Cost-effective - Although Ventus is less than an hour flight from Texas, its
location in Mexico affords access to top-notch engineering talent at wage rates
that are more than 30% less expensive than within the US.

Strong Concentration of World-Renown Universities - Monterrey boasts an
enviable collection of world-class universities. Among these is the TEC of
Monterrey (ITESM). This University produces large numbers of engineering
graduates and is recognized around the world as the top Latin American
institution.

|
 |
U.S. Business Culture - Monterrey has a rich industrial heritage and has
produced some of the leading corporations in the world. Among these are CEMEX,
the world's third larges cement manufacturer. Ventus was founded within this
environment and has US business culture in its DNA. |

Risk Mitigation - Thanks to more than a decade of accelerated globalization
after passage of NAFTA, Mexico now boasts one of the most stable economies in
the developing world. The country has also built a world-class communications
infrastructure. Employee turnover is incredibly low, mitigating a common risk
in other countries (e.g., India): resulting in workers unlawfully transferring
Intellectual Property (IP) to your competitors.
|

|
 |
Political Stability - Thanks to NAFTA and unparalleled political developments,
Mexico is one of the most politically stable countries in the developing world.
In an age of increasing unrest in the Middle East, it can be quite reassuring
to know that Ventus is located close to home.
|
| |
|
 |
Intellectual Property Laws - After NAFTA, Mexico has passed some strict laws
pertaining to the rights and protection of IP including trademarks, trade
secrets, patents, and copyrights.
|
| |
|
 |
Visa Laws - Many countries (e.g., India) must apply for a limited amount of
worker visas in order to send engineers to the US. Thanks to Mexico's access to
NAFTA visas, Ventus has very few limitations in sending engineers to and from
the US.
|
| |
|
 |
Same Time Zone - While large projects with well-defined specifications can be
shipped to offshore locations for development, most of today's software
development and testing projects require constant synchronization with client
engineers. Since Ventus engineers work in the Central Standard Time Zone, you
are assured that your engineers can reach their Ventus counterparts at those
critical moments.

Within a Hotbed of Hi-tech Investment - Mexico has a long history of technology
outsourcing in the electronics industry. What is less well-known is that Mexico
is one of the "Best kept secrets" in the software outsourcing industry. Not
only do companies such as IBM, Motorola and EDS manage world-class software
outsourcing facilities here, but Intel made its only Latin American acquisition
of technology company for one reason: the quality of that company's software
engineers.

Highly Desirable Work and Tourist Destination - Clients have occasion to visit
Ventus' software development facility in order to monitor project progress and
to strengthen the Ventus relationship. Instead of a long journey to unknown
territories, U.S. clients arrive within hours to a truly a pleasant and
desirable destination. Monterrey boasts a similar climate to Silicon Valley
with some unique attractions.
