SAP Partners doing remote business in Latin America

As we make our way to the end of 2020, join our next session on scenarios used by SAP Partners to adjust to the current market. Partners had to reduce their operation size to become more agile, while they pivoted to access revenue in other markets.

Remote Selling enabled niche Partners to start selling into regions that were not targeted before, like Latin America. Mexico was one of the countries that benefited from foreign Partners that have expertise not available in the region.

Also, SAP Partners targeted the LATAM subsidiaries of their global customers, to implement additional functionally or to continue the Rollout of a Solution.

Those that have Sales Offices in North America, used Mexico when building their PreSales and Delivery team for the region, as it is the preferred Nearshore option and can leverage the updated USMCA Trade Agreement for Visas and other benefits.

AGENDA

  • LATAM Rollouts, setup of a delivery and local support team. Temporary or permanent options.
  • Accessing customers in Mexico & LATAM Remotely: Which SAP Solutions and Industries matter.
  • Mexico as the springboard to USA (Top Trading Partner) and LATAM.
  • Cost structure and Framework to setup Temporary or Permanent Operations in Mexico. Comparisons of current options.
  • Hiring contractors & employees in Mexico. Most used Nearshore Roles and Labor laws to follow. Benefits and the right use of USMCA visas.
  • Use Cases / Customer stories

Comparing the BOT Model vs the As-a-Service Framework

For years, tech companies expanding offshore that were looking for the advisory of a local expert, favored the Build‑Operate‑Transfer (BOT) model to launch Global Capability Centers (GCCs) or Shared Services Centers. The specialized vendor built the operation from scratch—dedicated infrastructure, a new legal entity, admin staff hiring, policies—then stabilized it and transferred it to the client after a set term. Because the vendor assumes execution risk, BOT pricing typically includes a margin on top of the total operation (a % uplift).

Financial Analysis of Starting Operations in Mexico: Cost, Risk, and Time-to-Value

For North American B2B tech companies, expanding into Mexico offers both cost savings and access to top talent—but the approach matters. A DIY setup can be slow, risky, and expensive, while the Subsidiary-as-a-Service (SUBaaS) model delivers speed, compliance, and significant savings. By paying only for what they use, companies can reduce operational costs by up to 70%, avoid legal and compliance pitfalls, and launch in weeks instead of months. SUBaaS makes nearshore operations scalable, capex-friendly, and investor-approved—helping businesses stay lean and competitive in a volatile global economy.
