Leading EU and non-EU companies have been choosing Spain as a base for their software factories, European SSCs and excellence/innovation centres for many years.

Spain has provided competitive labour costs and highly qualified professionals to build industrial facilities and to manage operations, shared services, R&D centres and software development centres as shown below.

More than 11,000 foreign companies already located in Spain, taking advantage of Spain’s benefits.

GLOBAL ORGANIZATIONS:

1- Having Productive Factories in Spain:

2- Having Significant Operations in Spain:

3- Having Shared Services, R+D centers and SW Development Factories:

Thanks to these advantages, specialized centres have been set up by both local and global consulting firms since early 1990s. These centres were initially focused by technology (Abap, Java, Net, etc)however in recent years they are also focusing on industry expertise and funtional scope. The centres are serving large European Pharma, Insurance, Telco and Aeorspace companies.

As off-shore pure plays begun to enter the market these centres focused heavily on industrialization and asset-building in order to remain competitive. Most of them now count on estabilished partnerships with off-shore centres,maintaining the value-added activities in the near shore model using the Spanish centres and moving more industrialized and standardized work to locations in Latin America, India, Philippines and China.

Thus new advantages have been added to the traditional ones:

• Qualifed ITC professionals. The highest ratio of technology graduates to population in Europe.
• Recognized leadership in industries as Banking, Telecommunications, Utilities, Transportation, etc
• Significant labour cost savings compared with Western Europe.
• Spain has one the most impressive figures in the world for CMMI appaisals.
