By:	Dr. Stephan Weinert (MERCER Deutschland GmbH Frankfurt/M.); Dr. Mathias Weber (Bundesverband Informationswirtschaft, Telekommunikation und neue Medien e.V. (BITKOM)); Dr. David Vasak (PA Consulting Group Frankfurt/M.)
Abstract:	Outsourcing IT to specialized providers 'off-shore' has become an important option for many western companies for maintaining or improving their competitiveness. The vast majority of those specialized IT providers are located in Asia, especially in India. Relatively little is known though about the Russian IT provider market. To provide IT decision makers with deeper insights, this article provides the necessary theoretical foundations as well as practical information about the Russian IT provider market based on extensive market research and project experiences.
