  • 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.
