Outsourcing Provider Selection

For potential clients who would like to find a local software development, IT outsourcing partner/provider, Ukrainian Hi-Tech Initiative offers our services to select the most suitable partner/provider in Ukraine. We know the market and will select for you software development and IT outsourcing companies that meet your requirements the most, mainly in three steps:

• Initial screening (based on client’s criteria and requirements) – long list of candidates
• In-depth study and investigation – short list of candidates
• Due diligence – final candidates

In order to provide the client with the best results, we recommend selecting a partner/provider according to plan developed by us over the long time of our work on the market.

The plan of the typical project on selection the partner/provider usually looks as following (it is optional and can be changed according to the client’s needs):

• The client provides information (application form) about the project and requirements to the partner/provider
• Ukrainian Hi-Tech Initiative carries out the selection of the companies that meet all the requirements
• Ukrainian Hi-Tech Initiative creates the list of candidates and delivers the profiles of companies for the client’s consideration
• The client selects one or several companies
• The client requests the additional information from the candidates if there is a need
• Ukrainian Hi-Tech Initiative arranges online meetings (via Webex, Gotomeeting) or conference calls with the candidates selected by the client to discuss the details
• The client decides and selects the companies they would like to meet for the direct communication
• Ukrainian Hi-Tech Initiative arranges meetings with the selected companies
• Depending on the meeting results the client selects the partner/provider
• The client sign a contract with the partner/provider after all negotiations are finished
