Romanian business design company 112Hub has rolled out the "Culturator for Outsourcing", an AI-powered tool that helps businesses identify the best country for IT outsourcing based on key criteria such as expertise, cost, scalability and cultural fit, the company said in a release on Monday, noting also that Romania remains one of the most competitive players in the region thanks to lower costs, well-trained workforce and solid technology skills.
Regionally, Poland is the main competitor, with a larger IT ecosystem and close economic integration with Germany, the release notes.
The new platform launched by 112Hub examines over ten essential criteria, including the cost-quality ratio, the level of technical competence, digital infrastructure and intellectual property protection. Based on this data, companies receive a top three pick of the most suitable countries for outsourcing, each rated on a scale of 1 to 10.
"The companies using Culturator for Outsourcing can enter details about their specific needs, including the type of IT experts needed, the desired programming language, team size, seniority level and estimated budget. Romania remains one of the most competitive players in the region, alongside Poland, Ukraine and Bulgaria. The lower costs compared to Western Europe, the well-trained workforce and skills in the most popular technologies make Romania a preferred destination for companies looking for software developers. Poland is the main regional competitor, with a larger IT ecosystem and closer economic integration with Germany, while Ukraine offers developers with expertise in advanced technologies at lower costs, but faces ongoing geopolitical challenges," the statement said.
The Romanian tech company is banking on the growing demand for smart outsourcing solutions as U.S. and European businesses are looking for more efficient and secure alternatives to outsource their IT services.
In addition, it has also unveiled the "Culturator for CVs", an AI-powered tool that analyses job applicants' résumés, scoring them for technical skills and cultural compatibility.
