RBC named among Russia's leading software developers
Moscow, June 6, 2005. RBC SOFT, an IT subsidiary of OAO RBC Information Systems (RTS, MICEX: RBCI), has been ranked 11th in the iOne-2004 rating of the leading software developers on the Russian IT market.
The 'iOne: Information Technologies' project - an illustrated supplement to the Sekret Firmy magazine and a popular Internet resource - has presented its third rating of Russian IT companies. In the iOne-2004 rating, companies have been ranked using a non-dimensional index, characterizing the scale of their business. The index is primarily determined by the revenue the companies received in 2004, the number of employees, client diversification of business, and the number of affiliates. While comparing software developers, not only revenues from off-the-shelf products were taken into account, but also those from the implementation and support of developed solutions.
The rating's organizers say the openness of Russian companies has improved, and this year 72 companies - all most active IT companies working on the domestic market - have filled in applications to participate in the rating. The organizers believe the problem of data reliability has remained vexed: less than 10% of IT companies have furnished audited financial statements.
"The high efficiency of RBC's business is due to synergies between the media and IT divisions of our company," RBC SOFT General Director Alexey Kuzovkin said while commenting on the rating's results. "RBC's key activities are closely connected and complement each other very well. This is the reason for both the uniqueness of the package of services we offer and the secret of our success," Kuzovkin added.
