Lviv, Ukraine / Jul 09, 2004
Eleven years have passed since the day when a few people, united
by a key idea, founded SoftServe. A birthday is a time for a party,
so to mark our 11th birthday all our 400 employees from the
Ukrainian development center and the two US offices were invited to
a great outdoor party near a lake.
The company’s top managers addressed our great team,
recalling the history of the company, its successes, and its new
achievements: the growth of SoftServe by more than 200 people
during the last year, the prestigious award of "IT Company of the
Year", and our strengthened cooperation with Microsoft - starting
new projects with the world’s biggest software
corporation.
And then the party was unleashed: everyone enjoyed great food,
famous Lviv beer, and wonderful sunny weather. Our young and active
teams competed in soccer, volleyball, street ball and scout
contests. As usual the biggest challenge was to compete with the
top managers’ team!
Later in the evening the winners of contests received awards
from our President, Taras Kytsmey, and then there was a great
surprise for everyone - the band "Skryabin", well-known in Europe,
appeared on the stage. The wonderful show and performance was the
sweetest birthday present for the SoftServe’s team. After a
show of superior fireworks the day was over, but smiles and a great
mood stayed with us.
This birthday was a fine chance for employees to remind
themselves and each other of the company’s values and of the
fact that SoftServe does something no other company can do - for
the very reason that it has always respected its people and the
idea that unites us.
