Earlier this week, the US industry association IAOP released the 12th edition of its annual Global Outsourcing 100 ranking to identify the best outsourcing service providers in the world.
The ranking is based on what the IAOP believes to be the best companies in each of five judging categories: size and growth, customer references, awards and certifications, programs for innovation, and corporate social responsibility.
Eleven Ukrainian IT firms (up from just seven last year and four in 2016) and seven international IT companies with their R&D centers located in Ukraine got named to the listing.
Among these companies are:
- SoftServe (more than 3,000 engineers in Ukraine, HQ in Lviv (Lvov), Western Ukraine);
- Eleks (almost 1,100 engineers in Ukraine, HQ in Lviv (Lvov), Western Ukraine);
- Miratech (more than 800 engineers in Ukraine, HQ in Kyiv (Kiev));
- Sigma Software (almost 600 engineers in Ukraine, HQ in Kharkiv (Kharkov), Eastern Ukraine; the company is affiliated to Swedish consulting group Sigma);
- N-IX (almost 300 engineers in Ukraine, HQ in Lviv (Lvov), Western Ukraine);

- Innovecs (over 250 engineers in Ukraine, HQ in Kyiv (Kiev);
- Itera (130 engineers in Ukraine, HQ Kyiv (Kiev);
- Intellias (980 engineers in Ukraine, HQ Lviv (Lvov)
The last four companies — Infopulse, Innovecs, Itera and Intellias — are listed in the IAOP’s ranking for the first time.
The following international companies with their R&D centers located in Ukraine are mentioned in the list:
- EPAM (almost 4,000 engineers in Ukraine, HQ in the USA);
