Q. Why GAP?

Tailored Solutions for Tangible Results: GAP collaborates with businesses of all sizes, tailoring digital strategies and products that align with emerging technologies, ensuring tangible outcomes. The organization focuses on the practical application of leading-edge technology to develop digital solutions, ultimately fostering growth, revenue, and impactful changes within organizations.

Driving Productivity Amid Challenges: Especially crucial in economic downturns, GAP places significant emphasis on creating productive and resilient teams. The organization's white paper delves into the best practices implemented within their teams and for each client, showcasing a commitment to sustained success even in challenging times.

Visionary Leadership and Nearshoring Pioneer: Founded in 2007 by CEO Joyce Durst, GAP operates as a values-driven organization dedicated to fostering long-term success for individuals, companies, and communities. A trailblazer in the nearshoring model, GAP provides strategic technology solutions from locations close to the U.S., ensuring both geographical and cultural proximity.

Agile, Transparent, and Customer-Focused Teams: GAP boasts agile and transparent engineering teams, accountable and dedicated to customer success. With one of the highest client satisfaction scores in the industry, the organization fully integrates into client organizations, providing continuous delivery with uncompromising, transparent communication.

Differentiators: What Sets GAP Apart

2NABOX Delivery Model: GAP introduces a unique project management approach, the "2NABOX" delivery model. This involves two specialized resources working collaboratively toward a singular objective. A LatAm-based Delivery Manager oversees the engineering process, while a U.S.-based Client Executive manages contract administration, budget planning, and technology portfolio management. This duo, known as "two leaders in a box," ensures accountability for project success.

Design-Build Capability: Setting itself apart, GAP offers full-cycle software development, encompassing technical architecture and solution implementation. While most consulting firms provide design schemes without a clear path to realization, and outsourcing firms offer engineering teams but lack a big picture understanding, GAP excels in both. The organization's design-build methodology ensures a comprehensive approach, guiding clients from concept to execution.

Diversity with Purpose: As a certified woman-owned business, GAP deliberately builds a diverse and inclusive organization. Focused on creating an environment that embraces culture, promotes women, and encourages multi-generational collaboration, GAP sees diversity as a catalyst for innovation, organizational agility, and resilience to disruption.

Americas Delivery Model by GAP

Companies today face dual challenges in the realm of software delivery: the increasing demand for high-quality, scalable delivery and the economic reality of the escalating availability, cost, and necessity for continuity in U.S. software engineering. Striking the right balance is crucial.  Leaning too far offshore can lead to the "high cost of low cost," where apparent savings on paper translate into a rapid decline in delivery quality due to time zone differences and cultural dissonance.

GAP's Hybrid Nearshore Model: GAP's nearshore development model emerges as a strategic solution, addressing both quality and cost concerns. Positioned at the crossroads of quality and affordability, this model leverages top-tier talent in countries close to the U.S., ensuring timely, professional, and strategic services at a more economical price point than local U.S. hiring. The hybrid approach offers a vastly superior experience and enhanced quality compared to offshore models.

Integrated Nearshore and Onshore Approach: GAP's integrated nearshore and onshore business model facilitates access to exceptional engineering talent in Latin America, effectively meeting critical business needs. From meticulous planning to impeccable execution, GAP's software and data professionals embrace an agile, tenacious approach, delivering solutions precisely tailored to client specifications.

Clear Cube Communication: Customers engaging with GAP experience true transparency and unhindered access to the team through "clear cube communication." This communication approach ensures ease of interaction in fluent English at every level. Clients can seamlessly engage with individuals who share common values related to innovation, process improvement, and outcome-focused approaches.

Personalized Connection: GAP goes beyond virtual interactions, inviting customers to visit and meet their teams in person. This personal connection emphasizes the commitment to a client-centric approach, allowing customers to witness firsthand the distinctive experience offered by GAP's Americas Delivery Model.

The Valiant Leader Upfront

GAP was co-founded in 2007 by CEO Joyce Durst, who has over 30 years of experience in the technology industry. The company's rapid growth and its technical excellence are attributed to Joyce's vision for prioritizing people, and creating more opportunities for women and other under-represented communities in technology. Over the last year, Joyce has led GAP to achieve new company milestones and successfully steered the company through the pandemic without loss of jobs or revenue.

Joyce is a sought-after speaker on leadership and women in business, and is active with the Women Presidents Organization and Special Olympics. She mentors women CEOs and first-time entrepreneurs, and has won several prestigious industry awards, including the Executive Leadership award from the Greater Austin Chamber; Profiles in Power award from the Austin Business Journal, and Stevie Award for Achievement in Developing and Promoting Women.

“Our steady growth and long-term success are a result of the purposefully diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment we strive to create every day. GAP invests in people, fostering breakthroughs and innovation through a wealth of perspectives.”
