“We see the organic growth along with improvements in the Russian economy. While market is growing, we notice growing interest in the outsourcing services”, — said Andrey Shabanov VP Services UCMS Group EMEA.  — “The good news is that now Russian companies look at the outsourcing more seriously. It is considered as a way to reduce risks such as incorrectly calculated taxes or unauthorized access to confidential information. Starting with payroll outsourcing, customers are interested in the outsourcing of Accounting, HR Administration, Legal Services and HR software.”
“This volume and revenue growth for BPO providers has been achieved from sales to both new and repeat customers”, — said Vartan Hanferyan, Senior Analyst at “Expert RA”. — “Economic environment allows customers to not only renew but also gradually increasethe investment in development and improvement of business.
