Why you should spend this weekend in Odessa

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

Three important events are going to take place in Odessa this weekend.

On Friday representatives of our mobile development department will visit Mobile developer day to hear about mobile development and QA technologies, usability and monetization of mobile apps. You can learn more about the program here.

On Saturday we plan to visit IT Jam - informal gathering of IT specialists, where we will attendmaster-classes of our colleagues and just enjoy communication. This event is the largest, that’s why it’s so interesting to be there.

On Sunday we’re going to OdessaCamp, where we expect to learn something new about SEO, social media marketing and industry trends from businessmen, bloggers and developers.

As you can see, every IT specialist  can find something useful for himself  this weekend in Odessa. So see you there!

IT outsourcing is about trust

IT outsourcing is about trust

Security software developer Lieberman software released an interesting research on IT outsourcing company’s client’s satisfaction. It’s not a secret that the main motive for delegating some part or even all IT tasks to an outsourcer is economy of resources, and especially - opportunities for cost reduction. And the survey showed that a surprising 77% of respondents believe that their outsourcers have made up work to earn extra money.

Only 38% respondents claimed that outsourcers had met the cost-saving projections mapped out in contracts. 27%  said the deals cost “significantly more than planned,” compared to 11% who said outsourcing actually saved more money than their companies expected. But the huge 77% distrust is really surprising.

Is SaaS Office Safe?

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

Is software as a service (SaaS) office safe? We get this question a lot and the SaaS office most often asked about is Google Apps for Business and Microsoft Office 365. This security concern reflects in our research numbers: Fewer than 18% of organizations are planning to deploy SaaS office but nearly twice as many companies are evaluating.

So, is SaaS office safe? There is no clear yes or no answer; the answer depends on relative risk versus in-house operations. Really, the right question to ask is, “Does SaaS office put me at greater risk and if so, can I justify this increased risk?”
