November 29, 2004If you have decided to outsource offshore, you have probably asked yourself two questions: what are the benefits of the chosen offshore area, and what are the possible drawbacks of choosing a particular country? We at DataArt realize these questions are very difficult for consumers to answer. We have, therefore, made an attempt to help outsourcers by providing some useful information on Russia. At our newly created site, you can compare Russian benefits and review a list of competitive Russian outsourcing companies.
The launch of such a site seems to be very timely indeed. For while DataArt was working on its idea to address the challenges and advantages of Outsourcing to Russia, the consortium of RUSSOFT and Fort-Ross Associations also created a new site dealing with the same issues!

Secure Media Delivery project successfully completed
November 23, 2004DataArt has just finished a project for Secure Media Delivery. This new client, located in Denver, has developed a community-driven media distribution system to provide a new way of sharing music on the internet. DataArt has developed the Java-based web application that provides this new service.
While working on this project, the DataArt Java Department used not only the Struts framework that facilitates the creation of the Model 2 MVC applications (where the business logic is separated from the presentation layer), but also its extension STXX that gives the further level of abstraction for the presentation layer and allows the replacement of JSP pages with XML/XSL transformations.
Both DataArt and Secure Media Delivery are pleased with the project and cooperation is likely to continue.
BCT Project Completed
November 22, 2004DataArt is happy to announce that as the BCT project finishes, a new stage of customer support is beginning. The work for BCT involved development of a complicated Variable Data Printing application. DataArt developed the high performance client-server application, which provides graphical information rendering, with the Adobe platform.
The DataArt development team successfully delivered a high quality product with very complicated custom requirements.
DataArt president Eugene Goland, after recently visiting the BCT Headquarters, said, "It was good to visit BCT and talk with the company's top management. We were also glad to find out that BCT evaluated our work to be technically quite challenging, and that the current stage of the project is marked as a success."
We look forward to future relationships and prospects in the area of Variable Data Printing application development.
DataArt Reflects New Trend in Outsourcing
November 21, 2004"While the furor over offshoring may have focused on India, customers need look no farther than DataArt to see that South Asia doesn't have a monopoly on IT outsourcing," says Anne Krishnan of the Research Triangle Park magazine, The Herald-Sun.
In the article, devoted to outsourcing white-collar jobs overseas, DataArt is mentioned as a successful offshore outsourcing company with a development center based in St. Petersburg. The article also takes notice of DataArt utilizing Russian programmers' broad education in math and science to develop custom software and perform local project management for constant and hassle free communication with customers. In this analysis of outsourcing tendencies, DataArt is used as an antithesis to the popular opinion that outsourcing automatically equals India or China.
DataArt feels honored to be recognized as a remarkable company providing outsourcing services.
