Just like any other text-book start-up story, a nearshore development company, UruIT commenced its maiden voyage from a humble garage located in Montevideo, Uruguay, and incorporated in Los Angeles, California. UruIT helps its clients with building new products, scaling their existing software, and/or migrating to the latest technology. Since 2007, it has created web & mobile solutions for various innovative US companies.
Within few months, UruIT started providing services to Microsoft. Since then until today, the clients’ list only got bigger! And the best part is, UruIT kept growing bigger and bigger at a commendable rate and never felt the need of any external funding. Nowadays, the organization consists of more than 80 employees working from Uruguay and Colombia. Also, the company has delivered over 150 software development projects in the last 11 years. According to the UruIT, its top secret was to hire top tech talents only, which in return helped them to offer higher quality standards.
Currently, when it comes to developing a new product, modernizing an existing app, or ramping up a development team, UruIT has got the needed experience and capabilities to fulfill its clients’ expectations. The organization acts like a near-shore partner for project definition, application design, and technical development for its clients.
Assisting Clients
UruIT helps its clients, mainly small and medium businesses from the USA, to leverage an existing app or launch a new one. Depending on their goal, UruIT can assist them in translating their user’s needs, making their software smarter with Machine Learning, or supporting them to accomplish their software project on time with success. Thanks to the near shore partnership UruIT proposes, its clients can now develop their teams and business through a cost-effective, high quality service.
