Business Process Outsourcing News and Information

Gartner, the leading research firm has put Russia in the top ten global outsourcing destination list but it seems more than anything else, it's the perception of the country as a whole which is proving to be the bottleneck behind its goal of getting lucrative high end global offshore outsourcing contracts. Companies are ready to send work to other Eastern European countries, but not Russia.

 

Dmitry Milovantsev, Russian deputy IT minister however feels that the perception is changing very fast. He hopes Russian economy will reborn as an "economy of high technologies." According to the minister, Russia unlike cheap low end service providers like India and China rather concentrate on high end software services. Something like equity-trading applications and core enterprise systems?
