According to recently published IDC Romania new study:  “Romania IT Services Market 2014–2018 Forecast and 2013 Vendor Shares” :

– In 2013, the Romanian IT services market expanded marginally in U.S. dollar terms year on year to a value of $510.12 million, due to a slight improvement of the country’s economy.

– The systems integration category accounted for the largest share of IT services revenue, followed by hardware support and installation, and software support and installation. The combined outsourcing category comprised 15.1% of the IT services market in the country in 2013. The outsourcing macromarket posted the highest growth rates of any macromarket in Romania in 2013. The reluctance of Romanian companies to use services delivered by a third party is changing, and new, successful partnerships are emerging. Demand for third-party hosting services is increasing, with service providers investing in new datacenters or expanding existing sites.
