MexicoIT honored with the “Outsourcing Marketing Excellence” Award at the Midsize Enterprise Summit 2008

MEXICO CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MexicoIT was honored with the “Outsourcing Marketing Excellence” Award at the Midsize Enterprise Summit 2008 for successfully promoting the Mexican IT industry and helping it to effectively penetrate the US IT market. The recognition was awarded by United Business Media (UBM) and Gartner Research analysts at the event recently held in Dallas, Texas.

"This award reflects our commitment to the IT industry in Mexico and demonstrates that MexicoIT is achieving its goal of positioning Mexico as the ideal destination for service outsourcing and IT investments by US companies,” said Rogelio Garza, General Director of the National Chamber of Electronics, Telecommunications, and Information Technologies (Canieti) and head of Mexico IT. “This award is an achievement shared by the entire MexicoIT family - its companies and member states, industrial chambers, associations, and the Federal Government through Prosoft. It urges us to continue driving this campaign towards new frontiers,” he concluded.

Rogelio Garza received the award from Nancy Hammervick, UBM’s Executive Vice-President. The organization recognized the efforts of Canieti, which are supported by the Ministry of Economy through the Software Industry Development Program (Prosoft). Top executives from MexicoIT and representatives from IT firms in Mexico also attended the event.

The award is a result of MexicoIT’s ability to effectively create awareness of the unique characteristics that make Mexico the preferred destination for the contracting of outsourcing services by US companies. These include the strong support by the Federal Government to the country’s IT industry’s growth, in addition to Mexico’s location, proximity, culture, and time zones, which are compatible with the United States. The organization will also take part in the Gartner SymposiumITXPO 2008, in Orlando, Florida October 12-17 to discuss more of the benefits of near-shoring with Mexico.
