With this partnership, Globant continues to expand its portfolio of clients, adding a global leader in communication solutions and services. Globant will be able to combine its expertise in engineering, creativity and innovation to continue furnishing the services formerly provided by Motorola Solutions' inhouse development team.

"We are really excited about this new venture and proud to have been selected by Motorola Solutions as their provider. We are truly thrilled to add this prestigious company to our client base and we look forward to working together and growing our relationship", explained Martin Migoya, Globant CEO & Co-founder. "I'd like to welcome the extremely talented group of former Motorola Solutions professionals that is joining our team; I'm sure that they will be key to help us achieve our goals. With our 8 studios, and our expertise in combining engineering, creativity and innovation with scale, we have no doubt that we will be able to provide excellent service and add value to Motorola Solutions."

As part of the transaction, Motorola Solutions' Development Center Operations in Cordoba, Argentina, and its professionals will be transferred to Globant. Globant will begin leading the development projects for Motorola Solutions previously conducted by the US-based company's Cordoba development center. This agreement will allow Motorola Solutions to access Globant's deep knowledge in the latest trends and technologies while also opening a broad portfolio of career opportunities within Globant for Motorola Solutions' former professionals located in Cordoba.

"In the year 2000, Motorola was the first international company that believed in Cordoba potential to open a Software Center in the province and, in this way, to help to develop a strong new industry. After the separation in two independent public companies at the beginning of 2011, Motorola Solutions started a global effort to sharpen our focus to the core products of our portfolio. For this reason, we are transferring our Cordoba operation to Globant, a world-class local company willing to help make this a relatively smooth transition for employees and customers. We are very proud to continue receiving the high and proven quality of software developments in Cordoba, with the excellence of our software engineers and the professionalism demonstrated by Globant", explained Pablo Orsei, Country Manager and President of Motorola Solutions Argentina.
