EPAM
Systems and Luxoft – two best service providers from the Eastern Europe - will
both be Silver Sponsors of the Summit!
Two
competitors and leaders of the Russian speaking software development Community
will be sponsoring the Summit this year. It became a good tradition
that ROSS evokes more and more interest from Russian outsourcing service
providers who take opportunity of promoting their services and brands at the
Summit.

 
ITCI
will sponsor the Panel devoted to the problems and opportunities of software
development outsourcing for financial organizations (banking, insurance,
currency exchange, rating agencies, etc.).

One
of the leading outsourcing service providers for the financial sector – IT
Consulting International – will sponsor the panel where global customers from
financial markets and leading Russian service providers will discuss ways of
effective cooperation.
 
Nordic participation in ROSS 2005 is becoming
more and more solid. Swedish Trade Council intends to bring a team
composed of 50+ CEO and CIO from Swedish IT companies for participation in the seminar over IT outsourcing
opportunities for Swedish companies. KarelTeck (an IT Park from Finland) will bring an important
delegation of Finish businessmen from the Mobile Communication sector who are
willing to learn about opportunities of work with Russian service
providers.
 
Both
delegations will take part in the SoftTelco Conference which was moved from
April 1, 2005 to
dates of ROSS 2005 in order to be included into the Program of the
Summit. Up to
100 participants of SoftTelco will enjoy an intensive program of  Panels’ and Roundtable discussions over
software development projects for Telecom - both in mobile and stationary
communications.
 
This
year Summit will
witness a so much anticipated dialogue between Russian software development
Community and Community of Russian natives who got solid positions among
international IT vendors and investors.
Alexander Galitsky from EuroTour will bring to the
Summit a team of
prominent Russian natives who became IT personalities in the West. Top managers
from Google, Intel Capital and Vector Capital will share their views over
opportunities and challenges of investments in the Russian software development
market.
