After the COVID-19 pandemic, global supply chains will never look the same. Businesses all around the globe are rethinking their supply chain strategies and bringing production back. However, that does not affect the digital supply chains. Offshoring software development remains a trend and is not expected to die down any time soon. In this article, you will get to know the emerging outsourcing destinations, the main issues that startups and small businesses face when outsourcing, and what our team at SourceStack do to facilitate the process for startups and small businesses.

Eastern Europe as a Major Player in the Outsourcing Game

Outsourcing to Eastern Europe has become increasingly popular since 2008 when companies started seeking cost-cutting solutions and new partners in the emerging region. Offshoring to this region yields a number of advantages for western companies: comparatively low wages, cultural and geographical proximity to Western Europe. Eastern Europe as an outsourcing destination has been gaining popularity among western companies and becoming a strong competitor for India in the last 5 years. Ukraine, in particular, has been gaining momentum in the last decade, with extremely high-quality teams, moderate rates, and mature workflows.
