Issue
In 2022, Intel 471 faced a challenge no contingency plan fully prepares you for: relocating an entire engineering team from Ukraine to a new country – fast – without losing a single developer or stalling product delivery.
Poland was the right destination: strong tech ecosystem, EU legal framework, proximity to Ukraine, and a culture Ukrainian engineers could adapt to quickly.
Knowing where to go was the easy part. Getting there was not.
No legal entity in Poland. No local payroll. No compliance framework. No time to build any of it from scratch. For a cybersecurity company, every week without a fully functional engineering team is a week the product stands still. That’s not a delay. That’s a risk.
Intel 471 needed one partner with the infrastructure already running in Poland – complete EOR and legal compliance – ready to absorb 20 engineers and get them back to work immediately.
Solution
Alcor had exactly what Intel 471 needed: infrastructure already running in Poland, ready to deploy from day one.
No setup delays, no vendor coordination, no gaps in ownership. Within four weeks, Alcor launched a fully operational R&D center in Poland for Intel 471. A complete Employer of Record package covered everything from B2B contracts and legal compliance with Polish law to full onboarding support.
All 20 engineers were relocated, re-engaged, and back to shipping product without a single disruption to delivery. One point of contact, full operational transparency, and a dedicated success manager available within one business day.
For a cybersecurity company that can’t afford downtime, Alcor turned a high-stakes relocation into a four-week execution.
No drama. No delays. Just a fully operational team on the other side.
