The specific Sofia office needs of the IT companies
The companies from the IT and the outsourcing industry, which are looking to rent or to buy office premises in Sofia, have specific needs which with they need to comply with. A great deal of the old office buildings in Sofia are not answering the needs of these modern companies. Yet, the new office projects in Sofia of the highest AA class do provide the right offices, location and facilities needed. The outsourcing companies which are already operating in Bulgaria require 5-7 sq.m on the average for each of their employees working in the call centers. This means a higher capacity of all systems in the office building including better ventilation, more powerful air-conditioning system, more toilets, more places for dining, and of course more parking lots.
The outsourcing companies are paying more attention now to the maintenance of the office, the expenses they have for heating and cooling of the office premises they are renting, the bills for internet, electricity, etc. The other parameters of the building are also of great importance for these companies and they include fast access to the public transport, pleasant working environment, etc. Usually the employees of these outsourcing companies are young people with dynamic life. That is why the offices in Sofia that the companies are looking for should be in communicative areas where they can have social contacts.
