During the past year, Eastern European countries such as Ukraine became a popular destination for the off-shoring of software development projects, so much so that the unescapable law of supply and demand kicked back in full swing. And because these countries are so much smaller than India, its effects were felt stronger, faster. Down the road, it seems that off-shoring is a dynamic process rather than a singular event, for which target destinations keep changing as local markets mature. Next steps? Latin America, Northern Africa, and China of course.

I hope this helps. Dev,

I would try to explain how your company can:

- Provide low turnover of the employee base;
- Reduce communication overhead between onshore and offshore teams;
- Adapt its processes to the ISV’s development processes;
- Provide more flexibility in terms of resource allocation over time;
- Bring more to the table than just lower prices.

I hope this helps.

I was intrigued with this post about your development partner -- we have had very similar success stories. We help ISVs turn their 2 page vision document into a finished product. I have a total of 20 customers today, 2 of them in the United States. I will be coming out to California for a couple of months starting end of June to grow my customer base. I was wondering if you could help me with the following question: All ISVs seem to have tried offshoring/outsourcing for their software development. What advice would you give an entrepreneur like me trying to get new customers for the same type of services? We have our core competencies and areas of differentiation, but I wanted your thoughts on what kind of a reaction I would encounter when trying to penetrate the ISV market. Thanks! Hi Ismael,

The movie tells the story of a young Jewish American man returning to Ukraine to find the woman who saved his grandfather during World War II. I do quite a bit of work with Ukraine but never got a chance to visit myself. The superb countryside landscapes shown in the movie made me want to fix that rather sooner than later.
