If we could define 2021 in one word, it would be growth. For us, it was a challenging time, but throughout the year wonderful things happened within our organization. Check out a few of them:
1. Our Team Grew So Much

• With the addition of NUITEC, we further expanded our services for clients in LATAM.
• Because of this, our physical spaces had to be bigger, during the year, we opened 3 new offices in Bogota, Miami, and Uberlandia.
• We embraced healthy activities, active breaks, yoga, salsa, and Zumba classes.
2. We Had A Big Connectivity Growth

4. It Was A Wonderful Opportunity To Speak And Attend Events

• The women’s soccer team Siro Training from Colombia, got to go to a soccer championship in Peru with our sponsorship.
One of our main goals is to give the best internet connection to every end-user in LATAM, and during 2021 we fought hard to continue with that dream. But we also had tons of fun in the process.
