Consensus

Engineers drawn from Latin America are at the core of Consensus, a software and talent company. It says it combines strong talent with current technology to build high-performance teams and custom software. Its project managers work with each client to understand the business and put an actionable plan in front of it, because the company says every project is different and needs an approach fitted to it rather than a standard package.

Projects with a fixed scope, delivered in full

Consensus runs projects where the client sets the scope and the company's own team develops the solution through to delivery. It describes these as turnkey solutions, ranging from a minimum viable product that tests a business case to a full business system run by a team of experts. The company says its nearshore delivery pairs developers and designers with current tools, so that development, implementation and maintenance stay transparent to the client.

Engineers placed inside a client's team

The talent side of the business supplies engineers in several ways. The company can draw on its own resources or hire people to meet a temporary or long-term need within a client's team. It also works as a talent partner that helps a client attract, recruit and build its own in-house team, and it offers a managed team of dedicated people overseen by its project managers.

Data, AI and automation

Consensus lists data science and analytics, including data classification, along with work on neural networks and deep learning. It also offers a control tower for processes automated through robotic process automation, which it describes as a way of watching and managing those processes. Its quality assurance services cover quality control and automated testing.

Cloud, integration and DevOps

The company offers cloud consulting and cloud infrastructure work, including migrations and the services that go with them. Its engineers deploy services in an automated way using Agile methods and continuous integration and delivery pipelines, and it says it connects platforms such as GitLab, GitHub and Bitbucket. Its integration work covers APIs and enterprise service buses, and it says its developers start from a cloud-native view of the work, using the services of each customer's public cloud on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.

Talent from Latin America for clients in the US and UK

The company says the talent available across Latin America is strong, and that it is working to expand its nearshore delivery and its business in the United States and the United Kingdom. The site says a ranking body named the company a top cognitive computing company in 2022.
