A Leader providing Innovative and Compelling Solutions in the Silicon Valley

Colin Powell had once said, “A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.” Indeed, it is the hard work and talent which speaks out when you have utter determination of achieving the desired goal. Roger Viera is one such personality who harbored a vision for ‘Pounce Consulting Inc.’, the innovative high technology company that he acquired in 2005.

Headquartered at San Diego, California, USA, Pounce was founded in 2001 by three California entrepreneurs as a technology staffing, consulting, and headhunting firm. When Roger joined the company, he noticed that several of Pounce’s talented California-based engineers were Mexican. He therefore advocated for and oversaw a move from an offshore model in South Asia to a near shore model in Guadalajara, “Mexico’s Silicon Valley,” to compete more directly with US firms. After three years with the firm, it became clear to Roger that he cherished a vision for Pounce Consulting that outstripped the more modest ambitions of the company’s founders. In 2005, he bought the company in a management buyout.

As a Mexican technology firm, Pounce Consulting was born as a software company. Along the years, it decided to invest in new technologies, processes and talent to make it a global company. The company created new products in Software and Hardware for global clients.  On the whole, it developed, transformed, and integrated projects and platforms. Since its beginnings, Pounce has been looking forward to grow and evolve constantly in order to be the main partner of its clients through the integrated business model that it developed and implemented with success.

Pounce Embedded Systems helps clients to design, prototype, and test products that combine hardware and software, such as electronic kiosks and medical infusion pumps. Pounce Electronics manufactures and assembles products designed by Embedded Systems or brought to Pounce by the client. Started on embedded systems and manufacturing, the revamped company built a manufacturing facility and in August 2008 closed its first sale with Pisa Pharmaceutical to design and manufacture embedded systems for medical equipments. The company’s offering of an integral cycle of services that allows transforming ideas into finished products through custom solutions, is what makes it different for others in the domain. Today, the company has many patterns, which includes patterns on medical devices, electronic devices, wearable’ and many more. Pounce has three divisions: the first one is the ‘Software Division’ which is the core division. The second division is ‘Design Hardware & Manufacture’ products and the third one is ‘Fabrication & Manufacture’ plans.

In their endeavor to deliver the best to their prospective clients, the company offers varied services to its clients such as Firmware, Layout, Industrial Design, Research, Prototype, Electronic Design, Certification, Project Management, Software, Quality & Testing, ERP Services and Mobile App.
