Going offshore rarely comes easy, as this decision has a myriad of consequences both at a company level and nationwide. While India is the number one destination for software outsourcing due to its resource availability and relatively low cost, countries from Eastern Europe become increasingly popular with companies in need of highly skilled specialists. 

When would offshore software outsourcing to Romania be justified?

You might look towards Romania for custom software development when you need a level of involvement that is atypical for Asian providers. The Romanian culture is far more similar to that from developed countries than the Indian one, for example. Our specialists feel no cultural pressure to follow guidelines blindly, even when it is obvious they would lead to failure. You might also want to choose Romania for the excellent software developers it produces in high numbers, its modern  IT infrastructure, reliable security systems, and the excellent linguistic abilities of its software developers. The time zone difference and costs are the most sensitive issues mentioned by our prospects, but most of the times we can find ways to overcome them.

The answers to these questions are similar to those for offshore outsourcing with one major exception: the time zone difference, which is insignificant in nearshoring. Companies in Western Europe discovered in AROBS an attractive and reliable outsourcing partner and keep requesting our services.
  

Whether or not custom software works for you depends on several factors.  Normally, any custom software development project has specific goals, such as streamlining of internal processes, providing an effective solution to a specific problem, which is not addressed by off-the-shelf packages, scalability, outdoing off-the-shelf solutions in flexibility and life-cycle.

• have in-house custom software support expertise;
