Why Outsource Your IT Initiative to Poland
Stable economy
A positive economic climate makes Poland a lucrative outsourcing location, and the IT sector is the country’s major pillar of economic growth. Today, the Polish IT services market represents ~8% of the country’s GDP, and IT services account for one-third of all Polish service exports to the US.
Vast talent pool
Poland has over 600,000 IT experts, which is the largest and most versatile IT talent pool in Central and Eastern Europe. Proven technology skills, strong work ethics, and a Western cultural background make Polish programmers a perfect fit for American projects.
Good value for money
Compared to the US and Western Europe, Poland offers 1.5–3x lower IT service prices. Alongside recognized service quality and strict data protection standards, it makes outsourcing to Polish vendors an attractive option for companies seeking budget-friendly and high-quality IT services.

How to Choose a Trustworthy IT Vendor in Poland
Many of our US-based clients had never outsourced to Poland before ScienceSoft and had reservations about going so far offshore. Based on what they told us, here are the five key tactics that helped them find a trustworthy partner in Poland:
- Prioritize vendors that have built similar software or worked with your industry in the past. This way, you reduce the risk of engaging an incompetent vendor and shorten the discovery time.
- Ask for reviews from other American companies that outsourced to the same development center. Check how they describe communication, delivery, reporting, and adherence to the agreed budget and timelines.
- Go a step further and contact the vendor’s references directly to get first-hand accounts from its past and current clients.
- Only consider vendors that hold reputable certifications like ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 – these indicate a solid approach to quality and security.
- Request sample project documents or code fragments. Well-structured documentation, clean code, and detailed reports will protect you from knowledge loss and vendor lock-in.
