<\/p>\nIndustries of all kinds can benefit from outsourcing, particularly when it comes to software development. From outsourcing major projects to minor functions, you\u2019ll increase efficiency, reduce operational costs, and enable in-house staff to focus on more important tasks. But the big question is this: Should you outsource to a software development team based in your own country or further afield?<\/p>\n
Nearshoring has become increasingly popular, with Poland as the top IT nearshoring destination in Europe. But while nearshoring offers numerous benefits, many companies lack the in-house knowledge and expertise to plan and execute a successful project. That\u2019s why Intellias offers nearshore services in Poland and is ready to help you every step of the way.<\/p>\n
Nearshoring, also known as nearshore outsourcing, is basically subcontracting work to vendors in neighboring or nearby countries. Onshoring involves outsourcing in your own country, while offshoring is outsourcing to countries farther away.<\/p>\n
Nearshore software development lets companies augment their existing structure by outsourcing crucial aspects of software development to experts in nearby countries. As these outsourcing companies are often in the same time zone, it allows for greater communication and ease of access to partners.<\/p>\n
Companies based in the UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland often choose to outsource to Poland. Not only does Poland offer great expertise; it also shares the same time zone (CET) or differs by only one hour, while travel is relatively quick and cheap for in-person meetings.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Another reason why Poland is a popular choice for nearshoring is the strength of its IT industry. Featuring a quarter of the population of software developers in Central and Eastern Europe, Poland has one of the biggest IT talent pools in the region. The total number of developers and IT specialists in the country is estimated to be over 500,000, while the number of custom software development companies is over 1,000. Unsurprisingly, the vast majority are located in Warsaw, Krak\u00f3w, and Wroc\u0142aw; however, Katowice, \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Pozna\u0144, and the Tri-City area are also well-known hubs.<\/p>\n
Developers and technology professionals in Poland are renowned for their knowledge, experience, and technical expertise. IT skills particularly common in Poland include Java, JavaScript, Python, .NET, C#, C++, PHP, and cloud tech (including AWS, Azure, GCP, and DevOps).<\/p>\n
IT outsourcing revenue in Eastern Europe has a CAGR of around 18%, and the market is forecast to reach 5.94 billion dollars by 2027<\/a>. Poland, Ukraine, and Romania are the current leaders of nearshore software development trend.<\/p>\n There are many benefits of choosing Poland for nearshoring IT services:<\/p>\n Dynamics of Polish ICT (Information and Communication Technology) Exports and Value Added<\/b> Source: Future of IT Report,2022, Emerging Europe, Ltd<\/em><\/p>\n Saving money is one of the key benefits of nearshoring services in Poland. Software developers’ average rates are notably lower<\/a> in Poland than in many other countries.<\/p>\n For example, the average junior frontend developer in Poland makes around $20,000 a year compared to $35,000 in the UK, while the average senior frontend developer makes around $37,000 annually in Poland compared to $78,000 in the UK. For backend developers, the average yearly salaries are $24,000 in Poland and $29,000 in the UK at the junior level and $58,000 and $75,000 respectively at the senior level.<\/p>\n Hiring a nearshoring team in Poland can therefore be much more cost-effective than onshoring a development team<\/p>\n Outsourcing to any location comes with challenges. Common problems faced when nearshoring to Poland include:<\/p>\n The IT outsourcing market in Poland is substantial, and many global firms participate. Companies hiring IT teams in (and outsourcing to) Poland include Google, Microsoft, IBM, Intel, Amazon, Accenture, and Cisco. Many companies establish research and development hubs in Poland.<\/p>\n While nearshoring IT services has many benefits, it\u2019s tricky to do successfully without help.
