2013 EMEA Sponsor profiles
Technology Fast 500™
Ciklum is very pleased to sponsor the UK Fast 50 as it is in line with our core competence to help growing successful technology companies in the UK and across Europe.
Ciklum is a leading supplier of technical personnel and teams, software development and agile business consulting to high growth companies globally. We currently employ more than 2,500 specialists in our offices and technical development centres in Ukraine .
Unlike the traditional project outsourcing model, we help over 200 of our clients establish their own development centres in one of our nearshore development locations where they outsource, completely or partially, their software development. This is the equivalent of having your in-house IT specialists, but for a significantly lower cost and with less administrative nuisances.
