Ukrainian Embassy Announces IT Outsourcing Initiative
WASHINGTON, April 18, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On April 29th,
the Ukrainian Embassy to the United States will unveil a Strategic
Initiative to help the country withstand economic pressure caused by
recent events in Russia. The initiative, called "Increase Profits.
Support Democracy. Cloudsource to Ukraine." aims to help the country
compete for a share of the $288 Billion global IT outsourcing market
through providing transparent cloudsourcing services. Ukrainian
Ambassador Olexander Motsyk will officially unveil the program at a
reception on April 29, 2014 at the Ukraine Embassy in Washington, D.C.
"I am quite sure that the IT industry in the Ukraine provides
excellent opportunities to do a good business," said Pavlo Sheremeta,
the Minister of Economic Development of the Ukraine. "This is one of
the booming sectors in Ukraine due to strong education and the long
standing culture of innovation and inventions that we have in the
Ukraine."
The SupportUkraine.us service will help U.S. companies and government
agencies find qualified Ukrainian IT outsourcing resources. The
initiative is supported by TransparentBusiness.com, a cloud-based
solution which allows companies to track outsourced work in real time
and retroactively. Specific services to be offered include
application, mobile, database and CMS development, as well as web
design, project management and server administration, among others.
In 2013, IT outsourcing helped add more than $1.5 Billion to the
Ukrainian economy. Ukrainian universities currently produce more than
30,000 IT graduates each year.
The April 29 reception is by invitation only. Please contact Tatiana
Shalkviska, Press Officer, Embassy of Ukraine to the U.S. at (202)
