Why You Should Outsource Your IT Projects to Lithuania

To stay competitive, companies increasingly rely on outsourcing tech — capitalising on cost-efficiency, lower expenses and convenience. IT is one of the most commonly outsourced services, and the global ITO industry peaked at $62bn in 2018, with 65% of firms wanting to continue outsourcing.

Where to outsource

Common destinations include India, Ukraine and Poland, but the most common isn’t always the best. Eastern Europe offers highly competent developers, quality education, good English, a negligible time-zone difference and Western-aligned culture. Asia and the Middle East (notably India) has scale but less convenient time zones and communication trade-offs. Latin America is a newer, US-friendly option still developing technically. The takeaway: cheap work isn’t quality work — soft skills and communication matter.
