Украина: предполагаемый игрок на рынке Outsourcing средства программирования мира

-->

Разрушение советского союза около 15 лет тому назад, сделанное огромной страной с большим уровнем ЕГО науку разделило в малые кирпичи. Nowadays, несмотря на расширение России в рынок развития средства программирования мира, Украина держит сыграть важную роль здесь слишком. Будут несколько предпосылок для этого.

Предпосылки

Традиционно, Украина всегда была технически зоной СССР. Никакой интерес, ОНО образование было и все еще одним из самого популярного и соответственно образования в зоне. Такие well-known украинские университеты как университет Kyiv национальный технически, cEtc университета Donetsk национальное технически. также, как новые установки с более новаторским подходом для ЕГО образование специалистов, such as институт положения Donetsk искусственного интеллекта и других, дает образование новому предполагаемому поколению детенышей ОНО профессионалы, честолюбиво и целево.

Оно очевидно, украинские студенты выигрывают в международных состязаниях, и показывают поистине профессионализм и способность вписать жизнь дела немедленно, следовательно, для того чтобы сыграть первый fiddle в рынке труда. Как самый последний пример, можно вспомнить студентов университета Kharkiv национального Radio электроники который пошел первыми winners места международного состязания развития стержня (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.
