Austria’s ICT market is projected to grow from ~USD 21B in 2026 to over USD 28B by 2031.
The talent pool isn’t growing at the same pace.
With software engineer salaries ranging from EUR 53,000 to 83,000 a year and senior profiles hard to find, more Austrian companies are asking the same question: build in-house, or bring in a partner?
Our new guide breaks down IT outsourcing for Austrian businesses:
→ Onshore vs. offshore vs. nearshore: what you actually trade off
→ Which services companies outsource most (custom development, QA, DevOps, cybersecurity, managed services)
→ The real risks: GDPR, IP ownership, language and quality control
→ How to choose a partner, from time-zone overlap to pilot projects
Our take: nearshore teams offer the best balance of cost, real-time collaboration and compliance. A team of 2–5 engineers can typically be onboarded in 2–4 weeks.
The best first step is a well-defined pilot project, not a long-term contract.
