DDC Group adds nearshore outsourcing locations in Central America and South America

Global business process outsourcing and technology leader The DDC Group today announced it is adding Central America and South America to its worldwide footprint of strategic operating locations.

The company, with operations across Asia, Europe, and North America, will now also be delivering its standard of excellence nearshore for North American clients as well as providing a strategic location to global clients for whom a Latin American presence is beneficial.

For effective market entry, The DDC Group – which has produced teams and facilities across the Balkan region, the Philippines, and the United Kingdom – sought a partner with proven experience in the region with infrastructure to build upon. The company has partnered with Netcom BCC, an elite contact center service provider whose accreditations include ISO 18295-1 Customer Contact Centers, ISO 27001 Information Security Management System, Carbon Neutral certification, and Costa Rica Essential, among others.

"Netcom provides a well-established, technically advanced and highly secure foundation with an expert talent pool across Central America and South America," said Jan Trevalyan, Group CEO of The DDC Group. "This relationship will allow us to quickly deliver our proven processes and results for our growing number of clients from a nearshore location."

Founded in 1989, DDC's reputation is one of distinction for project planning, recruitment, training, operational processes, systems integrations, service level agreements, quality assurance, and business continuity.

"This partnership will add to our scalability and flexibility to handle our clients' dynamic and evolving needs," added Trevalyan. "We look forward to bringing our demonstrated, measurable improvements to our customers' operations through this new region."

According to Fernando Murillo, Netcom General Manager, Netcom is also delighted about this partnership. "With high standards and core values aligned with our own, we are excited to grow as a part of The DDC Group," said Murillo.

The DDC Group will manage, control, and maintain responsibility for the flexible and scalable services provided to their customers in the same way they have for 35 years. All project personnel will be trained by DDC standards and serve as part of the DDC team.

The extensive range of capabilities delivered by DDC's nearshore operation will be available in multiple languages, around-the-clock, and backed by DDC's business continuity pledge.

DDC's Latin America business unit will initially focus on the company's Customer Care suite of services. These include, but are not limited to:

• Scalable omnichannel offerings using voice, email, text, live chat, social media, messenger apps, chat bot, forms, and website modules
