About

Visión Software is a leading Colombian technology company and has a compact but highly efficient legal department comprised of legal manager and compliance officer Juan Camilo Medina and legal counsel Andrés Felipe Navarrete Basto. Visión Software’s legal team has recently led and successfully negotiated three top-tier contracts. One was a licensing Microsoft software deal in 2017 with Grupo Aval, Colombia’s most influential bank, which generated US$64m and was the largest deal involving Microsoft in Colombia. Consequently, in 2019, this deal was prosperously expanded to encompass more licensing products. The second deal pertained to a 2018 licensing contract for the Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje (SENA), in virtue of which, the national operation of that public entity was sustained and, thus, generated a sizeable impact on the quality and accessibility of public education in Colombia. Consolidating Visión Software’s prime and widely recognised reputation as one of the biggest technology companies in Colombia, in 2019 the legal team closed a specialised service deal with A Toda Hora, one of the most significant banks in Colombia, to administrate and support A Toda Hora’s Microsoft platform. Medina highlights that ‘the legal team operates under an unwavering focus on excellence, efficiency and integrity on every task at hand. This ethos is developed through a personal commitment assumed by every member of the legal team to promote, preserve and nurture the excellence, efficiency and integrity of all tasks. Secondly, the guidelines by which all members of the legal team must act are strengthened through the means of teamwork, problem-solving mentality and open-minded debate’.
