Key Things about Offshoring C++ Development
Why big tech offshore C++ development
Amazon, Google, IBM, and Microsoft have expanded into Latin America and Eastern Europe. This trend is global: in 2022, 65% of US tech companies outsourced their operations to EE, while 2023 saw US businesses increase their hiring in LATAM by 50%.ย Offshoring tech development saves the day, and here is why:
- Deficit of US talent to meet the demand. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a shortage of 1.2 million software developers by 2026. With demand rising, 87% of tech executives see the talent gap as their top challenge.
- Mounting expenses to hire US programmers. Between January 2018 and January 2024, the median base pay for software developers in the U.S. rose by 24%. Costs climb with expertise: hiring a tech C-level runs $238,000 to $288,000 annually.
Big tech choose Latin America and Eastern Europe because of:
- Abundant talent. LATAM 1.75 million and EE 1.5 million offshore tech developers potentially address the US talent gap.ย
- Affordable costs. Hiring and retaining an IT professional includes annual salaries, recruitment fees, payroll & tax, and benefits. In the United States, software engineers cost tech companies $131,000 to $186,000 annually, while in LATAM and Eastern Europe, average costs are $50,000 to $91,000 and $57,000 to $112,000, respectively. This difference alone cuts expenses by 1.8 to 2.2 timesโand with reduced tax burdens in these regions, savings increase even further.
- Acknowledged tech expertise. The most in-demand global spheres are cybersecurity, AI and machine learning, and data science. Latin American and Eastern European offshore tech programmers rank in Courseraโs top for these skills.
Top countries to offshore C++ development
Letโs take a closer look at the most prominent offshore tech development players in Latin America and Eastern Europe.ย
In LATAM:ย
- Mexico boasts the 2nd largest talent pool and proudly sits at 3rd place in UNESCOโs AI Readiness Index, thanks to its government and Microsoft funding AI training for 5 million programmers.ย
- Argentina is a haven for fintech and e-commerce startups and is #1 in the region for English proficiency.ย
- Colombiaโs JavaScript dominance undeniably solidifies its spot in the top 5 for fintech, e-commerce, and cloud.ย
- Chile comes in 1st for digital skills, drives AI, cloud, and insurtech, and has the 3rd largest regional IT workforce.ย
In Eastern Europe:
- Poland leads with the largest talent pool of offshore tech developers and Europeโs 7th most prominent tech market.ย
- Ukraine comes in 5th for tech skills, constantly pushing the envelope in DefenseTech and MedTech.ย
- Romania shines with its $21-billion ICT market and the 6th highest number of certified developers per 1,000 inhabitants globally.
- Bulgaria excels in AI and cybersecurity, drawing attention with its competitive 10% personal and corporate income taxโthe lowest in the region.
What is an offshore C++ development center?
Alcorโs development center with C++-based expertise is a blend of three: tech recruitment, Employer of Record, and full operational support.ย
Tech recruitment builds you a team of top-10% software engineers in the market. Thanks to our 253K+ database of pre-vetted candidates and 40 expert recruiters, it takes only 8 CVs for one accepted offer and 2-6 weeks to gather a team of 5 Silicon Valley-caliber offshore tech programmers.
Employer of Record removes the hassle of managing HR, payroll, and legal compliance on your own. Thereโs more: you donโt need to open a legal entity when expanding abroad. Instead, we at Alcor hire offshore tech developers, and you enjoy a top-tier in-house team.
Full operational support provides you with a full-fledged offshore tech development office overseas. Office rent, equipment procurement, insurance provision, and IT supportโall taken care of!
Comparison with alternatives
In outsourcing or outstaffing, you get junior or middle-level talent, low loyalty, communication via a third party, and exorbitant fees. Alternatively, you can build an offshore software development team on your own, but conquering a local market with legal and tax differences is no mean feat.
Alcor steps in with expert knowledge in offshore business expansion. Instead of leaving you high and dry in an unfamiliar market, we navigate the complexities of tech recruitment, taxation, and legislation for you. Add in Employer of Record services and full operational support, and an offshore tech development team is at your disposal without opening a legal entity.
Alcorโs software R&D accelerator is an all-in-one solution to expand into Latin America or Eastern Europe and access top-10% tech talent at a fraction of the cost. Itโs long-term, scalable, under your control, and without markups.
Your Own Offshore C++ Team is Better than Third-party
Alcor is an all-in-one place to establish and run a turnkey software R&D center:
- Employer of Record support โ no need to set up your legal entity
- From 0 to 100+ software developers in one key talent pool
- Establish your corporate culture with your own team. โจNo intermediary
- No buy-out or other hidden fees
Offshore Software Development vs Own R&D Center
Offshoring software development
- Cloudy pricing With outsourcers, the markup for your vendorโs service might exceed a C++ developerโs salary by 50%.
- Temporary fix Offshore development teams are loyal as long as the contract lasts and wonโt go the extra mile to ensure your productโs long-term success.
- Your provider comes first An external C++ development team will report only to your vendor, treating you as the โsecondaryโ employer.
- IP rights transfer complexities When you engage a offshore development service company, the IP rights of your product initially belong to the outsourcing team. So think ahead about the safe transferring of them to you later.
- Barrier to investment attraction Engaging with a offshore development partner means that you delegate your core competencies to developers who will leave your team for good. Not exactly the investorโs dream.
Software Development Center
- Maximized cost savings Your own software R&D team costs 40% less than an outsourced team. Because you get no buy-out fees & markups.
- Long-term commitment Product development and a sense of ownership attract professional developers as bees to honey. Hence, more loyalty.
- Direct control over development You get your team of offshore C++ developers for ideation, innovation, and growthโwithout intermediaries.
- Intellectual property under control With direct agreements, you fully own your product and its source code, keeping unique engineering expertise in-house.
- Easy investment attraction Establishing your own R&D center with a dedicated team will enhance your appeal to investors.
