Large IT projects related to the creation or software development require a team of experienced developers. Knowledge of the latest technologies and current trends is a prerequisite in the effective implementation of projects. So, where to look for the right support?

Competing for developers

One of the most popular places, where you can find specialized software houses that employ the best professionals is Europe. Analyzing the global market very quickly, it can be seen that this is a very popular direction for IT projects, even for countries from North and South America or Asia. In principle, the two most important factors influence on this situation. It is high quality services and competitive prices.

It should be noted that we are witnessing a global problem related to the lack of qualified developers. Data from the European Commission in the report 'E-skills for job in Europe' show that the European IT market has up to 500,000 vacancies. What is worse, it is estimated that this indicator will grow and in 2020 it can reach the ceiling of one million vacancies. On the one hand, this is a very disturbing phenomenon. On the other hand, these numbers show that there is a great demand for European developers. Hence, their lower availability results. The success factor of many companies all over the world - from startups to ending with corporations is the highest quality technology, and for this a team of effective developers is indispensable. One that will provide products with the expected growth.

Poland with a great potential?

Analyzing static data shows that every fourth programmer from Central and Eastern Europe lives in Poland. Interestingly, currently the country's IT services market is up to USD 6.8 million by 2020 with a growth rate of 5.9% CAGR. Moreover, Poland was ranked 9th in Tholons Top 100 Outsourcing Destinations 2016 with Krakow and Warsaw.

Considering such a difficult situation on the IT market around the world, it must be admitted that Poland looks really good. The average experience of the Polish programmer is currently around 7.6 years. In this respect, Poland ranks third in all of Europe. It is hardly surprising that more and more companies are opting for cooperation with Polish software houses. It is estimated that there are over 450 of them!

In addition to offering high-quality services, they also guarantee cost-effectiveness. The price of a given project in Poland can be up to twice lower than in Western Europe. All this makes Poland a truly valuable and interesting market for customers.

It is worth choosing European developers

With full conviction we can say that Europe is a really good place to look for software houses and IT developers. Both quality and customer satisfaction are confirmed by official statistical data. What is more important, despite the problems with the availability of qualified developers, many companies can find good specialists in various technologies. The tendency associated with the growing importance of Europe on the IT market has been observed for a long time, and in the future we can expect a considerable increase in this phenomenon.
