In the last decade Romania has been emerging as a new major player on the international software development market. The country has gained competitive advantages in the IT sector and is now becoming a major supplier of IT services.

Being located in the eastern part of Europe, Romania has also the advantage of being a near-shore supplier for all other European countries. Unlike offshore services, in near -shore one can easily move the programmers to the client's site quickly and at a low cost.

Near-shore eliminates the problem of difficult relocation of persons living in the other side of the world. Such an arrangement solves the problems encountered so far in the outsourcing process when urgent onsite presence could not be solved due to long distances.

Apart from a convenient geographical position, Romania offers a large set of other advantages that originate from the unique IT oriented cultural movement that has emerged in Romania.
