StarSoft Development Labs: Silver Sponsor of the Russian Software Industry's Major Event of the Year
Jun 07, 2005
St. Petersburg, Russia – June 7, 2005 – StarSoft Development Labs, a leading Russian software outsourcing provider, will act as a Silver Sponsor and a presenter at the Russian Software and Outsourcing Summit (ROSS-2005) to be held in St. Petersburg on June 15-18.
StarSoft was one of the creators of the first Summit back in 2001, and has since been taking an active part in the work of the Program Committee, helping this forum evolve into the most influential annual event devoted to the Russian software outsourcing industry. Apart from sponsoring the Summit, StarSoft has provided insightful presentations, sharing with the western audience its successes and best practices in offshore engagements with leading international corporations.
StarSoft has earned a reputation for being an avid promoter of the Russian industry in the international software outsourcing arena. In 2001, the company founded the portal, www.russoft.org, which has become the most authoritative source of information on the Web on Russia’s capabilities and advantages as a software outsourcing destination. This portal is now being merged with the official website of RUSSOFT Association, the host and organizer of ROSS 2005, and will from now on officially represent the Russian industry to the world.
"StarSoft has come a long way since last year’s Summit", says Nikolai Puntikov, StarSoft CEO. "We have nearly doubled both our revenues and our personnel. Despite the current tough competition on the local labor market, we have hired over 120 new engineers, and will continue to grow at a fast pace in 2005, as our long-term customers are increasing their business with us. As one of the top software outsourcing companies in Russia, we are grateful for the opportunity to promote the Russian industry through supporting such a momentous forum as this".
At ROSS-2005, Nikolai Puntikov will moderate the panel "World leading CIOs and CTOs discuss the trends and challenges of offshore outsourcing" on June 17. StarSoft will also present on the topic "Alignment and Joint Goals in offshore Engagements" at the panel "Organization of geographically distributed projects. Challenges and success stories" on the first day of the program.
