While some software companies simply partner with an offshore provider, Softeq has its own wholly owned offshore company located in Minsk, Belarus.
Our offshore company in Minsk is called Softeq Development, FLLC (ИООО "Софтек Девелопмент"). Our custom software development company has an experienced staff that specializes in custom, technical software development. Our teams have mastered all major programming languages and technologies: C, C++, C#, Java, .Net , as well as Windows, Unix/Linux, embedded, and database based technologies. |

Mastering the art of execution with offshore development takes experience, knowledge and talent. There are numerous stories of companies getting burned by developers in far off countries. Softeq has figured out the right balance of having a team headquartered in the U.S. and leveraging talented offshore resources. |

One of the first questions we get asked is, Why did you create a business in Minsk? We selected Minsk because:
| ■ |
Minsk was the center of Soviet research, so it has a concentration of highly educated professionals |
| ■ |
Minsk has many universities and a strong educational system, providing a constant source of new candidates |
| ■ |
Although Russian is the primary language, many are fluent in English as well. Nearly everyone on our offshore development teams speak fluent English. |
| ■ |
The Belarus government is IT-friendly, fostering the IT industry through their High Tech Park initiative |
| ■ |
Belarus laws encourage longer term employee commitments, in contrast to other countries where job-hopping has become problematic |
| ■ |
The Belarussian people are friendly and hard working |

After we answer the question of Why, it is usually followed closely by Where exactly is Minsk, anyway?
The country of Belarus is located in Eastern Europe, which makes it very convenient to travel from the UK or communicate within the European timezone.
Minsk is GMT+2, only one hour difference from Frankfurt and two hours difference from London and the UK.
Minsk is the largest city in Belarus. |
