Information Technology Outlook for 2011
Business News Americas, Nov 2010, Pages: 16
Latin America is definitely finding its rhythm in the world of IT, but there are still a number of hurdles to face. The penetration of internet access, especially at access speeds that allow the user to experience the web at a click of the finger, is still far below an acceptable level. Even less can say they own a computer. There is still a heavy reliance on imported hardware and only a fraction of software licenses bring earnings back to local companies. Education still remains a hurdle, as does attaining a higher level of spoken English for IT professionals.
After the economic collapse of 2008, the dust started to settle in 2009 and the economy started to show a bit of progress this year. 2011 will continue this trend, maybe not at the same pace but enough so to give the region a touch of stability.
There is also a picture of two different development paces, as there are several countries that are no longer struggling with basic communications and technology infrastructure. Such is the case in places like Brazil and Chile, while growth in countries like Peru and Colombia hits a new stride as the foundation for greater technology adoption takes place.
This report looks at some of the driving factors that will mold and shape the landscape of the technology industry in Latin America in 2011.
