  • CEE IT Outsourcing Review 2010
    Introduction ‘Central and Eastern Europe IT Outsourcing Review’ is a research project undertaken annually by the Central and Eastern European Outsourcing Association (CEEOA, www.ceeoa.org) since 2007. The main objectives of the research are to provide impartial and varied perspectives on the state of the market for IT outsourcing services in the CEE region; to provide potential clients with all the information needed to make decisions about outsourcing activities to the region; and to lower the barriers for entry into the CEE outsourcing services market. This year’s ‘CEE IT Outsourcing Review 2010’ was managed by the Ukrainian Hi-Tech Initiative (www.hi- tech.org.ua) with the support of other national outsourcing and software development associations from the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region, as well as CEEOA members. As part of the project a catalogue of IT outsourcing services providers in Central and Eastern Europe (ITOlist), located at www.itolist.eu, was created. The primary objective of the ITOlist.eu catalogue is to create an easy to search permanent, annually updated, regional catalogue of companies providing IT outsourcing services in the CEE region. Currently, the ITOlist.eu catalogue contains information on more than 200 companies. Visitors to the site can search companies on the list by four criteria, as well as by more than 250 technical and business categories in the advanced search field. Key Conclusions In 2009, the software development and IT outsourcing services provider industry in Central and Eastern Europe successfully overcame all of the challenges of the recession of 2008 and resumed its previous trajectory of growth.
