Intellias has expertise in several industries including mobility, financial services, telecom and media, and retail, working with companies like HERE Technologies, HelloFresh, Rand McNally, TomTom and DKV.

“Having a well-developed tech ecosystem and technically skilled engineers, Colombia is one of the fastest-growing IT hubs in the LATAM region. Additionally, Colombia is the perfect location to set up the first delivery center in Latin America and work with our growing US client roster. By cooperating closely with Colombian IT experts, educational centers, and IT hubs, we plan to build a top-tier team of engineers who will join our efforts in digitalizing the world. We invite local developers to apply to join the Intellias team and grow with the company,” said Vitaly Sedler, CEO and co-founder of Intellias

Intellias claims to have been named the best IT employer by Forbes and EY in 2020 and 2021, and has also been named one of the most family-friendly companies in Ukraine by UNFPA. This, according to the company, is due to paying special attention to nurturing and supporting a human-to-human corporate culture. Team members can manage their careers, work remotely, master new skills, become mentors, join engineering communities, and even get insurance for their pets.

“Setting Colombia as a new global location is a big and strategic step for Intellias. We hope to get access to the world-renowned LATAM talent market, using Colombia as a key bridge, while also using Colombia’s close ties with North America to foster a strong partnership with our clients. We look forward to cooperating with Colombian specialists on top-notch engineering projects and creating outstanding digital solutions while enjoying the rich culture and diversity Colombia has to offer,” Camilo Riveros,  Intellias Employee Experience Manager for Colombia

Last year, Intellias reported 50% growth, opening new offices in Croatia, Bulgaria, Spain, Portugal, and Poland; and acquiring Digitally Inspired, a fast-growing UK-based development company focusing on retail and eCommerce industries. Intellias also has offices in Ukraine, working with the country’s engineers to launch initiatives to support the Ukrainian people during the country’s defense against Russian aggression. In 2023, the company plans to open even more locations in Colombia and India.

While the international push by Oracle’s NetSuite global business unit is primarily focused on adding data centers — which will grow from five to 11 across the world — it is also establishing 13 international field offices.

In addition to its new location in Colombia, Oracle’s push into Latin America will include new NetSuite field offices in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and Chile. Throughout the rest of the world, offices will also be launched in France, Germany, Sweden, Dubai, China, India, Malaysia, and New Zealand. On top of these expansions, the company says it will hire more employees in the field offices that are already operating.

“Leveraging Oracle’s global scale, we are able to massively accelerate NetSuite’s vision of bringing a single unified suite to companies all over the world,” said Jim McGeever, executive vice president of Oracle’s NetSuite global business unit. “Oracle’s technology infrastructure and global reach enable us to help ensure customer success no matter where they are located in the world.”

The Silicon Valley-based technology giant paid $9.3 billion USD to acquire NetSuite last year, formally completing the acquisition in November.

NetSuite — which competes with the likes of SalesForce and SAP and provides services including enterprise resource planning, human resources, and omnichannel commerce — is also planning to bring six new data centers online. The centers will be located in the United Sates (Chicago), Germany  (Frankfurt), Australia, Singapore, Japan, and China, according to Oracle.

The company says this will greatly expand the service’s reach and capability beyond the already-existing data centers used by NetSuite’s global business unit, which are currently limited to North America (where three centers are located) and Europe (where two centers reside in Amsterdam and Dublin).

“The addition of Oracle data centers to NetSuite’s operations will provide even greater security, redundancy, performance, and scalability for new and existing customers across the globe,” said the company in a statement.

To further support its international growth, Oracle NetSuite’s global business unit also plans to add several development centers to its roster. At least three will be added in India, China, and Japan.
