Key Things About Offshoring SAP ABAP Development
Why big tech offshores SAP ABAP development
Amazon, Google, IBM, and Microsoft have expanded into Latin America and Eastern Europe. This trend is global: 80% of executives held or even grew outsourcing budgets in 2025, while 57% already rank nearshore hubs in LATAM & CEE above traditional offshore options. No wonder 65% of companies that outsource pick Central & Eastern Europe.
Offshoring tech development saves the day, and here is why:
- Deficit of US talent to meet the demand. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a shortage of 1.2 million software developers by 2026. With demand rising, 87% of tech executives see the talent gap as their top challenge.
- Mounting expenses to hire US programmers. Between January 2018 and January 2024, the median base pay for software developers in the U.S. rose by 24%. Costs climb with expertise: hiring a tech C-level runs $238,000 to $288,000 annually.
Big tech choose Latin America and Eastern Europe because of:
- Abundant talent. LATAM 2 million and EE 1.8 million offshore tech developers potentially address the US talent gap.
- Affordable costs. Hiring and retaining an tech professional includes annual salaries, recruitment fees, payroll & tax, and benefits. In the United States, software engineers cost tech companies $109,500 to $134,000 annually, while in LATAM and Eastern Europe, average costs are $50,000 to $76,000 and $57,000 to $79,000, respectively. This difference alone cuts expenses by 1.8 to 2.2 times—and with reduced tax burdens in these regions, savings increase even further.
- Acknowledged tech expertise. The most in-demand global spheres are cybersecurity, AI and machine learning, and data science. Latin American and Eastern European offshore tech programmers rank in Coursera’s top for these skills.
Top countries to offshore SAP ABAP development
Let’s take a closer look at the most prominent offshore tech development players in Latin America and Eastern Europe.
In LATAM:
- Mexico boasts the largest talent pool and proudly sits at 3rd place in the innovation index across LATAM, thanks to its government and Microsoft funding AI training for 5 million programmers.
- Argentina is a haven for fintech and e-commerce startups and is #1 in the region for English proficiency.
- Colombia’s JavaScript dominance undeniably solidifies its spot in the top 5 for fintech, e-commerce, and cloud.
- Chile comes in 1st for digital skills, drives AI, cloud, and insurtech, has the 3rd largest regional IT workforce, and proudly sits at 2nd place in UNESCO’s AI Readiness Index.
In Eastern Europe:
- Poland leads with the largest talent pool of offshore tech developers and Europe’s 7th most prominent tech market.
- Ukraine boasts 20+ tech clusters, ranks as a #4 in terms of startup ecosystem value, and is constantly pushing the envelope in DefenseTech and MedTech.
- Romania shines with its $21-billion ICT market and the 6th highest number of certified developers per 1,000 inhabitants globally.
- Bulgaria excels in AI and cybersecurity, drawing attention with its competitive 10% personal and corporate income tax—the lowest in the region.
Your offshore SAP ABAP development center
Alcor’s development center with SAP ABAP-based expertise is a blend of three: tech recruitment, Employer of Record, and full operational support.
Tech recruitment builds you a team of top-10% software engineers in the market. Thanks to our 253K+ database of pre-vetted candidates and 40 expert recruiters, it takes only 8 CVs for one accepted offer and 2-6 weeks to gather a team of 5 Silicon Valley-caliber offshore tech programmers.
Employer of Record removes the hassle of managing HR, payroll, and legal compliance on your own. There’s more: you don’t need to open a legal entity when expanding abroad. Instead, we at Alcor hire offshore tech developers, and you enjoy a top-tier in-house team.
Full operational support provides you with a full-fledged offshore tech development office overseas. Office rent, equipment procurement, insurance provision, and IT support—all taken care of!
Comparison with alternatives
In outsourcing or outstaffing, you get junior or middle-level talent, low loyalty, communication via a third party, and exorbitant fees. Alternatively, you can build an offshore software development team on your own, but conquering a local market with legal and tax differences is no mean feat.
Alcor steps in with expert knowledge in offshore business expansion. Instead of leaving you high and dry in an unfamiliar market, we navigate the complexities of tech recruitment, taxation, and legislation for you. Add in Employer of Record services and full operational support, and an offshore tech development team is at your disposal without opening a legal entity.
Alcor’s software R&D accelerator is an all-in-one solution to expand into Latin America or Eastern Europe and access top-10% tech talent at a fraction of the cost. It’s long-term, scalable, under your control, and without markups.

Alcor’s R&D solution eclipses full-cycle recruitment, EOR service, and operational support for our offshore team. Their ‘all-in-one place’ approach is far more cost-effective than I could’ve imagined.
I value their commitment to going the extra mile. We evolved from an outstaff project into an independent company, and Alcor’s support was crucial. They hired and ondoarded 15+ professionals for us.
Thanks to Alcor, we hired four engineers and a designer that strengthened our team. Beside stellar recruitment, Alcor flawlessly handled our payroll. Their approach was seamless and swift.
Alcor closed our 4 QA positions in a month and more than doubled the team in a year! We chose Alcor because of their communication style, cost, scope of services, and ideas to help us be successful.
Expanding our engineering team outside the US with Alcor was a game-changer! They found 15 talented developers and provided seamless EOR & operational support. Great responsiveness to our needs!

Alcor helped us hire the top 5% of tech talent while building our employer brand. They were proactive, never compromised on quality, and delivered. Three years later, our hires are still thriving!
