Why Brazil

QAT’s Brazil offshore development center is located in Uberaba, MG, Brazil. The time-zone is nearly the same as the US, which greatly reduces the challenges typically associated with offshore communications.

QA Technologies began its relationship with Brazil in 1998. Since that time, QAT has developed the best practices, techniques and tools to support offshore – onshore collaboration.

In selecting the location for its offshore development center, QAT took into consideration the challenges time zone differences between western business centers and many of the major offshore development sites in India and China presented. In these locations, there are few hours in the day when project participants can be found in both offices, which is always counter productive and difficult to manage. With both the USA and Brazil being in the same time zone, these challenges are virtually eliminated.
