We asked how they and their international clients who rely on them to keep their digital infrastructure running are preparing for disaster scenarios if Russia invades. “I’m from Kharkiv, it’s next to Donetsk and Luhansk, so I’m going to move to Georgia this month. It’s short-term plan”, says Max Klimenko, Key Clients Manager at SPD Ukraine. ” Existing clients and partners ask us what we plan to do in case of full scale attack. Have we got any plans for relocation etc.? In some cases they offer their help. They don’t break contracts or short our teams, so everything is ok.” We also present the economic data combined with sector insight that shows the extent to which Europe and North America’s digital economies rely on IT specialists from Ukraine, and Russia. And explore what the consequences could be if these critical IT services were disrupted for an undetermined period. – Most large corporations and thousands of SMEs and start-ups in Germany and W Europe rely on Ukrainian IT specialists. – Ukraine’s IT exports were worth $6.8 billion in 2021 – x2 gas transmission revenues. – Ukraine IT service exports forecast to reach $16.3 billion by 2025 – German IT outsourcing market worth $19 billion – up to 20% of that relies on Ukrainian specialists – Russian IT services exports worth $6 billion For the full interviews with management from Ukrainian IT services providers and charts and economic data showing the scale of W European reliance on IT services from the region visit – https://kruschecompany.com/west-relies-on-ukrainian-it-services/ About K&C (Krusche & Company GmbH): K&C is a Munich-based IT outsourcing provider and software development company.
