Fort Myers, USA / December 23, 2009
Company Launches Software Methodology, Opens Global Offices and Wins Industry Accolades
SoftServe, Inc., provider of software consulting, development, testing and lifecycle services to IT decision-makers, today announced the completion of a successful 2009, positioning it for further growth as it continues to expand its roster of leading independent software vendor (ISV) clients. With the launch of its Abiliton™ methodology, expansion of its global headquarters in Ft. Myers, Fla., new quality control center in Manila, Philippines, and high-level recognition from top industry organizations, the company stands positioned for greater success in 2010, delivering best-in-class development services and support for its valued clients.
It was a watershed year for SoftServe, as the company publicly unveiled its unparalleled Abiliton methodology for software development lifecycle management. Beginning with the release of its “People” module, Abiliton changes the way commercial software is developed by employing exactly the right combination of people, process, tools and communication to fit any project. Abiliton People focuses on selecting, training and certifying the best, brightest and most qualified professionals for development projects and instilling a commitment to teamwork and client service in every professional. The Process module optimizes SCRUM methodology for agile development, leveraging distributed teams across multiple time zones to deliver better quality software in a fraction of the time of competing approaches. In the coming year, SoftServe will release the final components of Abiliton, the Tools and Communication modules, completing the recipe for delivering unmatched software to its ISV clients.
In October 2009, SoftServe announced the expansion of its global headquarters in Ft. Myers and the opening of its new quality control center in the Philippines, enabling the company to provide round-the-clock service and support for its clients. The newly established quality control center in the Philippines, in addition to SoftServe’s development resources in Ukraine, gives the company the ability to execute a complete development cycle in which quality control is performed, defects are corrected and quality software is delivered to clients – all within a single 24-hour period. The expansion of its Ft. Myers headquarters further grows the company’s United States presence, which also includes its previously established locations in Newport Beach, Calif., and Boston.
This year, SoftServe was recognized as a leading software development service provider by several U.S. and international industry associations. Global Services and neoIT named SoftServe one of the “Top 10 Leaders in Emerging European Markets.” SoftServe was also recognized by Microsoft as a “2009 Partner of the Year” in Central and Eastern Europe. In addition, SoftServe participated in Microsoft’s BizSpark Incubation Week for Windows Azure in Atlanta.
“This was a banner year for SoftServe’s global growth, and we can only expect greater things in 2010,” said Taras Kytsmey, president, SoftServe. “With the launch of our Abiliton methodology and the opening of new global locations, we demonstrated our commitment to providing clients with the best possible combination of software development. The fact that we have been recognized as a leading software development provider on an international level is only the icing on the cake – the real validation of our success comes from the feedback we receive from our trusted clients.”
In November 2009, SoftServe’s global user conference, SoftServe Innovations, saw its most successful event to date. Held in Bonita Springs, Fla., the conference featured presentations from industry luminaries such as Bob Evans, senior vice president and director of Global CIO, InformationWeek; Johna Til Johnson, president and senior founding partner, Nemertes Research; Omar Hussain, president and CEO, Imprivata; and Paul Hodgetts, founder and CEO, Agile Logic.
