Not so long ago outsourcing was considered by many as a cost-effective way to manage low-end operations in either China or India but with the software development world changing so quickly there are a few factors that now prove critical when competing for the best and most challenging projects. In today’s modern world, outsourcing has become so much more important for organizations with it being a solution for finding and growing talented IT individuals.
In this article, we’ll be looking at why Poland is the best choice for IT outsourcing.
Top-quality skills and high work standards
A survey that was conducted by HackerRank has placed Polish developers in the top three best developers in the world with specializations in front-end, back-end, and object-oriented languages like Java, .Net, Python, JavaScript, and others. When hiring a Polish IT specialist, you are accessing a wealth of knowledge and experience that could be used on any programming need our business may have. Poland has become one of the top locations for innovative technologies like blockchain AI.
Strong Education and Language skills
All post-soviet countries, including Poland, have developed very strong STEM public educational institutions with 80% of high school graduates deciding to continue their education to at least a bachelor/engineering degree level. According to the latest research, there are over 450 Universities in Poland alone with those university programmes working with the EU Bologna standards in an attempt to make it easier to compare different skills and diplomas.
Favourable location and rates
Poland has a prime location as it is centralized for both the West and East. It’s only 6 hours ahead of New York, 1 Hour ahead of London and shares the same time zone as Berlin, Amsterdam, and Stockholm meaning it’s a better option than India or China. Since Poland is part of the EU it has proven stability, security, and western work standards while also having the best rates compared to its neighbouring European countries. On average outsourcing to Poland is 50% cheaper than other European countries and 60% cheaper than the US meaning you can find excellent quality at an attractive price.
Vibrant Business environment & infrastructure

This ranking was comparing 80 other economies according to business and investment environments like institutional framework. They were assessed on factors like Investor protection, market potential, infrastructure, taxes, workforce, quality of life, corruption, freedom, and technological readiness.
