Outsourcing Specialist SperaSoft Celebrates Five Years in Silicon Valley

SperaSoft, the Silicon Valley outsourcing specialist providing high-value, project-dedicated development teams based in Russia, today celebrated its fifth anniversary in “Silicon Valley,” California’s famous high-tech research, development and production area running from San Jose north. The firm has grown steadily since its founding, almost doubling in growth year over year. To accommodate this growth, the firm recently augmented its St. Petersburg development center with a second production facility in a separate technology center in Russia.

SperaSoft also recently expanded from pure outsourced programming services to complete software design and production for clients, including product life cycle support from initial conceptualization, architecture and design to core product development, quality assurance and support. These services are seeing increased demand as companies adapt to the challenges of today’s economy. Gartner recently predicted outsourcing demand will continue to grow in the near future and SperaSoft has highly trained, stable teams positioned in Russia to meet this demand.

We’re proud of the solid engineering and development teams we’ve put together in Russia under our Silicon Valley management, said Igor Efremov, founder and CTO at SperaSoft. Our software development methodology is now fully polished and we’ve moved up the chain to quite expanded services. Last year we entered game development, opened a new Spera Studio subsidiary and gathered teams of tremendously talented digital artists and game developers. Now we’re right in the middle of a very dynamic development area specialty. Furthermore, we recently completed a large project helping a major client create a new mobile software platform. It has all been tremendously exciting for us.

Our entire staff can feel justly proud of what we’ve accomplished, added Alexei Kudriashov, founder and CEO. Together, we built SperaSoft up from ground zero, tapping our management team’s long experience at major hi-tech companies in the Valley to create an approach that ‘does it right’ when clients need outsourcing. We’ve eliminated the offshoring industry’s main pain points with our approach and, as it happens, when demand started to rise steeply last year, we were already positioned and ready to service new clients without delay. It has worked to everyone’s advantage. I am personally delighted that so many first-rate technology companies have responded positively to our vision.

The SperaSoft approach is based on rigorously selecting only the best offshore candidates as employees and assembling them into teams that remain stable through the life of a project. Eliminating the staffing flux typical of offshore vendors does away with learning-curve mistakes, false starts and unbudgeted costs. Work does not get mired down in the problems unstable teams cause, so projects come in on time and on budget. As a double benefit, team stability pulls the best candidates, who now vie for SperaSoft’s positions in Russia. Those who are accepted build very close working relationships with the firm’s client companies, who are among the best in the industry.

Adds Kudriashov, We’ve started another great year and 2009 is already bringing us fascinating new projects in both software engineering and game development. Our teams in Russia are fully engaged, having just delivered a key milestone in a major mobile platform project, and we continue to see heightened demand for the team’s special skills in other innovative new projects.
