????據(jù)烏克蘭國(guó)家通信與信息化監(jiān)管委員會(huì)（National Commission for the State Regulation of Communication and Informatization of Ukraine）2013年的報(bào)告顯示,，目前,，烏克蘭的認(rèn)證IT專(zhuān)業(yè)人員數(shù)量居世界第四位。事實(shí)上,，早在2011年,，烏克蘭的IT勞務(wù)輸出就已經(jīng)超過(guò)了武器出口。即便現(xiàn)在,，烏克蘭政府仍然在為它的IT行業(yè)提供減稅和公共融資等優(yōu)惠政策,。此外，烏克蘭在教育方面的公共開(kāi)支在中東歐地區(qū)高居榜首,。小公司如果想要尋找價(jià)格低廉,、但高度專(zhuān)業(yè)化的員工，烏克蘭絕對(duì)是一座有待開(kāi)發(fā)的金礦,。

????而在財(cái)務(wù)方面,，烏克蘭的吸引力更是令人難以抗拒。據(jù)SupportUkraine.us（近期,，烏克蘭大使館為鼓勵(lì)投資設(shè)計(jì)的活動(dòng)）統(tǒng)計(jì),，在烏克蘭進(jìn)行外包的公司，預(yù)計(jì)可節(jié)省40%至75%的預(yù)算,。如此驚人的價(jià)值并不意味著品質(zhì)的下降,；我公司的烏克蘭圖形設(shè)計(jì)師和程序員們都是公司最有價(jià)值的員工,。如果沒(méi)有他們一直以來(lái)的出色表現(xiàn)，我也不會(huì)有今天的成績(jī),。

????此外,，烏克蘭在文化方面也有諸多優(yōu)勢(shì)。烏克蘭人態(tài)度誠(chéng)懇,，工作努力,，面對(duì)逆境，永不放棄,。我們也從來(lái)不會(huì)忽視良好禮儀和友好態(tài)度的重要性,。烏克蘭人的誠(chéng)實(shí)和坦率經(jīng)常令人深感意外；對(duì)于在海外外包敏感工作的公司,，這些品質(zhì)至關(guān)重要,。

????烏克蘭的尊嚴(yán)感與專(zhuān)業(yè)精神可以追溯到歷史上的經(jīng)濟(jì)繁榮時(shí)期。而正是這種精神把它與其他受歡迎的外包國(guó)家區(qū)別開(kāi)來(lái),，比如在印度和中國(guó),，文化沖突有時(shí)候會(huì)成為難以應(yīng)對(duì)的挑戰(zhàn)。烏克蘭的商業(yè)文化與美國(guó)有許多相通之處,，因?yàn)檫@兩個(gè)國(guó)家都曾經(jīng)是強(qiáng)大的世界強(qiáng)國(guó),。美國(guó)公司會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)與烏克蘭人交流更容易，因?yàn)樵S多烏克蘭人可以用流利的英文對(duì)話(huà)和閱讀,。

????目前,，烏克蘭發(fā)生的事情確實(shí)非常糟糕，但這種局面不會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)持續(xù)下去,。我相信,，沖突結(jié)束之后，祖國(guó)的人民將變得更加堅(jiān)強(qiáng),。目前,，有許多烏克蘭人處于無(wú)業(yè)狀態(tài)，所以,，對(duì)于美國(guó)公司而言,，現(xiàn)在是以低成本獲得聰明敬業(yè)的新員工的成熟時(shí)機(jī)。投資烏克蘭,，你不僅在幫助自己的公司發(fā)展,，也在幫助拯救一個(gè)國(guó)家。

????Presently, Ukraine is ranked fourth in the world for its number of certified IT specialists, according to a 2013 report of the National Commission for the State Regulation of Communication and Informatization of Ukraine.In fact, as of 2011, the country’s IT service exports have exceeded its arms exports. Even now, the Ukrainian government supports its IT sector with tax exemptions and public financing. Ukraine also boasts the highest public expenditures on education in East-Central Europe. The country is practically an untapped goldmine for small businesses looking for inexpensive yet highly professional employees.

????In terms of the bottom line, Ukraine’s allure is undeniable. According to SupportUkraine.us (a recent initiative from Ukraine’s embassy, designed to encourage investment), companies that outsource to Ukraine are estimated to save between 40% to 75% of their budgets. Such spectacular value doesn’t come at the cost of a drop in quality; the Ukrainian graphic designers and programmers who work for my own company are some of my most valuable employees. I wouldn’t be where I am today if their work wasn’t consistently exceptional.

????Ukraine also has plenty to offer from a cultural perspective. Ukrainians are earnest, hard-working people, and we don’t give up in the face of adversity. Nor do we overlook the importance of good manners and a friendly attitude. People are often surprised by how honest and transparent Ukraine’s people are; that’s an important trait to look for when outsourcing sensitive work overseas.

????The country’s sense of dignity and professionalism can be traced back to its history of economic prosperity. That’s something that truly sets it apart from other popular outsourcing nations such as India and China, where cultural incompatibility can sometimes be a formidable challenge. Ukraine’s business culture is quite compatible with that of the U.S. since both of them have experience as a formidable world power. American businesses often find it easier to communicate with Ukrainians, many of whom speak and read English fluently.

????What’s happening right now in Ukraine is awful, but it won’t last forever. I have faith that when this conflict is over, the people of my home country will come back stronger than ever. With so many people out of a job right now, this is a ripe opportunity for U.S. businesses to acquire some incredibly smart and dedicated employees at a low cost. And not only will you be helping your own company grow — you’ll be helping to save a nation.
