When my company Vision TRE, Inc. first started outsourcing IT services in Brazil a US dollar could purchase about 3 Brazilian Reals, today a US dollar only buys about 1.9 Reals which increases my cost 50%. This included staffing cost, equipment cost, software cost, and travel expenses. Click Here - OzForex FX Charts  |
