Making smart business decisions means finding partners worldwide that are adept at integrating their skillsets with your company. In Ukraine, there is little doubt that the best of both worlds is on offer — meaning both cutting-edge specialists and technology are available.
Here are some of the reasons Ukraine is seen as an excellent partner for outsourcing:
- Ukraine had 200,000 IT specialists as of 2020, and that figure is expected to grow by 23% through 2024.
- Worldwide, Ukraine is 7th on the list of top-twenty countries that contribute to Drupal (and we, as providers of Drupal development at Lemberg Solutions, are proud to be part of that contribution).
- Ukrainian specialists work with the world’s biggest corporations, providing R&D facilities for some of the top companies, from Boeing, Samsung, and Oracle, all the way to Amazon.
- Ukrainian specialists have an oversized footprint for their population, achieving near-parity on a number basis with the US in using PHP (7K in Ukraine vs. 9K in the US) and a far higher percentage of JavaScript (8K vs. 63K) and Python (3K vs. 10K) than would be expected on a per-capita basis.
Advantages in “Going Ukraine”
Ukraine is positioned well to offer advantages from several standpoints:
1. Location
Being part of Europe offers access to some of the most developed countries in the world, and even in the case of the USA, the time difference can often mean there is an overlap at the end of the US workday and when Ukraine’s workday begins. This allows a shift of feedback in North America to be transferred to the beginning of our starting time, offering efficiency in cooperative projects.
2. Cultural differences
Ukraine is a land where hard work and honesty are treasured in the workplace. Along with the similarities attached to a common European culture, Ukrainians work transparently and diligently.
3. Language differences
English is the language of tech, and fully 85% of Ukrainian tech specialists speak English at least an intermediate level. The simple truth is the English language is a crucial facet of Ukraine’s workplace, and partners can expect this fluency as a matter of course.
4. Education
Ukrainians in the IT sector are some of the best educated in the world. 83% of IT workers have a university degree, and 51% of software developers have STEM-related degrees. 9.8% of graduates are in Computer Science and STEM fields.
What it all means?
The gist of these facts is simple. Ukraine offers substantial advantages for collaboration, and Lemberg Solutions has a hard-earned roster of hundreds of clients – meaning we know how to integrate our expertise with the client, both on a live and remote basis.
