In Search of the Perfect Outsourcer

What the talk is about

Oleksii Einor explains how Wargaming works with external contractors and what contractors can do to make cooperation more pleasant and productive. Outsourcing is driven by a shortage of resources, the need for outside technology, and quality where the company doesn't specialize, not by savings; security-critical work stays in-house. He describes the process: request and criteria, vendor search, tender, contract agreed before the winner is announced, project support, and feedback collection. Advice for vendors: a clear website showing services, technologies and locations, a structured, current portfolio with real screenshots, and visible contacts. He also covers communication: tidy email threads, reminders of context, prepared meetings, and respecting deadlines. Useful for outsourcing studios.
