Brazilian companies take on Gartner's IT Channel Vision Summit
May 8th, 2006
ORLANDO, FL - Brazil-IT, a group of Brazilian technology information companies dedicated to growing market share in the United States, is participating for the first time in Gartner's IT Channel Vision Summit. During the three-day event -- that takes place in Orlando, Florida, from May 7th to 10th - leading software developers and service providers from Brazil will present their products and solutions to American System Builders, VARs, Enterprise Solution Providers and Home Integrators.
Hundreds of CIOs and decision-makers will attend IT Channel Vision in search of solutions for specific problems of their clients, service providers that aggregate value to their present services portfolio, outsourcing, in addition to box products and technological breakthroughs. Solutions to be highlighted by Brazil-IT at the event include complex systems integration, legacy transformation and migration, content management and more.
"Brazilian IT vendors are ready and eager to supply the American market demand. We offer cheap, creative and high qualified labor force; we have been a pioneer in software development for a broad array of industry sectors; and, best of all, we are only a nine-hour flight from the U.S.," says Renata Sanches, project manager at the Brazilian export agency APEX, which works with the IT sector in Brazil to raise awareness of the opportunities in IT exports as an engine for sector growth.
Since 2004, Brazil-IT -- supported by Apex, the Trade and Investment Promotion Agency - participates in Gartner's events in the U.S. with the objective of promoting the country as the next stop for American corporations interested in outsourcing software development and services providers abroad. The presence of Brazilian companies in IT trade shows in the US has been increasing year after year. In 2006, Brazil IT will be present as an exhibitor and will present success cases in four events: IT Channel Vision, Gartner Outsourcing Summit, Midsize Enterprise Summit West and Gartner Symposium/Itxpo.
During Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2005, Brazil-IT members -- which include industry associations from major IT clusters in the country such as Campinas and Pernambuco -- closed US$ 30 million in deals. This year, the group is raising the bar in order raise sales as well as awareness about Brazil IT as a center of excellence for IT outsourcing.
