Velocity Partners

Velocity Partners is a nearshore software development company founded in 2004 as a spinoff of an Agile training firm, based in Latin America with executive leadership in the U.S. The company builds custom software and web applications using distributed Agile and Scrum methodologies. Unlike offshore providers in Eastern hemispheres, Velocity Partners operates in the Western hemisphere, positioning itself for closer timezone alignment and communication with North American clients. The company maintains delivery centers across Latin America and emphasizes employee retention above industry average, which translates to team continuity on long-running projects.

Services and capabilities

Velocity Partners' core offering revolves around distributed Agile development. Teams are assembled to spec—combining technical expertise with business domain knowledge—and participate in daily standups with clients, plus sprint planning, demos, and retrospectives conducted in voice/video virtual rooms. The company provides staff augmentation (extending existing teams or adding capacity), custom software development, web application development, and testing services. All work flows through their Agile framework, though they adapt to client preferences when needed.

They position themselves as specialists for SFMC (Salesforce Marketing Cloud) solutions and call out specific vertical expertise in Oil & Gas software development and work with digital agencies. The source mentions they serve companies "of all sizes," but provides no breakdown of typical customer scale or project budgets.

How they work

Velocity Partners uses daily Scrum standups, sprint cycles, code reviews, and process reviews. They emphasize transparency and visibility on project status. The company encourages clients to visit delivery centers in person. Executive team members based in the U.S. are described as frequent visitors to Latin American operations. Pricing and typical engagement length are not disclosed in the source material. The source does not mention fixed-price vs. time-and-materials pricing models or minimum engagement periods.

Team and credentials

The source does not disclose total team size, headcount by location, or specific founding team names. It states the company was "established in 2004" and emerged from an Agile training firm. No ISO, SOC 2, GDPR, or other compliance certifications are mentioned. No partner status with AWS, Microsoft, Google, or Salesforce is claimed (though SFMC partnership is named). No Clutch, G2, or third-party rating data appears in the source. The source notes employee retention is "above the industry average" but provides no specific figure. The company mentions "U.S.-caliber staff" and references strong Latin American education producing talent meeting "rigorous hiring standards."

A significant development: the source includes a merger announcement stating "Endava and Velocity Partners announce merger to become a truly global IT player," indicating that as of the time this page was live, Velocity Partners was merging with Endava, a global technology company with offices across North America, Western Europe, Central Europe, and Latin America. The effective date of this merger is not provided in the source material.
