What U.S. companies tell us after trying other routes. ### A vendor who works while you sleep With the team on the other side of the world, every question takes a day to answer and every bug is found the next morning. A small change turns into a week. ### Freelancers who don’t own the whole Each person builds their piece and nobody answers for the complete system: go-live, hosting and whatever breaks afterwards are left hanging. ### A local agency that doesn’t fit the budget The agency in your city understands the business, but its quote forces you to cut the scope until the project no longer solves the problem. ### Deliveries nobody can maintain The project is handed over without documentation or clear access, and every change depends on the original vendor still being around. Why Colombia ## Why nearshore software development in Colombia? Nearshoring means working with a team in a nearby country instead of one across the world. For a U.S. company, Colombia is one of the closest options in Latin America by time zone. - **The same hours as your office:** Bogotá is on UTC−5 all year, with no daylight saving time — Eastern Standard Time in winter and Central Daylight Time in summer. - **Real-time collaboration:** meetings, reviews and decisions happen during your workday, not in emails that cross overnight. - **Close enough to meet in person:** there are direct flights between Bogotá and several U.S. cities, so a kickoff workshop or a key delivery can happen face to face. - **One accountable partner:** development, go-live, hosting and support by the same team, with no splitting responsibility across vendors. How to choose ## How to choose a nearshore software development partner Before signing with any nearshore vendor — including us — check five things: - **Live projects you can open:** websites and platforms in production, with the client’s name, not loose screenshots. - **Real working hours:** how many hours of your day overlap with the team’s, and who answers when something breaks. - **A diagnosis before a price:** anyone who quotes without understanding your process is guessing. - **What happens after delivery:** who is responsible for maintenance, updates and bugs. - **How your data is protected:** where the system lives, who has access and which obligations of your state or industry apply. Our [portfolio](https://mtechnology.co/en/portfolio) is open: each case study says what we built and for whom. Contracting and payment ## How to hire us and how to pay The practical part, before the first call: - **In English:** our team works in English: meetings, documentation and support. - **In U.S. dollars:** we invoice in USD from MTechnology S.A.S., and every payment is invoiced. - **Paying from the U.S.:** ACH or wire transfer to our U.S. account, Wise or PayPal. - **Confidentiality:** we sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) before seeing your company’s sensitive information. All payment methods are listed on our [payments page](https://mtechnology.co/en/payments). From Bogotá to the United States ## A team on Americas hours, not across the world Bogotá is a short flight from Miami, New York or Houston, and works Americas business hours. From here we run platforms for companies in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Oceania. ![World map with MTechnology's 11 offices and markets](https://mtechnology.co/mapa-global.svg?v=3) United States Canada Mexico Dominican Rep. Bolivia Venezuela Ecuador Spain China Australia - Bogotá · HQ - United States - Canada - Mexico - Dominican Rep. - Bolivia - Venezuela - Ecuador - Spain - China - Australia What we do ## What we build for U.S. companies Complete projects, from diagnosis to operations, with the same team. 01 ### Custom software Systems that replace manual processes and connect to your company’s tools, including [systems integration](https://mtechnology.co/en/services/custom-software/systems-integration) with your ERP. More in [custom software](https://mtechnology.co/en/services/custom-software). 02 ### Applied artificial intelligence Automation and AI on one specific process in your operation, starting with one that can be measured. More in [artificial intelligence](https://mtechnology.co/en/services/artificial-intelligence). 03 ### Websites and ecommerce Corporate websites and online stores with card payments, built to be found on Google. More in [web development](https://mtechnology.co/en/services/web-development) and [online stores](https://mtechnology.co/en/services/ecommerce). 04 ### E-learning platforms Courses, enrollment and certificates for training teams, on Moodle or custom-built. More in [e-learning platforms](https://mtechnology.co/en/services/e-learning-platforms). 05 ### Cloud and managed operations Managed hosting, backups and support so that what we build keeps running. More in [hosting and cloud](https://mtechnology.co/en/services/hosting-and-cloud) and [IT support](https://mtechnology.co/en/services/it-support). Integrations ## What systems does our work connect to? The ones we have already used in live projects. If your company uses another, we review it in the diagnosis before promising anything. ### Payments Card payments we have connected in a real ticketing site. - Stripe ### Ecommerce - WooCommerce - Shopify ### CRM and analytics - HubSpot - Kommo - Google Analytics - Google Tag Manager ### ERP Odoo integration is first-hand experience; other ERPs are reviewed case by case. - Odoo ### E-learning A platform we host: our hosting is set up for Moodle. - Moodle We have no commercial partnership with any of these platforms: we name them because they are the ones used in the projects we built. Regulations ## Data protection: decided before we build The United States has no single personal data law: obligations depend on the state and the industry. California, for example, has the CCPA, expanded by the CPRA, and health data handled by providers, insurers and their vendors falls under HIPAA. Your legal team defines what applies to your system, and we design it so you can comply. When part of the processing happens in Colombia, Law 1581 of 2012 — Colombia’s personal data protection law — also applies. Where the data is hosted and who can access it is decided in the diagnosis. This section is descriptive; it is not legal advice. Compliance decisions are made by your company’s legal team. How we work ## How does a nearshore project with us start? - 01 ### 30-minute diagnosis, free of charge By video call, during your hours. We learn what you want to solve and what you have today. - 02 ### Written proposal Scope, deliveries, timeline and price, before we start. - 03 ### Build in increments Regular reviews during your workday: you see working progress, not a progress report. - 04 ### Go-live With your team trained and access in your company’s name. - 05 ### Operations and support Hosting, maintenance and support by the same team that built it. Projects for the U.S. ## Projects for U.S. audiences Two live projects that reach people in the United States. Each case study tells what we built. The Mavo Group ### An English-language site for a Miami production company We redesigned and built the complete website of The Mavo Group, a Miami video production company: fourteen pages in English, video in every section served from its own domain, two brands on one domain and a reel the client edits without touching code. [See the project : The Mavo Group](https://mtechnology.co/en/portfolio/mavo-group) Congreso de Líderes ### Technology for a leadership event across the Americas For the Congreso de Líderes, which brings together executives from Latin America and the United States, we set up the IT infrastructure and online ticketing, with virtual access and card payments through Stripe. [See the project : Congreso de Líderes](https://mtechnology.co/en/portfolio/congreso-de-lideres) MAVO’s video productions are their own; the case study shows the website we built. The full [portfolio](/portafolio) includes projects in other countries, and our headquarters are in [Colombia](/colombia). [See the full portfolio](https://mtechnology.co/en/portfolio).

Yes. Meetings, documentation and support can all be in English. ### How do you invoice and how do we pay? We invoice in U.S. dollars (USD) from MTechnology S.A.S. You can pay by ACH or wire to our U.S. account, via Wise or PayPal, and we sign an NDA if you need one. Details on our [payments page](https://mtechnology.co/en/payments). ### What time zone does the team work in? Bogotá time, UTC−5, all year round — Colombia does not use daylight saving time. In winter that matches the U.S. East Coast (EST) and in summer, U.S. Central time (CDT). ### How do meetings work? By video call, during your workday. When the project calls for it, the kickoff or a key delivery can happen in person: Bogotá is a short flight from several U.S. cities. ### How does a project start? With a free 30-minute diagnosis by video call. Then we send a written proposal with scope, timeline and price, before any work begins. You can [book it here](https://mtechnology.co/en/contact). ### What happens after delivery? You can stay with us for hosting, maintenance and support, with the same team that built the system. Nobody tells you the problem belongs to “the other vendor.” ### How do you handle data protection? We design the system so your company can meet the obligations of its state and industry, which your legal team defines. If part of the processing happens in Colombia, Law 1581 of 2012 also applies. Where the data is hosted is decided in the diagnosis. ### Where is the company located? Our headquarters are in Bogotá, Colombia, and we have projects in 11 countries, including the United States. The address is on the [contact](https://mtechnology.co/en/contact) page, and more about our home base on [MTechnology in Colombia](https://mtechnology.co/en/colombia). ## Looking for a software team close to your hours?
