AT Software
The AT Software CEO Leonid Belyaev participated in the conference and found out how to integrate globalization concerns with the software development process. This year annual European meeting of the Localization Industry Standards Association (LISA) was dedicated to convergence of globalization services and outsourced application development. AT Software’s interest was primarily in assessing common trends in both industries, as well as networking and partnership opportunities. The integration process will bring IT companies invest in outsourcing services together with leading providers of traditional localization services and software development from the region. The participation in the LISA Forum Europe enabled companies to discuss the topics that impact global business today:
• Becoming a global company. How can companies integrate development and globalization efforts?
• Globalization in Central/Eastern Europe. How can companies succeed in the region? What does it have to offer developers?
• Making strategic sourcing work. What are the best practices for strategic sourcing of globalization and development?
• Web 2.0. How are Web 2.0 models (crowdsourcing, Sofware as a Service, web services) transforming globalization and software development?
• Assuring success. How can companies assess and ensure success?
This forum was addressed to localization business issues, specific to the region's outsourced applications development industries. Special attention was given to language and translation technologies in software development. Attendees included corporate executives, international managers, enterprise globalization strategists, international product managers, knowledge managers, global web development specialists, project managers, and globalization services managers. The event was useful for global providers who are actively engaged in making the convergence of global product development and globalization services and who are concerned about future globalization market trends.
AT Software CEO, Leonid Belyaev, has commented the event: “Both customers and vendors were present at the conference. The most interesting and useful discussions were around globalization, global delivery models for services companies, building strategic and transformational relationships with the customer. Thanks to the Forum, I’ve reconfirmed my opinion about the future of software development industry. It is in building companies’ value propositions around customers, as well as in ability to quickly form partner ecosystems targeted at solving specific customer problems”
