Pentalog Outsourcing in Romania

IT outsourcing in Romania has been growing in popularity over the past decade. Currently, Bucharest is ranked as the 41st best outsourcing destination in the world. As an outsourcing hub Romania has a privileged location. It is in relatively close proximity to big firms in Western Europe with only a 1 hour time difference from Berlin and is only three hours by flight away from London. Romanians have a high aptitude for speaking European languages and can integrate easily into a Western European business culture.

IT recruitment has been increasing in Romania in spite of the recent economic crisis, and it has been recognized as one of the best IT outsourcing locations in regards to the ratio of service quality to price. Recognizing this data, Pentalog has based many of its services in Romania, setting up offices in Bucharest, Brasov, Cluj, and Iasi. Pentalog’s interest in Romania, combined with the interests of other companies, has led to the creation of 10,000 well-paid jobs in Iasi.
