IMAX: Building a World-Class Development Hub in Brazil
THE CHALLENGE
IMAX needed to scale for next-gen digital experiences. North American hiring was slow and costly, while working with agencies in limited long-term scalability and access to top senior talent. Rising global competition further drove salaries higher, delaying product roadmaps.
THE SOLUTION
Built a dedicated development hub in São Paulo, giving IMAX immediate access to Brazil’s senior talent, seamless integration with their global workflows to maintain delivery standards, and complete knowledge transfer to ensure independence and full ownership.
THE RESULTS
300%
From 5 to 15 developers in 4 months
98%
Maintained quality throughout scaling
100%
Complete team ownership achieved
6-Month
Team operating autonomously
- Gradual responsibility transfer with safety nets
- Comprehensive documentation throughout engagement
- Internal team training integrated from month one
- Quality standards maintained during entire transition
- Post-transfer advisory support ensuring independence
- Recognized for pioneering a LatAm expansion strategy
- Demonstrated 40% faster time-to-market by leveraging Brazil’s senior talent pool
- Team retention rate of 95% post-transfer
- Client referrals increased 60% due to enhanced delivery capability
“This engagement gave us the long-term scalability we lacked with outsourcing. Our São Paulo team is now central to IMAX’s innovation strategy, working hand-in-hand with our global teams while operating at a fraction of North American costs.”
