Softtek’s journey has been incredible. The 30-year venture for Latin America’s largest IT Services company tells a compelling story of entrepreneurship, innovation, determination, vision, and growth.
Softtek, founded in 1982 by Gerardo López, started as a small IT services company that developed customized software and managed IT infrastructure for Mexican companies. Today, the company has over 8,000 associates spread across ten global delivery centers.
Despite this remarkable feat, in the decade ahead, Softtek stands at a crossroad. To continue on its growth trajectory - to motivate and realize the potential of its diverse group of associates - to succeed in a rapidly changing IT-services industry - to influence the global industry in which it operates – Softtek will continue to evolve and innovate.
Hence, Innoventures.
Innoventures drives innovation to deliver on the power of each idea born within Softtek. It is a deliberate and rigorous program that is aimed to motivate each associate to make an impact by seeking the potential of an idea.
To foster an environment that ignites cutting edge thinking, Innoventures offers a co-working virtual environment to bring together Softtek’s community. The first intended strategy is forming an alliance with the community and instilling the motivation and dedication to innovate – to think outside the scope of titles or roles and believe in entrepreneurship.
Innoventures will stimulate learning through an educational series of webinars, case studies, workshops, and study material. Topics will cover a broad range of subjects from technology and product design to business planning and writing.
The partnership with associates extends to launching ideas through the Innoventures’ platform. Here, associates develop and execute on their ideas through direct investment, teams, and mentorship.
The essence of Innoventures is cultivating and defining a partnership between Softtek’s strategic visions with those of the company’s associates. To foster an environment that supports growth of the larger organization, while fueling the potential of every associate member within Softtek, requires a dedicated structure and effort.
