New York, April 5, 2007 - DataArt, a high-end software outsourcing
company, announced expansion of its development facilities with the
opening of a new R&D center at the University of Kherson, in the southern
Ukraine.
The company's third development facility will handle projects in all core
competencies of DataArt, including .NET and Java, and will employ over 30
engineers by the end of the year. The University of Kherson was selected
for its tradition of academic excellence and advanced IT and
telecommunications infrastructure. 8,000 students attend Kherson
University, taught by more than 300 professors and 18 academics.
"Kherson was an ideal place for opening a sophisticated R&D center," said
Michael Zaitsev, CEO of DataArt. "The enormous potential of engineering
students and their thirst for challenging projects was a perfect match for
DataArt's demand for skillful development force."
"By opening a facility in Kherson, DataArt took the first steps in turning
the region into the Silicon Valley of the Ukraine," said Alexander
Spivakovsky, Vice-Rector of Kherson University. "We are happy that our
talented engineering students don't have to leave the region to find
quality employment."
DataArt's engineering force has been growing at 40% a year. The office in
Kherson is the second R&D office opened by DataArt in the last year.
Voronezh facility grew to 50 people during that time, and the main St.
Petersburg facility currently employs over 250 people.
