Background<\/strong><\/p>\n

Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is a region bursting with tremendous business services (BSS) potential. This sector includes \u2018in-house\u2019 Shared Service Centres, Business Processing Operations primarily servicing external clients, IT centers, and R&D centers (including software development). Poland is the regional leader – both in the overall number of centers as well as in the total volume of employment within the industry. More than 1050 centers operate across the country (which accounts for about 70% of all BSS centers in Central and Eastern Europe), while the total employment figure exceeded 240 000 people, accounting for nearly 50% of the total number of employees within the industry in this part of Europe. A telling proof of Poland’s competitiveness in the region is the 1st place it took in the EY Attractiveness Survey – Europe 2017<\/em>, which ranked CEE countries according to the ease of doing business.<\/p>\n

The modern business services sector in Poland has been developing dynamically for over 15 years now, and the average annual increase in employment stands at between 15 and 20 percent in recent years.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s truly crucial is that the business services sector in Poland is not only growing, but also developing, namely the rise in employment goes hand in hand with an increasing complexity of processes. More and more companies opting for Poland choose to locate highly sophisticated roles that require specialized knowledge. This, in turn, stems from trust they have in the quality of the Polish academic institutions and the availability of experienced staff. This is also reflected in the growing multifunctionality of the centers in Poland; according to PATH own study, these centers already provide around 1750 unique processes. It should be emphasized that over 35% of centers located in Poland handle processes in five or more foreign languages.<\/p>\n

Well-educated, highly qualified people with great command of a large variety of foreign languages – these certainly are Poland\u2019s main assets when it comes to attracting projects like this. Its strategic location in Europe, favorable investment climate, economic stability, development of modern business-related infrastructure, improving quality of life in Polish cities, as well as an investors-friendly ecosystem supporting businesses, are all of the great importance as well.<\/p>\n

Almost 600 centers provide software development processes. IT support is performed by more than 300 entities. F&A functions and customer service are supported in more than 200 centers. The ongoing development and growth of the modern business services market, as well as the increasing sophistication and innovation of the services on offer, meaning that more and more BSS entities are becoming Centres of Excellence.<\/p>\n

The Polish IT market experiences constant growth<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although Poland is not the least expensive in terms of outsourcing, companies that outsource software development to the region can save up to 50%. The Polish IT industry is, first of all, characterized by the superior quality of its services. The country has now become a regional leader in terms of IT outsourcing, with cities with a well developed IT infrastructure such as Warsaw, Krakow, Lodz, Katowice, and Wroclaw. Moreover, major global ICT players established their R&D centers in Poland.<\/p>\n

Around 5,000 IT specialists with excellent skills are annually employed in the industry. In 2016, the IT services market in Poland reached $7.9 billion, and approximately 140,000 IT professionals work in this sector in more than 450 outsourcing centers. Statistics also show that 200,000 IT jobs will be created by 2018. What is more, the fact that Poland currently ranks 5th globally in a ranking published by Topcoder \u2013 a crowdsourcing platform which consists of more than one million of the world\u2019s top developers, designers, algorithms and data scientists \u2013 is another demonstration of the country\u2019s acknowledged leadership in the IT sector.<\/p>\n

Poland\u2019s talented IT professionals successfully sustain the market<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Polish productive workforce has allowed the country to maximize opportunities in the services industry. Business services centers have approximately 212,000 employees, out of which 177,000 are in foreign centers and 35,000 in Polish centers, according to a 2016 study released by ABSL. What is more, the number of jobs is forecasted to reach 300,000 in 2020. Most jobs come from SSC (shared services centers), followed by IT centers, outsourcing centers and R&D centers.<\/p>\n

IT and R&D specialists receive the highest income, alongside experts in the area of purchasing and employees responsible for settling the general ledger, according to the same ABSL report. For example, a software developer in Poland with 3 years experience can receive on average a gross salary of 1860 EUR per month, while a Quality Engineer with 2-4 years experience may earn approximately 1630 EUR per month.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, salaries also depend on the fluency in a foreign language. Specialists who speak German or Nordic languages are paid with 350 EUR higher than the ones who only master the English language. Fresh graduates applying for entry-level positions usually receive salaries 20-30% less than those who have more experience.<\/p>\n

The educational system builds a competitive workforce<\/strong><\/p>\n

Poland\u2019s educational performance has certainly remained solid over the last years, starting with its constant preoccupation with reducing the number of early school leavers to 5.3%, one of the lowest percentages in EU (European average is 11%). What is more, 93% of Polish students learn at least one foreign language as part of a mandatory language program, which greatly improves their communication abilities later on in their career. The most frequently learned language in Polish educational institutions is English, followed by German. Moreover, 10% of all EU university graduates come from Poland each year, out of which 40.000 are ICT students. With its pool of talented employees with a first class education, strong communication skills, and relatively low prices, Poland definitely has chances of maintaining its positions as both a regional and global player, being established as one of the most favorable IT outsourcing locations.<\/p>\n

We love Chinese Investment<\/strong><\/p>\n

Poland has the lowest labor costs within the European Union. While a world-class developer can earn even $100.000 a year in Silicon Valley, you can find an experienced one in Poland for less than $40.000 a year.<\/p>\n

Polish developers have a solid educational background, almost 40% of people aged 25-34 have university degrees, and they know agile and scrum. Also, 10% ICT specialists of all university graduates in the European Union come from Poland, 15.000 IT graduates enter the market annually.<\/p>\n

You might think that Poland\u2019s attractiveness is simply due to a lower cost of doing business. But many companies are going into Poland due to the availability of qualified staff as well as the attractive cost environment. <\/p>\n

When deciding to outsource processes or invest in a new opportunity, the cost is certainly important; but two other factors should also be top of mind: availability and quality. In addition to assessing the availability of office space, other considerations include the pool of highly qualified labor, whether the city is home to higher-education institutions, the quality of infrastructure as well as the stability of the political situation.<\/p>\n

Driven by growth in this sector, developers are buying new plots and constructing new office buildings. The resulting increases in property taxes are creating new sources of income for cities and expanding the importance of the Polish market\u2014generating a chain of events that is likely to continue to create valuable opportunities.<\/p>\n
