A report released in 2005 by The Economist Intelligence Unit showed Romania ranks 14th in the world as favorite outsourcing destination Scoring 7.08 while the leader of this top, India, scores 7.76. Countries were scored on labour costs, labour skills, labour regulation, proximity to major sources of investment, political and security risk, macroeconomic stability, regulatory environment, tax regime, and infrastructure. The survey was based upon the answers of 500 managers from 75 countries.

Some additional reasons why outsource to Romania as a reliable center of offshore development:

• Software development is different
  The outsourcing market benefits of global trendsetters, outsourcing giants that provide inspiration permanently. However, clients' needs are very specific to their own organizations; their search for cost optimization or very specific skill sets generates new outsourcing demands daily.
• Geographic location
  Its geographic location makes Romania an ideal choice for a European  company to develop an IT platform to support its needs.
• Finding qualified developers is hard
  Romania’s density of software graduates per thousand inhabitants is  significantly higher than in the USA, it is five times that of Russia and nearly  seven times that of India.
  The right people can ensure success of the project, and vice versa.  Unqualified personnel can be a reason for failure. But finding, hiring, and  integrating of a new staff is a difficult task. A more effective and less  expensive solution is to hire an outsource team that would handle software  development for your business. In the other words, let your recruiting  problem become ours.  
• Pay only for the people you need
  Different stages of the project require different resource amounts. Extra costs  are inevitable if you hire your own team and maintain it all the time.  However, outsourcing companies use "scaleable" teams-amount of people assigned to the project depends on its phase.
  The cost of skilled IT professionals in Romania is around one-third of that in  the US or Europe. 
• Rapid project start 
  Outsourcing is a good choice for a rapid-start project because there is no need to hire and prepare your own team. We consult and assist you from the very first contact with our company and as long as you need it.
• Reduce risk
  Software development has its own technological process that should be carefully studied before you start an IT project. This may take a lot of time. This is a risk if your company is not involved in this field professionally.
• Foreign languages proficiency:
  • Some 60% of the Romanian population speaks a foreign language, mainly English;
  • English – spoken by everyone working in the IT&C sector;
  • Good level of French due to cultural and historical reasons;
  • Elevated German minority in Transylvania;
  • Spanish and Italian – easy to learn any of these languages due to the Latin origin and high resemblance with local language;
  • Good frequency of persons speaking Russian, Hungarian, Greek, Turkish, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Serbian other European languages.
