112Hub launches AI-powered tool to help companies pick the best IT Outsourcing destinations

• 112Hub is responding to the growing demand for smarter outsourcing solutions, particularly from the U.S. and Europe.
• Romania is among the region’s most competitive IT outsourcing markets, driven by lower costs, a skilled workforce, and solid technical expertise.
• Poland is the region’s main competitor, with a larger IT sector and closer economic ties to Germany.

Romanian startup 112Hub has unveiled Culturator for Outsourcing, an AI-driven platform designed to help companies identify the most strategic locations for IT outsourcing. The tool responds to the rising global demand for smarter outsourcing solutions, particularly from U.S. and European companies looking for cost-effective, culturally compatible, and reliable alternatives.

The platform assesses more than ten factors, including cost, technical expertise, digital infrastructure, and intellectual property protection. Based on these factors, it ranks the top three outsourcing destinations, scoring them on a 1-to-10 scale.

Companies using Culturator for Outsourcing can enter specific criteria such as required IT skills, programming languages, team size, seniority levels, and budget. The AI then generates tailored recommendations, cutting down research time and providing a clearer picture of cultural fit, expertise levels, and cost advantages.

“In today’s complex outsourcing landscape, companies need clear, data-driven insights to make informed decisions,” said Lucian Ghinea, CEO and co-founder of 112Hub. “Our platform goes beyond cost analysis, factoring in technical expertise, cultural compatibility, and infrastructure quality. By offering a structured comparison of outsourcing destinations, it helps businesses identify the best options.”

Romania Ranks Among Top IT Outsourcing Markets in Eastern Europe
Romania remains a strong contender in the IT outsourcing space, competing with Poland, Ukraine, and Bulgaria. With lower costs than Western Europe, a well-educated workforce, and expertise in sought-after technologies, Romania continues to attract companies looking for software development talent.

Poland, the region’s main competitor, boasts a larger IT ecosystem and closer economic ties with Germany. Meanwhile, Ukraine offers advanced technical skills at lower costs but faces ongoing geopolitical challenges.
112Hub is responding to the growing demand for intelligent outsourcing solutions as U.S. and European companies look for more efficient and secure ways to delegate IT operations.

Alongside Culturator for Outsourcing, the company has also introduced Culturator for CVs, an AI-powered tool that analyses job applicants’ résumés, assigning scores for technical skills and cultural compatibility.
