R&D, Research and Development

Challenge

Russia has a long and distinguished history in science and technology. Russia launched the world's first space capsule-Sputnik in 1957. It followed with a spectacular launch of another major telecommunication satellite. Russian researchers and scientists developed one of the first versions of an electronic computer. Currently, Russian science continues to produce new inventions in emerging high-technology areas such as navigation, space exploration, aviation, thin-film, laser optics, bio-technology, manufacturing of crystals and advanced materials, and information technology.

More than two million people work in over 4,500 R&D centers throughout Russia, of which at least one million are researchers and scientists, which is far more than in any other country in the world. Some R&D centers are extremely large and complex, with thousands of active researchers focusing on unique specialties. Several Russian R&D centers are collaborating with DataArt using the company as an extended R&D team.

With a significant R&D heritage, innovative ideas, one of the world's best educational systems and the largest pool of highly qualified software engineers and researchers, Russia is an ideal destination for outsourcing of complex software engineering and R&D projects. The country is regarded as a key outsourcing provider by major American and European companies, such as Boeing, Bechtel, Microsoft, Intel, Motorola, IBM, Sun Microsystems and many others, running and expanding their innovative R&D centers in Russia.
