A few urban areas of the former Communist bloc are transforming into outsourcing centers for corporations in the U.S. and Europe.
Fillip Pejfar works in a sparkling new office tower here on the western edge of the Czech capital, using high-resolution scanners to enter accounting material into the computing systems of Accenture, the global business consulting group.
Mr. Pejfar’s bookkeeping is not helping Czech clients. His expertise is meant for companies like the French chemical giant Rhodia and the big German software group SAP.

The Czech Republic and other Central European countries like Poland, Hungary and Slovakia are clamoring to serve the needs of multinational corporations — and themselves.
