Due to Internet cut off and lack of mobile communication, most IT companies are unable to work and fulfill their obligations to customers and partners, which results in financial and goodwill losses. Some companies were forced to leave Belarus for an indefinite period and relocate their teams to neighboring countries. Ukraine became one of them. We express our full support to the colleagues and have prepared a short guide in which we try to give answers to the most common questions about the relocation. Belarus-Ukraine: Guide to relocation of IT specialists Key cities for IT-relocation in Ukraine: features and differences, salaries and living standards There are about 185 thousand IT specialists in Ukraine. The key cities-centers of the IT industry are located in Kyiv, Lviv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, and Odesa. Below we will describe the main features of life in each of them. Kyiv The bulk of IT service companies is located in Kyiv due to the favorable geographical position and developed infrastructure. The most common business areas in which Kyiv lT companies operate: telecommunications, finance, e-commerce, travel, healthcare, IoT, online games, big data, machine learning, blockchain, and enterprise software. It is in the capital of Ukraine that more than 23 thousand IT specialists live, which is more than 41% of all Ukrainian developers. The major brands such as Samsung, Salaries of Kyiv city specialists Siemens, and Huawei also conduct their research here. according to Idapgroup.com: ЕРАМ, Wargaming, Oracle, Snap, Ubisoft, Netcracker, Terrasoft, and many others also have offices in Kyiv. $700 Junior-level programmer The Kyiv city developer is a 25-30 year old man (76%) with a $2000 Middle higher education and fluent knowledge of English. $3800 Senior 4 Key cities for IT-relocation in Ukraine: features and differences, salaries and living standards Belarus-Ukraine: Guide to relocation of IT specialists Lviv Lviv is the second largest IT center in Ukraine. Average monthly salaries of local More than 20 thousand IT specialist and 317 software engineers according to IT companies people work here. It is not only Idapgroup.com: a highly developed technological center, but also a popular tourist city both in Ukraine and $570Junior-level programmer in Europe. $1750 Middle The largest software development companies $3000 Senior with offices in Lviv that are well-known in the global IT scene: SoftServe, ЕРАМ, Global Logic, ELEKS, Ciklum and N-iX. Kharkiv Kharkiv is the second most populous city after the capital of Ukraine, and, naturally, it ranks second in the software development scene in the country. 14% of Ukrainian IT talents live in Kharkiv. For TOP companies developing software, having an office in Kharkiv is a common practice. The outsourcing giants such as ЕРАМ, GlobalLogic, NIX Solutions, and Ciklum also have offices here According to the DOU.ua data, average salaries of Kharkiv programmers are as follows: $700 for a junior specialist $1800 for a middle specialist $3500 for a senior specialist 5 Key cities for IT-relocation in Ukraine: features and differences, salaries and living standards Belarus-Ukraine: Guide to relocation of IT specialists Dnipro Dnipro is the fourth most populous city in Ukraine, as well as Average salaries are as follows: the fourth in the list of Ukrainian technology centers. The city is located in the Eastern part of Ukraine and has more than a $750 for a junior software million citizens, 12 thousand of whom are specialists in software developer development. Despite the fact that this number is less than $1700 for a middle specialist the volume of the IT labour force in the first three cities, Dnipro provides many great advantages for entrepreneurs. $2750 for a top-level engineer First of all, the software development companies of Dnipro have a high-level qualification. Due to the smaller amount of human resources, the professional environment of Dnipro is not as much competitive as, for example, in Kyiv or Kharkiv. At the same time, Dnipro has all the advantages of large cities, i.e. a comfortable infrastructure and a decent standard of living. This is one of the key reasons why experienced software developers decided to settle in Dnipro and build their career here. There are about 170 IT companies in Dnipro. It is dominated by small companies with 50-100 employees, however, some IT outsourcing giants have their offices in Dnipro, including DataArt, Luxoft, SoftServe, and Daxx. Dnipro is well-known in the country (and even abroad) for its technical contributions to finance, banking, healthcare and automotive industry. Java, NET, C ++, Oracle, JavaScript are among the most widespread technologies in Dnipro. 6 Key cities for IT-relocation in Ukraine: features and differences, salaries and living standards Belarus-Ukraine: Guide to relocation of IT specialists IT communities and clusters IT Ukraine Association The largest association of service and product IT companies in Ukraine, which collectively generates about 50% of the IT industry export revenue in Ukraine and brings together 27% of Ukrainian IT specialists.

Most IT companies prefer the capital to other cities, so the vacancy rate of the business center at the beginning of 2020 was only 7% (according to Сolliers data) However, the situation has changed somewhat at the moment — the impact of the pandemic, the transition to remote work and the introduction of new business centers have significantly increased this indicator. In the second quarter of 2020 alone, 69,100 square meters were commissioned and the vacancy rate was 12.2% (CBRE data). Naturally, this led to a decrease in the lease rate by about 7% since the beginning of the year (the prime rate is $25/sq. m/month). In the regions, the situation is less dynamic. This is largely due to the lack of new facilities that are being put into operation. There is a stock of office space in Kharkiv (249,000 sq. m), Lviv (259,000 sq. m), Dnipro (190,000 sq. m) and Odessa (188,000 sq. m), which greatly narrows the choice. There are two available options for an office: fully equipped coworking spaces, or your own office in a business center. 9 What you should know about leasing an office space Belarus-Ukraine: Guide to relocation of IT specialists Coworking space Advantages Disadvantages 1.

  • 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.

  • Exploring Global Frontiers, February 2009
    IT ADVISORY ExploringGlobalFrontiers TheNewEmergingDestinations ADVISORY Foreword Alan Buckle GlobalPartner-in-Charge,Advisory The current global financial crisis has been peppering conversations not only at many business meetings, but sometimes even at the family dinner table. While everyone has their own opinions and theories, realistically it is nearly impossible to predict what will happen. If anything, the so called “global financial crisis” drives home the fact that economies no longer exist in isolation. Governments are actively collaborating with industries and providing bailout packages in an attempt to minimize the fallout. On the other hand, businesses are doing what they see fit to be competitive during the economic downturn. Cost reduction is the new buzzword, and as advisors we are increasingly being asked questions on how enterprises can reduce costs without impacting efficiency and longer term growth prospects. In the short term, the race for business survival takes top priority. However, over the longer run, companies are likely to pursue rationalization measures. In the Information Technology (IT) - Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry, these measures are likely to focus the search for lower cost business alternatives globally, that could also allow companies to provide diversity to their global operations. Access to global opportunities is generally getting easier. Enterprises moving offshore not only benefit from lower costs and access to a diversified talent pool, but also have the added “first-mover” advantage if they tap relatively unexplored cities. They can also acquire various incentives such as government grants due to a heavier hand at the negotiation table as "first-movers". This publication aims to provide an overview of the options that are available for enterprises who would like to set up a shared services center, or outsourcing companies setting up operations in locations beyond their existing locations.
