“Last year proved that the German market is set to grow in terms of an increasing number of German companies outsourcing their IT functions. We have had a very successful year of cooperation with our Germany-based clientele in 2006, and expect more customers from this region coming in to use our services with the purpose of both getting access to specific technology skills and reducing costs,” admitted Ekaterina Zabelinskaya, Director, International Business Unit, Reksoft, - “Total IT spending in Germany is forecast by EITO to climb by 3,4% in 2006 with outsourcing being the main growth engine of the market, driven by an increasing search for cost reduction and flexibility. German companies will rely heavily on outsourcing services in 2007 and this fact means that we are in the right place at the right time.”
