well-educated, bilingual talent pool and a good business climate in Costa Rica.
All of these factors are advantageous to our global growth."

The center is located in the America Free Trade Zone Center in Heredria, Costa
Rica. The planned 400-seat facility is approximately 37,000 square feet and
situated near San Jose, in the city of Heredia. Seasoned Latin American

existing client base," continued Jones. "We are in discussions with several
existing clients interested in expanding their programs into the new space."
