“With the increasing attention turned to Russia, given the region’s proven track record for high quality software outsourcing, RUSSOFT Forum 2007 is the must-attend event for buyers looking to meet all the leading industry players from the diverse and vibrant Russian vendor community in one place,” said Valentin Makarov, President, RUSSOFT. “If you are already considering outsourcing to Russia, this forum is your unique opportunity to interview vendors, conduct site visits, learn first-hand about trends from industry thought leaders, and greatly advance your selection process.”
According to Makarov, the Forum is explicitly set up to help companies that are driven to diversify their sourcing portfolios to spread risks and look beyond Bangalore for specific value offerings that their businesses need to stay competitive and succeed. “Everyone from corporate management and sourcing and purchasing executives to IT program managers and human resources professionals are encouraged to come to this event”, said Makarov. “Besides, you will get a chance to enjoy St. Petersburg, one of the world’s most beautiful cities, during the magnificent White Nights season.”
The main RUSSOFT Forum program will feature presentations by prominent industry analysts and thought leaders who will discuss the Russian outsourcing industry’s key value proposition and advantages by citing real-world case studies and experience reports from existing clients of leading Russian outsourcers.
