Case Study: Progress achieves a seamless Costa Rica M&A transition with Pebl Velocity Global

How we helped Progress successfully onboard 32 employees in Costa Rica in four weeks

Progress Software needed to expand its presence in Costa Rica after acquiring the ShareFile business unit, but it did not have a legal entity in the country. With 32 existing team members to retain and additional hiring needs under a tight integration timeline, the company needed a compliant way to employ talent quickly and efficiently.

Pebl Velocity Global provided its Employer of Record (EOR) service to create the legal framework for hiring and managing employees in Costa Rica. Pebl handled local compliance details, documentation, benefits, payroll, and policies, enabling Progress to onboard 58 employees in just four weeks, including 20 new hires, while improving operational continuity and employee confidence during the transition.
