Outsourcing benefits
Developing a team designing electronics requires substantial amount of time, even more than for a software team. The main reason for that is the nature of the hardware design process. You cannot debug, carry out tests or introduce new features that easily. Furthermore, the environment for which the product is designated is much more sophisticated than in the case of software. The production process requires high quality. The product has to fulfill certain norms.
For the reasons mentioned above, electronics development is outsourced very often. The
benefits of outsourcing can be summed up in the following points:
- Significant cost reduction
- No need to build a manufacturing network
- No need to recruit and train new employees
- No administration and HR management costs
- Fast and easy access to professionals in a specific field
Why Poland ?
Many companies are outsourcing their electronics production to the Far East. But it is Poland that guaranties a
balance between cost reduction and retaining control over the process itself. Similar culture and just above 2 hours flight proximity from any place in Europe make Poland a comfortable nation to communicate with.
Outsourcing
partner proximity simplifies communication greatly. Poland is at most 2 hours ahead or back in terms of time zone in reference to European and Middle East countries.
Because of
Polish engineers skills many world top companies have open research centres in Poland, i.e. Motorola, IBM, Delphi, TRW, Google, Rockwell, Siemens, Hewlett-Packard, Samsung. Many companies decide to move their manufacturing facilities to Poland.
