Ucrania: un jugador anticipado en el mercado del Outsourcing del software del mundo

-->

La destrucción de la Unión Soviética hace aproximadamente 15 años, hecha un país enorme con un gran nivel de ELLA ciencia se dividió en ladrillos pequeños. Hoy en día, a pesar de la extensión de Rusia en el mercado del desarrollo del software del mundo, Ucrania guarda el desempeñar de un papel importante aquí también. Hay varios requisitos previos para esto.

Requisitos previos

Tradicionalmente, Ucrania era siempre una región técnica de la URSS. Ninguna maravilla, educación era y sigue siendo uno de la educación más popular y más respectiva de la región. Universidades ucranianas bien conocidas tales como la universidad técnica nacional de Kyiv, la universidad técnica nacional etc. de Donetsk. así como nuevos establecimientos con un acercamiento más innovador para ELLA la educación de los especialistas, tal como instituto del estado de Donetsk de la inteligencia artificial y de otras, educa una nueva generación anticipada de jóvenes ÉL los profesionales, ambicioso y útil.

Es obvio, los estudiantes ucranianos ganan en competencias internacionales, y demuestran profesionalismo y capacidad verdaderos de incorporar una vida de negocio inmediatamente, por lo tanto, para jugar el primer violín en el mercado de trabajo. Como el ejemplo más último, uno puede recordar a estudiantes de la universidad nacional de Kharkiv de la electrónica de radio que sintió bien a los primeros ganadores del lugar de la competencia internacional del desarrollo del Web (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.
