Why Serbia?
Why Offshore?
The progress in communication technology, such as the Internet, make offshore software development much more feasible today than was the case just ten years ago. Every year billions of dollars worth of software projects are developed in countries such as India and Russia, and in Eastern Europe. Offshore software developers often provide high quality services for less than half the cost of developing a project locally. Whether you need a simple web site or require a multimillion-dollar ERP system, offshore software development can dramatically reduce your costs without sacrificing on the quality of your project.
Competitive Advantages of Serbia
Locations in Eastern Europe are playing a new twist in the craze of sending technology development offshore. They are pushing what pundits call near-shoring, or shifting work to countries where it costs less but which are only a short hop away, and Serbia may be the best example:
GMT+1 time zone. Only 1-3 hours flight time from most European capitals.
Over 4 hours overlap with the working schedule from the East Coast (compared to just one hour overlap that Asian companies can provide).
Highest percentage of English language speakers in SE and Central Europe.
European business culture and attitude. The level of English that is used in the Western world.
Although a candidate, not yet an EU member. Greater flexibility and investment advantages. Lower infrastructure costs.
A large number of creative and talented IT professionals with strong programming and mathematical background.
Skilled labour at a reasonable cost. Software developers still available for hire.
Other advantages of Serbia include:
Strategic positioning for markets in Europe, Asia and the Middle East
Duty Free access to the South East Europe Free Trade Zone of 60 million consumers
The only country outside the CIS with a free trade agreement with the Russian Federation
Lowest corporate profits tax rate in Europe
Stable economy:
