Why Malta
Malta is a prime location for software development outsourcing, thanks to a unique combination of costs and available skills. Many high profile names have been attracted to the island during the Maltese government’s drive to turn Malta into an ICT resource hub; vertical alliances established over the past four years include HP, IBM, Microsoft, SAP and Cisco. All of these companies maintain centres of excellence on the Island.
Malta was recently selected as the location for the first Smart City outside of Dubai. This is expected to attract over 200 world class IT organisations, who will be working in a purpose-built business park.
All of these efforts mean that Malta now boasts a growing local pool of multi-skilled IT professionals. Strong cultural links with Europe and English as a natural language ensure excellent communication and there are high levels of ongoing investment in IT infrastructure.
IT professionals working in Malta are trained to international standards, have a European work ethic and offer all of the following benefits:
- A large and talented resource pool
- An ability to ensure concrete business value
- A proven track record in product and project delivery
- Business and accounting practices matching those in the EU
- Competitive rates
