Our history

We are 800+ people strategically located in Latin America, from where we provide services to clients around the world.

    

Hexacta has been in business since 1999. Our growth history shapes the way we do business today. We began with only four people in a small office in Argentina, with great expectations and the need to just deliver good results to get to the next day.

As entrepreneurs, we overcame the dot-com bubble crash and the Argentine economic crisis of 2001, which affected many local technology ventures. We learned to never give up on our dreams, despite the circumstances.

Year after year, Hexacta grew firmly and confidently, always maintaining a strong commitment to our society and the community. Our recipe was to keep learning every day with integrity, honesty, and dedication, values upon which we built lasting and sincere relationships with customers, governments, and institutions.

We are now 800+ people distributed in the US and several Latin American innovation hubs from where we provide services to many clients around the world.

Hexacta has no boundaries; we can adapt to different realities and rely on multi-disciplinary teams to work for industries as diverse as banking and finance, telecommunications and media, retail, and natural resources.

Our main asset is our people. We grew by transmitting experience, passion, and excellence in a flexible and inspiring atmosphere. In all these years, we have repeatedly achieved a top ten ranking in the Great Place to Work survey and received several distinctions that make us proud and fuel our ambitious teamwork.

We have kept the same spirit that set us apart in the beginning. We are always striving for excellence and innovation.
