Russia’s deepening service delivery expertise and rich talent pool have made the country a research factory for top organizations like Intel, IBM, Motorola, Samsung and Google. Being a part of the Eastern European outsourcing region has also enabled Russia to collectively share the niche service characteristic for the offshoring and outsourcing industry.

Notably, St. Petersburg is among established top 5 outsourcing cities in the areas of engineering services and health-care services, holds the 1 st place among the top 5 established R&D outsourcing centers and is mentioned among the top emerging cities in the area of product development. The report adds: “The educational structure of St. Petersburg is capable of generating skills required to develop the city as one of the most potential outsourcing cities for product development.” http://microsites.globalservicesmedia.com/research/show.article.asp?5C57115D5957115E Ulyana Bashkina Wed, 14 Oct 2009 00:00:00 GMT The conference is dedicated to practical aspects of Agile software development.
