At Luxoft, we leverage nearshore capability with skilled IT professionals to offer the best in managed delivery and value added services for high-end IT projects.
Adjacent time zone
A critical element to project's success is the back and forth between a client and a vendor. The three to four hour flight from any point in Europe means that our clients are in Luxoft’s offices when needed, cost and time effectively.
People
Russia is renowned for its talent pool of highly skilled IT professionals. More than 60 per cent of Luxoft employees are senior specialists with over 7 years of IT related experience. Over 80 per cent of Luxoft’s people are educated to PHD or Master’s level. These high level skills equip Luxoft people to deal with extremely challenging IT projects and enable us to convert them with a high degree of success.
Low level attrition
Luxoft prides itself on the longevity of its staff. Our organisation-wide attrition rate stands at eight per cent. This in turn means longevity of team members engaged in Luxoft development centres and in ITO projects.
Cultural, geographic and regulatory proximity
For development projects that require a close and high degree of collaboration nearshore capacity has innumerable advantages. It enables seamless integration of teams, airtight communications and faster project ramp up. It improves operational effectiveness and knowledge transfer.
High/Low Cost Resources Ratio
For critical and complex projects using the services of an ITO provider, end user companies tend to factor in for a high level of on-site presence from the supplier. Luxoft nearshore operating model enables clients to send more of the work to Luxoft development centres providing effective management of high/low cost resources ratio.

All Luxoft development centres are located in dedicated client approved and physically-secured areas.
