Belitsoft explains 2025 trend: Automation testing outsourcing moves to nearshore (Eastern Europe) hubs
Belitsoft has over 20-year history and a proven track record of building dedicated development teams in Eastern Europe. Surveys unveil a suppressing number of IT decision-makers favoring outsourcing to nearshore locations as a cost-cutting strategy. In 2025, many businesses – especially startups and enterprises in the US, UK, and Canada – are transferring their automation testing projects to nearshore tech hubs. Eastern Europe has become the preferred nearshoring hub for UK businesses, while traditional offshore locations like India are steadily losing ground in this market. For example, UK-based customers are discovering that highly qualified developers located just a short flight away can produce better outcomes with fewer hassles.

Belitsoft Releases 2025 Report on Nearshore Outsourcing Software Development Trends
Enterprises across the US, Canada, and the UK hire outsourced software development teams to notably reduce costs and access the global talent pool. CIO surveys find that cost control is a prime priority for enterprises in 2025. Many address that issue by extending their outsourcing direction and pausing some in-house hires. Instead, companies opt for replacing some permanent positions with flexible, vendor-assembled staff. It enables scaling teams up or down according to the work scope and cutting fixed salary overhead. For instance, UK-based corporations extending their in-company IT teams with Eastern European outsourced nearshore engineers typically reduce labour costs by 30% versus hiring in Western European countries. Since nearshore labour harbours now provide sizable “reservoirs” of highly qualified developers, these cost savings are achieved without sacrificing quality.

T.M.R. Tennakoon: Fact of Everything — The R–T Equation
By Dr. T.M.R. Tennakoon Abstract This article introduces the R–T Equation, a theoretical formulation representing the unified interconnection of all layers of existence — from quantum particles to planetary systems, from entropy fields to consciousness. The model captures how recursive transformations, energy-matter fields, symbolic abstraction, and geometric feedback create emergent structure. This formulation aims to mathematically encode the foundational Fact of Everything — that all systems are parts of one dynamic field governed by recursive informational and energetic laws.

H-1B Visas Rule Changes Under Trump in 2025
Trump signed an order (Sep. 19, 2025) that makes companies pay $100,000 for each H-1B visa they use to hire foreign workers. If your employer doesn't pay the $100,000, you can't come in. The State Department and Homeland Security will turn you away. Indians get more than 70% of H-1B visas, Chinese citizens get 10%, and the rest go to experts from Mexico, Canada, Philippines, Taiwan, and Korea. Trump's decisions create uncertainty in business. This supply shock isn't good for the US. However, tech companies agree that America's loss could be Canada's and Europe's outsourcing industry gain.
