乌克兰： 一个预期球员在世界软件采购市场上
苏联的破坏大约15年前，做一个巨大的国家与一个了不起的水平的它科学划分了成小砖。 现今，尽管俄国的扩展到世界软件开发市场里，乌克兰继续这里扮演一个重要角色也是。 有几个前提对于此。
前提
传统上，乌克兰总是苏联的一个技术区域。 难怪，它教育是和仍然是一个最普遍和最各自的教育在这个区域。 这样知名的乌克兰大学象Kyiv全国技术大学， Donetsk全国技术大学等。 并且新的创立以更加创新的方法为它专家教育，例如Donetsk人工智能和其他状态学院，教育年轻人的一个新的预期世代它专家，雄心勃勃和有目的。
它是显然的，乌克兰学生在国际比赛在劳动力市场上赢取，并且显示真实的职业化和能力立刻进入企业生命力，因此，演奏第一无意识而不停地拨弄。 作为最新的例子，你可能记住无线电电子的Kharkiv全国大学的学生适合国际网发展比赛(I.C.W.D.I.C.的冠军的优胜者。 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.
