Armenia is our choice for software development
Software development in Armenia, how did EasyData end up there?
The decision to base EasyData’s software development in Armenia might seem unusual at first glance, but the reasoning is quite straightforward. EasyData establishes its development departments in regions with abundant skilled software engineers, and Armenia is a prime example of such an environment.
Armenia has been a significant player in computer science since the 1950s. During its time as part of the Soviet Union, the central government invested heavily in making Armenia a hub for technological advancement, including supercomputers and a robust educational system. Following Armenia’s independence in 1991, these university programs remained intact, allowing the IT sector to thrive and contribute to the nation’s economic growth.
Software development in Europe
Over the years, Europe’s demand for software development services has grown steadily. This growth, driven by an increasing need for technological innovation, underscores the importance of integrating cutting-edge technology into every market.
However, Europe faces a persistent and growing shortage of skilled IT professionals. Those in the industry will immediately recognize the challenge: complex automation and innovation needs are rising, yet the number of qualified software engineers cannot satisfy the current demand.
The scarcity of software developers in Europe has led many companies to outsource their development needs or build overseas teams — a demand that EasyData has been successfully meeting.
Our multidisciplinary teams specialize in areas like security, Machine Learning, and AI algorithm development, making them valuable not only for EasyData’s internal projects but also for external collaborations.
European Software Development
Through the years, our Armenian office has evolved into a hub for innovative software development. With a service-oriented approach, we recognize a growing demand for EasyData software developers. This broader demand for software developers is driven by increasing needs in digital transformation, data analysis, document classification, and cybersecurity challenges.
Cybersecurity has become a top priority, especially as more organizations, including EasyData, transition to the Cloud. This shift requires specialists who can take the responsibility to provide solid security for data processing projects.
EasyData is fundamentally internationally oriented, with our clients spread all over the world. Our Armenian software engineers fit perfectly into this framework.
Certainly, when you take a closer look at the smart development teams at EasyData, the company, at its core, is a gathering of well-trained engineers with diverse cultural backgrounds. Therefore, establishing a solid presence in Yerevan, Armenia was a natural choice to make.
Cloud and security issues requests on the rise
And not just from software development projects initiated by EasyData. The European demand for software development services is driven by a large skills shortage and the need to achieve set objectives.
Almost every organization needs software, yet most don’t want to hire internal software developers. Rightly so, this requires specific knowledge and senior project management to achieve the set objectives. Due to this ever-increasing demand and limited availability of talented IT employees, effective coding has become one of the most outsourced IT services in the world. EasyData is expanding in this area by facilitating software development by our staff for European organizations. And work together in Armenia.
The common shortage of Software Developers
Because the shortage of developers affects most European countries and most European software developers prefer to work locally, organizations regularly recruit talent from outside the European community. This consideration offers more than just flexibility. Cost and specialization have a different balance outside Western Europe than, say, in Amsterdam. That is one reason for the increasing popularity of EasyData. Outsourcing software development tasks to EasyData gives higher returns, better quality, and a level of service that is difficult to match in the domestic market. After the COVID pandemic, working from home has become the new norm. With this shift in mindset, the distinction between internal, nearshore, and offshore teams has blurred. Our partners and customers are taking advantage of it!
Focus on your core activities
A major advantage of outsourcing software development services is that European end-user companies do not need to hire in-house expertise when they outsource these activities. Software development requires excellent knowledge, skills, tools, and security provisions that most European end-user companies do not possess. Outsourcing allows them to focus on their core activities and gives them the flexibility to bring in specialized developers when needed.
This is particularly relevant during the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Companies need their staff to focus on their core activities, potentially with additional tasks from colleagues who have been laid off or granted leave. Moreover, there is relatively little room in budgets for hiring new employees, making outsourcing an attractive solution.
