Software Outsourcing To Ukraine
Ukraine
The Ukraine provides highly educated and capable development engineers best suited for complex software development. With rates typically between those of India and Russia, outsourced developers from the Ukraine are a good value. Political instability in the region is an important concern.
Members of the Accelerance Global Partner Network (GPN) from the Ukraine have been thoroughly screened and vetted. References have been carefully checked as well as proficiency in spoken and written English. The GPN member has agreed to strict intellectual property protection requirements. You can be confident when working with an Accelerance Partner.
Working with outsourcers in Ukraine – Pluses
The Ukraine, with a 99.5% literacy rate and with 87% of high school graduates going on to higher education, provides a large pool of highly educated people to work with. The traditional focus on education has been well maintained since the Soviet Union breakup. This educated talent pool provides not only engineers, but also workers in the support areas – from customer support to QA testers.
The Ukraine has a deep legacy in defense and high technology, giving it a great supply of first-rate engineers familiar with complex software development. Interest in software outsourcing in Ukraine has been increasing since the country began democratic reforms in recent months.
You will likely be able to find a Ukrainian programming team that has mastered the particular software technology you need. Anyone with sophisticated software that will benefit from collaborating with a well-educated programming team should seriously consider the Ukraine. Software applications requiring scientific knowledge are particularly well suited, as are projects for embedded systems or those using languages like C and C++.
Working with outsourcers in Ukraine - Minuses
In the past, political turmoil and instability in the region has been a problem when considering Ukrainian outsourcing resources. Recent changes in government have removed the most serious concerns for outsourcing to the Ukraine. However, you may prefer a country with a more established history of intellectual property protection and enforcement.
Software used to automate business processes or more mundane data processing tasks will not make use of the advanced skills of most Ukrainian programming teams and could be tackled with a level of enthusiasm below what you need.
