Both organization cultures will merge effortlessly and working with Nicolás Jodal's innovative and brilliant staff will be a dream come true.

The completion of the contract is contingent on regulatory approvals and other normal closing terms.

GeneXus was established with over 150 professionals in 1988 in Uruguay and now has a customer portfolio that comprises well-known organizations like Mitsubishi Electric, Honda, Ita, TV Azteca, Pan American Energy, and more, in major industries including Retail, Financial Services, as well as Manufacturing & Industrial.
