Easier collaboration
As the number of remote teams steadily increases, there is a greater importance placed on real-time collaboration and being within the same time zone. Latin American time zones mirror those of North America. While Tekton headquarters are in Silicon Valley, Peru — where one of Tekton’s international teams is located — follows Central or Eastern Standard Time year-round. This enables teams between the two continents to work on tasks simultaneously, maximizing daytime hours without delay. Furthermore, it’s critical to note that highly skilled engineers and developers graduate from the top universities in Latin America – including Perú, Mexico and Colombia. Studies aside, they’re also fluent in Western business cultures as well as English, which brings us to our next point.
