The client’s continued growth and international expansion demanded better internal information exchange. The solution was a new comprehensive Intranet system giving access to the corporate information resources to all employees in all global locations. However, the main concern was the MIS system due to the critical nature of its functionality and the high cost of development, considering the existing budget constraints. Since the internal IT resources were operating at full capacity, a new system had to be purchased or its development outsourced. The option of purchasing a packaged solution was soon discarded, as it was virtually impossible to find a ready solution that would meet all their requirements. The decision was made to outsource it to a service provider. The search soon shifted away from the large vendors toward smaller and more specialized companies. Geographic proximity was also an important factor, so the selection process narrowed down to a few Eastern European vendors. Finally Luxoft, with the development centers in Romania and Ukraine, emerged as the leader, thanks to their strong focus on engineering excellence, in-depth domain knowledge, solid track record and the conveniently located development centers.
