Education

Thanks to the educational model with an equal interest in humanities and natural science, CIS engineers are well-known for their spacious mind and unconventional approach to problem-solving.

At least 80% of Ukrainian specialists hold a bachelor’s degree. Over 80% of them are under the age of 30. That Y-generation is literally obsessed with technical innovations and implement all novelties.

Work Approach

This is one of the biggest risks that a company takes with outsourcing. The insurance of copyright is the main goal. Unlike Chinese law, the Ukrainian legislation system guarantees copyright and has regulatory systems in place that enforce all NDA commitments.

Efficiency

It can be proved by many successful results and implementations. A good example is Grammarly and Viewdle startup, which developed the Face Detection technology, that has become a part of Google.
Contacting Ukrainian dev companies you would be most likely provided with a project manager who will coordinate the whole process and be the bridge between you and your remote team.

Compared to Western countries, with the average price tag ranging from 60$ to 100$ per hour, the developers from Easter Europe are paid from 25$ to 50$ per hour.

Mentality

Ukrainians have the ability, despite many others, to think from the client’s perspective. You won’t have any cultural barriers and our communication in traditional Western-style always fulfills with a sense of humor but handles serious approach anyway.

Many software development companies in Ukraine provide “full-stack” development, mobile development, quality assurance. Therefore you can entrust the whole life-cycle of the project to one company that becomes your reliable outsourcing partner.

Cultural similarities allow you to find the most reasonable solutions in a more collaborative and less process-driven business environment.
