I live and work in Latin America (specifically Ecuador), and I have found this model works only when you make the process almost imperceptible to the final client.

This is an achievable goal, because Ecuador is in the same time zone (CST) and it’s just one call or one flight away from the US majors cities.

A key to success is to have reliable partners in both sides: A company the client can rely on in the States (if you want to make the process transparent to the client), and a reliable outsource company in Latin America.

I have a lot of experience working under this model. If you need some advice please email me.

I believe that by far the pros outweigh the cons. To me the important factors that Latin America has to offer includes, a highly developed telecoms infrastructure, a well educated, English speaking population, a close proximity to the US and similar time zones.

The population is well educated, especially in Buenos Aires, there is plenty of creative talent and low incomes, is what attracts so many offshore companies here. I read this article, http://www.creative-outsourcing.com/outsourcing-of-creative-work-is-to-argentina-what-outsourcing-of-programming-is-to-india-and-outsour.html which outlines some of the finer points of why Argentina is ideal for outsourcing creative work.

I have recently moved to Buenos Aires, along with huge numbers of people from all over the world. Whatever the draw card is for people, they do all have one thing in commmon, they are all looking for work when they arrive. There is a massive expat community living in BsAs and of course many of them looking for work. I thought I would be teaching English, until I arrived and noticed how many jobs there were in outsourcing companies, that pay really well but Argentinian standards. There is definitely the English speaking population here that would be ideal for these outsourcing companies. Dutch company http://www.5ca.com has taken it even further and provides services in English, SPanish, German, French, Russian and more.
