Differentiators
In-house Human Resource Recruitment.
Apart from hiring our own programmers and developers, Truelogic has its own human resources services department that finds and couples qualified IT professionals with companies such as Accenture Latam in order to expand their global development centers. The Truelogic HR services department has over 3,000 up-to-date resum�s in their candidate database, which translates into two significant advantages:
- Quick and constant access to top IT talent in order to provide flexible and agile responses to your project development and team building needs.
- In-depth knowledge and understanding of the Argentine workforce through in-house resource screening and testing procedures.
Customer-Centric Business Model
From the first step to the last, our constant goal is to put the customer�s needs, queries, and requests first. Our customer-prioritizing model manifests itself in our attention to the client�s project or resource requisites; It shows in our making sure that the client has all the information he/she needs to understand our process; It shows in our consistently rapid responses to questions; It shows in our flexibility and ability to conform to changes in project requirements, languages, technologies or other client needs.
Flexible Company Structure
As we grow in number and in experiences, one important fundamental that continues to be reinforced is the need to remain flexible as a company. This means that we stay away from rigid hierarchical structure so that our process doesn�t get slowed down by any unnecessary bureaucracy and delay. Moreover, we want to keep the channels of communication unblocked and open between our employees and managers. At the same time, we firmly enforce quality and professionalism through reliable standards and proven processes. The outcome of such a balance is a smooth and efficient development process culminating with exceptionally professional results.
Our developers belong to a team where hierarchy is not the glue that holds the team together. What makes our teams function is each member�s experience, knowledge, and most importantly, communication. Whether a client contracts 1 or 10 resources, they always have a clear idea of project status and most importantly, of the big picture. The client can always get a hold of the point person on our end to get project updates or to communicate requirements. It is mandatory that all of our PMs speak fluent English and that he/she bring to the team at least 10 years of cumulative software development experience.
Methodology
Our work is defined by exceptional understanding, analysis and performance. We have adopted an Agile methodology that promotes development iterations, open collaboration, and adaptability throughout the life-cycle of the project. This methodology assures the quality of our work as well as the success in its implementation:
Each iteration passes through a full software development cycle, including planning, requirements analysis, design, writing unit tests, then coding until the unit tests pass and a working product is finally demonstrated to stakeholders through documentation . An iteration may not add enough functionality to warrant releasing the product to the market, but the goal is to have an available release (without bugs) at the end of each iteration. At the end of each iteration, stakeholders re-evaluate project priorities with the objective of optimizing their return on investment.
All the iterations are managed by a Project Manager who also handles the master plan, a document that contains the 'core' description and general schedule of the project.
Truelogic Technology
We understand that each project and each client is unique with their own specific requirements; and based on our knowledge and experience, we select the most suitable technology for the software solution you are looking for.
We bring with us experience from the most prominent market platforms (Microsoft, UNIX / LINUX, IBM and Sun). We work with different programming languages, protocols and technologies, all of which result in an exceptional product, always exceeding customer expectations.

Why Argentina
Known for its sultry tango, European-style streets and caf�s, and gigantic beef steaks, Argentina bustles with cosmopolitan life and attracts over 3 million visitors annually. Besides attracting fashionistas and wine connoisseurs, Buenos Aires has seen a lot of movement and change due to the arrival of multinational companies establishing their regional hubs and offices in the city. Global giants with the likes of Google and MCI have set up shop in Buenos Aires for reasons that the rest of the world are catching on to very fast.
Quality Education
Argentina has a literacy rate of 97.2% and has the most developed educational system of South America. Students from all over the globe flock to Buenos Aires to attend their world-class universities. The University of Buenos Aires, one of the top learning institutions in South America, has produced five Nobel Prize winners and provides taxpayer-funded education to over 30,000 students annually. There are over 90 universities with specializations in information technology and among them, the top technology academic institutions of South America. Cordoba and Buenos Aires, Argentina�s two biggest cities, jointly have 23 universities counting with 870.000 students, of which 170,000 study Business Administration and 50,000 Informatics.
The accessibility of quality education translates into a high availability of qualified and highly skilled professionals. In the United Nations Human Development Report 2004, Argentina was No. 1 among Latin American countries for research scientists and engineers
Excellent IT Infrastructure
Argentina is among the top 30 countries with most widespread Broadband Access (DSL lines, cable modems) in the world. In the early 1990�s, Argentina encouraged the growth of modern telecommunications technology by providing tax breaks for developing IT companies. In addition, the Argentine government increased installations of lines in all major cities; major networks were converted to be entirely digital. Growth of mobile telephone density has soared and has reached a level of 80 telephones per 100 persons in 2006. (CIA, the World Factbook). And according to the United Nations Human Development Report 2004, Argentina ranks first among Latin American countries in number of Internet users per capita.
Geographical Location (Convenient Time Zone)
Buenos Aires is one hour ahead of Eastern Standard Time (EST-USA), 4-5 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time (PST-USA), and 3 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT-UK). When speed of response and deadlines become an issue in projects, working with people in a similar time zone becomes a crucial component to a smooth and effective work process.
Inexpensive Development Costs
After the devaluation of the Argentine peso in 2001, salaries decreased to 25% below those of Europe and the United States . Low rent, electricity and telecommunications costs make Buenos Aires one of the most inexpensive capitals of the world.
Exceptional English Communication Capabilities
The English language has a very strong presence in Buenos Aires. Argentines are extremely motivated to learn English starting at a very young age (elementary school) because of the increase in demand of English speaking professionals at international companies. Moreover, European and North American influences are marked in Argentine culture as a result of media and other cultural influences.
Cultural Similarities
Much like the United States, Argentina was largely populated by Western European immigrants. In a line of work where communication and understanding are so important, Argentines are ideal collaborators for North Americans and Europeans because they share communication styles as well as cultural values.
