Alexei Miller, managing director at DataArt, was quoted in TechTarget’s article about continuous demand for Ukrainian consultants and software developers, even in the fifth months of war, and the resulting mass movement of thousands of IT professionals.
"DataArt keeps growing. New sales are coming in, and many current clients are expanding. Everyone still needs to execute projects."
"The big migration continues. Some folks are moving further, some are stayin. DataArt has people in 62 countries, up from about 20 nations before the war."
The relocation of DataArt's workers to higher-cost-of-living areas influences pricing. The prices DataArt charges correlate directly with labor expenses and business operations costs, such as offices, infrastructure and taxes, Miller noted. "Costs are going up, so prices are going up too," he said.
"We have to help clients see that paying more is a good idea, not the inevitable evil, because it reduces risk," Miller said. "This idea of paying more for less risk has always been part of the decision-making process, but now it's much more explicit."
