Outsourcing Status of Russia

Filed in archive Outsourcing News on March 19, 2007

Despite news showing Russia's promise to be an outsourcing destination, certain details regarding this possibility are still questionable.

Based on this news report entitled Mixed News for Russia's Outsourcing Industry, it points out the strongest as well as the weakest point for this country as an outsourcing destination. These points were stressed out in order to evaluate Russia as an eligible outsourcing destination for companies who are looking for other options when it comes to outsourcing.

Strength: The strongest point which Russia could offer to companies would be its strong educational system which emphasizes on Math and Science subjects.

Weakness: The most evident weakness that Russia displays as an outsourcing destination would be the lack of government support in terms of advertising Russia as an outsourcing alternative as well as in implementing outsourcing policies.

If Russia's plan is to become the next India, they might need to start on their work right now.
