Our Story

OutsourcingICT is a sister company of Future Forward Brand NewMedia. When Future Forward was founded in Brielle in 1999 by Dennis Groeneveld, we have experienced first-hand how challenging might be to find experienced developers locally. In fact, while some of them were already working somewhere and wanted to change companies only for much better conditions, others wouldn’t relocate for the new position. Adding cost analysis into the picture, we had realized how much of a difference hiring nearshore developers makes.

It was then when we had started considering hiring skilled developers from abroad. We were looking for knowledgeable, capable, bright and skillful developers and started the quest. We were considering many outsourcing countries worldwide that have a proven track record of having high quality developers. The more we researched the more we were realizing that we wanted to cooperate with someone whose culture is close to ours, someone who is in the same time zone like us, can hop on a plane and join us for project meetings, have great English and communication skills and most importantly, have advanced programming skills.

 

Our scope of interest was in the Southeastern Europe, as our vast research on the topic had shown that many skilled developers come from there. Serbia was the country that stood out the most, and for all the great reasons:

• Internationally acknowledged IT professionals – there is a large number of IT professionals from Serbia that work on top positions in the largest companies in the industry. There are also many professionals that work as freelancers for international companies

• Lower costs for software production services – The costs of living and software developer salaries are much lower compared to Western Europe. Therefore, the costs of engaging such a developer are much lower, which helps you stay on a budget  

• Strong math and analytical skills – the educational system in Serbia is paying a close attention to developing strong mathematical and logical skills during the entire course of education

• English language – English language is mandatory during schooling for at least eight years

Keeping all these arguments in mind, in 2011, we recruited the first outsourced developer, Zoran Popovic. Five years later, we have a fully operating office in the city of Nis, Serbia, where our nearshore dedicated teams of PHP developers, Java developers, HTML5 and CSS developers (front-end developers), .NET developers, C# developers, JavaScript developers, AngularJS developers support our clients with their IT projects and digital transformation at affordable prices.
