Yosif Humala, general manager of the Peruvian Association of Software Producers affirmed that even though the world was experiencing and economic crisis, an important window of opportunity had opened.

He explained that more Peruvian software producers would have a chance to work with U.S. companies that were looking to reduce costs by outsourcing.

Aside from this, there is the free trade deal with the United States, which will open more markets to Peruvians, Humala told Gestion business daily.

Furthermore, he congratulated Peru's government for fostering the growth and establishment of Peruvian software companies in the country's southern regions.

It was reported that over $18 million worth of software products were shipped to the U.S. in 2008 and that Peruvian software companies made $180 million in global sales.

Experts have predicted both these figures will increase 15 percent in 2009.
