Abstract

The paper evaluates the compatibility of Russian offshore software development providers with the needs of their foreign customers. The potential of the Russian industry is illustrated through the description of the business practices and models of four offshore software companies. Besides cooperation, the main focus of the study is on the resources and capabilities that Russian companies are able to provide to their customers. Despite the potential of the Russian offshore software industry and the need for resources in Finnish firms, there appears to be a mismatch that is partly originated in the perception of risk rather than actual experiences.
