Outsourcing helps solve lots of problems, but it also poses certain challenges. Working with a dedicated team from Ukraine can be the answer to these challenges — and here is why.
European companies are struggling to remain competitive. One of the best choices to secure a healthy bottom line is cutting down on in-house team wages. While the initial software product development might require quite a large team, its later support usually does not. Thus said, the time and money invested in building the in-house software development team will essentially be wasted — and this amounts to quite large sums. This is why IT outsourcing is so popular, as you get the formed teams that are composed of experienced professionals and are ready to start working on your project from day one.
Ukraine and Eastern Europe as a whole are the most popular destination for IT outsourcing nowadays, for a wide variety of reasons:
- Ukraine was named the best destination for developing cybersecurity solutions in a recent HackerRank challenge, and was amidst top 5 for Mathematics. Poland took the first place for Java apps, Hungary for Tutorials and the Czech Republic for Shell apps.
- There are more than 100 R&D centers of global companies in Ukraine. The industries include eCommerce, banking, gaming, manufacturing, travel, insurance, software development, home appliances, software, and high-tech products, while the brands listed are Boeing, Samsung Electronics, Microsoft, Apple, IBM, Magento, Skype, and Wargaming
- 18 positions out of 100 in the IAOP Global Outsourcing report of 2017 were taken by the companies from Ukraine. Many of these companies are also listed as leaders in their respective categories by Gartner, Bloomberg, Forbes, and other authoritative agencies
- Ukraine has the 4th largest IT talent pool in Ukraine with above 160,000 software developers, DevOps engineers, Big Data analysts, cloud infrastructure architects, Machine Learning specialists, and auxiliary professionals
- Ukraine is the world’s 5th largest exporter of IT services, according to the PWC report
- Ukrainian export of IT services grows at a steady pace of ~30% annually. It has increased by ~$1,1bn in 2017 totaling $3,7bn and maintains the pace in 2018
- Ukraine’s time zone is UTC+2, meaning most of the work hours overlap with the European customers and the US have their tasks done overnight
- Gartner lists Ukraine amidst top 30 offshoring destinations for around 5 last consecutive years, and the country steadily grows in the rating
