Additionally, local special circumstances such as limited IT infrastructure and a growing startup ecosystem are contributing to the development of the market. Customer preferences in Central America are shifting towards cloud-based solutions due to their numerous benefits. SaaS offers businesses the flexibility to access software applications and data from anywhere, at any time, without the need for on-premises infrastructure.
