Outsource Software
Ukraine: ein zukünftiger Spieler auf dem Welt-Software-Outsourcing-Markt
Vor die Zerstörung der Sowjetunions ungefähr 15 Jahren, ein sehr großes Land mit einem großen Niveau von IHR Wissenschaft gebildet teilte sich in kleine Ziegelsteine. Heutzutage trotz der Expansion Rußlands in den Welt-Software-Entwicklung Markt, hält Ukraine, eine wichtige Rolle hier zu spielen auch. Es gibt einige Vorbedingungen für dieses.
Vorbedingungen
Traditionsgemäß war Ukraine immer eine technische Region der UDSSR. Kein Wunder, war ES Ausbildung und ist noch eins der populärsten und jeweiligsten Ausbildung in der Region. Solche weithin bekannte ukrainische Universitäten wie Kyiv nationale technische Universität, Donetsk nationale technische Universität etc. sowie neue Einrichtungen mit erfinderischerer Annäherung für SIE erziehen Fachmannausbildung, wie Donetsk Zustand-Institut der künstlichen Intelligenz und der anderer, ein neues zukünftiges Erzeugung der Junge ES Fachleute, ehrgeizig und zweckmäßig.
Es liegt auf der Hand, gewinnen ukrainische Kursteilnehmer in den internationalen Wettbewerben und zeigen zutreffenden Professionalismus und Fähigkeit, ein Geschäft Leben sofort zu erreichen folglich um die erste Geige im Arbeitsmarkt zu spielen. Als das neueste Beispiel kann man an Kursteilnehmer Kharkiv der nationalen Universität von Radioelektronik sich erinnern, die ersten Platzsiegern des internationalen Netz-Entwicklung Wettbewerbs stand (I.C.W.D.I.C. 2005) held by XITEX Software Company in spring 2005.
That is why governments of European countries encourage Ukrainian programmers to come and to work there. Germany is the best example of a country that understands all pros and cons of Ukrainian IT professional, thus it’s the country that sees its benefits of employing Ukrainian programmers.
Another one important factor is the cost of labor. In Ukraine, usual hourly rates for programmers are $10-$15. Although they are little bigger than Indian ones, they are still 1.5 times lesser than Russian ones and several times lesser than American or European costs. If you consider the high level of professionalism and responsibility, then you add a European mind and time zone, plus a fluent English of the most of IT people, you realize that Ukraine is that happy medium each company looks for. Hence, many companies that outsource have already realized it.
Ukraine’s Prospects
Due to the Market Visio’s research http://research.aventures.biz/eng/result.html, the volume of Ukrainian IT-services export in 2003 was estimated to be $70M, 40% more in comparison with 2002. The market prospects for 2005 were to be $150M; that is three times more in three years.
There are about 300 public companies that work for export. They are located mainly in big cities such as Kyiv, Donetsk, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk etc. There are also a huge amount of groups of professionals who are mainly engaged in export on a level of freelancers. The total number of IT specialists engaged in IT-export services was about 10,000 in 2003 and grew considerably during next years.
Everything mentioned above shows that Ukraine has great prospects to become and equal player to the most known leaders of the market. Its well-developed IT infrastructure, level of services, and professionalism of programmers made Ukrainian companies able to compete for complex and complicated projects with other well-known developers. There are several companies that invest in their own software solutions and market them internationally with success. However, all of them are engaged into smaller or bigger software development projects as subcontractors.
The next step of Ukrainian gait into the world IT market seems to be a wide establishment of offshore development centers based on currently existing software development companies. Prerequisites are obvious:
1. Ukrainian IT companies have whole infrastructure required to develop reliable custom application and deliver it in time.
2. The gross yearly expenditure per one programmer will vary from $20,000 to $30,000.
3. Ukraine’s time zone is GMT +02:00. Hence, all programmers and project managers will be available on daytime for any European company.
The only thing remains to be done, though. Ukrainian IT companies are making only their first steps in self-promotion. The more professional they become in this field, the more obvious it would be that Ukraine becomes a competitive player on the world software outsourcing market.
