Many foreign multinationals have set up operations in Costa Rica over the past few years. As recently as last week, global medical devices firm Getinge Group built a shared services center in San Jose. "Looking at the advancing IT infrastructure in the country, the depth of knowledge workers and significant growth opportunities, we thought we should establish a service center in Costa Rica," said Scott Thompson, vice president of Support Citrix. Citrix serves Latin America from its regional headquarters in Florida.
