Visio company (Gartner Group), Fort-Ross consortium, the largest

outsourcing orders. A cumulative list of the largest clients of the
Ukrainian companies, among which are such companies as Xerox,
Microsoft, Deutsche Telecom, European Aeronautic Defense and Space

factors.

creation of permanent platform for continuation of such
meetings.
Secondly, participants of the "Adonis" project offered the
Ukrainian Association of Software Development help in the issue of
funding the organization of annual international forum and called
