Issue
BigCommerce decided to ramp up its product development efforts with a more aggressive approach. They needed to invest heavily in expanding their team.
Faced with a shortage of software developers and rising costs in the United States, they sought more accessible and affordable solutions without compromising quality.
While they had previously worked with outsourcing companies from Romania and Ukraine, BigCommerce realized they needed committed developers who would solely focus on their product. That's why they chose to build their own R&D team in Ukraine.
