PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Smarsh®, the global leader in digital communications data and intelligence, today announced it has continued its global expansion with the opening of a Costa Rica office, its sixth Center of Excellence.

The new office, located in the prominent Ultra Park technology hub in Heredia, enables Smarsh to unlock access to local talent that will better support its global customers, including 19 of the top 20 global financial institutions. Selected for its highly skilled technology talent and proximity to other global companies like Amazon, Intel and Microsoft, the Costa Rica Center of Excellence is strategically important for the company to scale functions requiring advanced technical training.

Smarsh, which has offices in the U.S. as well as in EMEA and APAC, views Costa Rica as crucial to its operational execution and delivery due to:

Strong local talent with more than 45,000 technology specialists and engineers known for their innovation and high-quality work.
Time zone advantages that will help Smarsh's global support team provide around-the-clock service to its customers.
Spanish and Portuguese language expertise that will ensure Smarsh's global support team continues to offer on-location, multi-language customer service.

"The opening of our Costa Rica office is not just a testament to Smarsh's commitment to global expansion, but a pledge to our customers around the world," said Smarsh Chief Customer Officer Rohit Khanna.
