Our History

Auxis was born when a group of PepsiCo colleagues, after leading a major transformation project in Latin America, recognized that mid-sized companies needed access to the same high-quality consulting services that were typically reserved for large enterprises.

Over nearly three decades, Auxis developed a flexible, customized delivery model that eventually attracted large corporations as well — those looking for an alternative to the traditional consulting approach.

One of their biggest milestones was becoming pioneers in nearshore outsourcing. In 2010, they launched a delivery center in Costa Rica, leveraging the geographic proximity, shared language, and time zone alignment with their clients. A second center followed in Colombia in 2021.

Over the years, they expanded their services to include technology, finance, human resources, automation, digital transformation, and more, while also building key partnerships with companies like UiPath, Oracle NetSuite, and Microsoft.

Their mission has always remained the same: helping clients achieve peak performance through flexibility, innovation, and optimization. Their clients’ success is their own success.
