2022 has been one year to remember. And at BairesDev, we are excited to celebrate our milestones and achievements, as well as look ahead to our 14th anniversary as a major software outsourcing company — a company comprised of “The Ones.”
This year, we have grown, learned, improved, gained partners, and achieved success together. We have also overcome challenges. We ranked no. 1 in growth in the software outsourcing industry for yet another year. We also earned more than 10 1st-place awards in various tech niches, including the Brandon Hall Group’s Technology Excellence Award and the Best in Business Award — Business Services category.
What else happened at BairesDev in 2022? Let’s take a closer look.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Diversity is a core value at BairesDev, and we’re always looking for new ways to celebrate the backgrounds and talents of our team members. We’re also committed to supporting initiatives and programs that improve diversity.
This year, we launched the 6th and 7th editions of our biannual Giveback Program. Through this initiative, we make donations to nonprofit organizations that support underrepresented minorities in the technology industry, and we invite our clients to engage with us and the program by choosing the causes we support. More than 1,500 individuals benefitted from our donations through the mid-year 2022 edition of the program alone.
And our efforts did not go unnoticed: the Program was recognized in the 20th edition of the 2022 American Business Awards granted by Stevie Awards, earning the Bronze in Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year.
Another goal of BairesDev is to promote gender diversity in the tech industry. This year, we released Women in Tech 2022: A BairesDev Report, which shows a 400% increase in female applicants in this sector over the past six years. Of course, we know the gender gap is an ongoing issue in our industry, and we are continuing to shed light on the importance of increasing gender representation in technology. Statista has published many of our findings, making them more widely available.
Because BairesDev operates entirely remotely, we are able to recruit talent from all over the world. This year alone, once again, we received nearly 2 million applications to join our rapidly growing team.
We are proud to be a diverse community with professionals in more than 40 countries. In 2022, we were delighted to welcome new team members from 11 countries that were previously unrepresented at our company: Bangladesh, Barbados, Belize, Bulgaria, Denmark, Dominica, France, St. Lucia, Suriname, Sweden, and United Arab Emirates.
Growth, Evolution, and Innovation
For one more year, we were proud to land a spot on the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing companies in America.
Along with taking on more than 100 projects per month, we are also tapping into new niches. For the first time, we worked on a project with the space manufacturing industry, machinery manufacturing, and farming, along with additional new industries — representing just a handful of the 109 industries we worked with in 2022. We also leveraged 137 technologies in total throughout the year, including six new technologies, such as Azure, Character Animator, and Drupal 8.x.
Our talent keeps us thriving, and we continue to celebrate them every day. Through the We Are the Ones campaign, we have shared stories of the many individuals who drive BairesDev with their passion and unique qualities. These are the ones who make us proud to be a part of this amazing community — and who are gaining recognition for their hard work!
Stay Tuned for 2023!
At BairesDev, we are the ones who continue to strive to improve and exceed our clients’ expectations. We are eager to see what 2023 has in store as we grow, partner with new and existing teams, and continue to transform lives through technology.
