Russian teddy-bear in search of free honey market
Leonid Glazytchev
Logrus International Corporation
Russian Economy
Is There the Market at All?
• Russian economy is extremely unhomogeneous
• Maturity levels for different economy sectors are significantly different
• IT is way ahead of the others
Reasons for IT’s Lead
• The most dynamic sector of the economy worldwide
• The most internationally integrated• No rotten roots – young industry• Attracts young and educated people
without political or economic prejudices• Very high level of technical competence
The Two Sides of Russian IT
• Side 1– Speaking the same language– Flexible– Relatively low cost of rank and file labor
• Side 2– Managerial skills usually below expectations– Promises outbalance real capacity/skills– Salaries considerably higher than the country
average. Senior management is convertible, i.e. expensive
Show Us the Data!
• Officially published data is often unreliable
• Most of the data are based on private conversations with top management of major software and hardware distributors, and on Logrus experience
• Internet data supplied by Russian nOn-profit Center for Internet Technologies (ROCIT)

Localization Industry• Didn’t exist 10 years ago
• Mostly very small companies or departments with a single major client
• No reliable revenue statistics
• Continuous turnover of players on the market
• Lack of professionalism on a wide scale
• Approximate gross revenues for FY99: $3 – 4 million (~30% - internal localizations)
• Contradictory and inconsistent data on technical translation market volume
Forecast
- At least now will you tell me intelligibly: Up or Down???
Up
Down
BOTHWAYS
SUMMARY
• S/w and hardware sectors have survived the crisis and give all signs of revival
• Internet is growing rapidly
• For three consecutive years: s/w sales > $100m, computer sales > 1m
• We can expect an upward spiral both in the IT industry and in localization
