Polish programmers among world's elite
Poland's top computer specialists have proven themselves to be among the very best in the world over the last few years, helping Polish universities to outperform international rivals from wealthier countries in some of the most prestigious global IT competitions.
At the time of writing, Poland was ranked third in computer programing competition administrator TopCoder's country rankings, having previously held the top spot. At present, only Russia and China are ranked higher.
The University of Warsaw meanwhile is ranked third in TopCoder's ranking of universities, while Jagiellonian University ranks 22nd and the University of Wrocław 23rd. Of the top 100 individual coders ranked, 15 are Polish.
Earlier in June, a team from Jagiellonian University in Kraków won third prize at the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest in Orlando. There were representatives of 2,070 schools at the tournament. The University of Warsaw won the contest in 2007.
In the Hack4Europe competition held earlier in June, the Poznań University of Technology won in the category which rates the software with the most commercial potential. In December of last year, the Poznań team also won the main competition in the Samsung Global Developer Challenge.
“In the field of computer science we are global giants,” Andrzej Kisielewicz, of the mathematics and computer science departments at the University of Wrocław, told Polish daily Rzeczpospolita .
Poland's international success is particularly remarkable when one considers internet penetration rates – just 58.8 percent of the Polish population had access to the internet in 2009, according to the World Bank. That's compared to 83.2 percent in the UK and 78.1 percent in the US.
Doing business
Polish programming prowess can be measured in dollars and cents. The country's biggest success story in the software sector is Rzeszów-based Asseco Poland – Europe's largest software producer. The company recorded a net profit of zł.415.1 million for full-year 2010, on revenues of zł.3.24 billion.
In May of this year CEO Adam Goral, told Rzeczpospolita that Asseco Poland is attempting to conclude two “very big” acquisitions of European software and information technology service providers. If completed, the acquisitions could double the company's market value making it a “global player,” Mr Goral said, adding that the company may then be re-branded, so that it is simply called Asseco.

ASPIRE | Association of IT & Business Process Services Companies ...
ASPIRE is the first representative body for the IT and Business Process Services in Poland. It is a collaboration between my own organisation South Poland Business Link and the largest BPO and SSC companies in Krakow in the South of Poland. Since 2004, Krakow has established itself as the primary location for global outsourcing and offshoring in Central and Eastern Europe. Approximately 40% of companies operating in the sector in Poland are located in Krakow. The comparison with India is instructive. Whereas India has embraced the sector and worked to establish an environment in which the sector can expand, Poland has by and large been a passive recipient. There are many reasons for this – a certain lack of joined up thinking in investment promotion, a certain bias towards goods rather than services, and perhaps also a sense that the jobs on offer in outsourcing are not really the kind of work we want our graduates to be doing. This is what we want to change. The underlying reason for these attitudes is that Poland, like other countries in CEE, is still going through post-Communist transformation and different sectors of society are moving at a different pace. Aspire aims to play a pivotal role in leading the society into the future, towards an understanding of globalisation and a dismantling of the Berlin Wall of the mind. The centres in CEE serve mainly European clients. Locations such as Krakow offer proximity. Geographical proximity is important – although we tend to think of global services as a virtual business, in fact, there is a real need for partners, customers and providers to meet face to face, and from Krakow you can be with the client anywhere in Europe within 2 to 3 hours. And then there is cultural proximity – I think this can be a little overplayed, but on the other hand, if the requirement is native or near native speakers in Dutch, Portuguese or Finnish you will find these in Krakow. EU accession was also accompanied by adoption of an open sky policy and an explosion in direct, budget flights across European destinations, thereby opening up a number of Polish cities with international airports to European business. The opening of these routes was rather motivated by Poles migrating to other parts of Europe and inward tourism (especially to Krakow) but clearly the outsourcing sector was also a beneficiary.
