RE3W Software Developed by SoftServe Featured at Microsoft's Media Event. Ukrainian Developer Incorporates Windows Live Technology

Bill Gates previewed Microsoft's two new Internet-based software services. As part of Microsoft's media event, RE3W introduced its new real estate application incorporating Windows Live. The RE3W application was developed in Ukraine by SoftServe, a leading Eastern European software development company. RE3W simplifies and accelerates the transaction process, enabling customers to see properties they want to investigate and manage. SoftServe's project team recommended building on Microsoft.NET platform to bring the application to market faster and provide better services to RE3W's customers.

In its interview to Microsoft PressPass, Richard Frost, the RE3W founder and CEO, shared his impressions on SoftServe's high-quality work on the RE3W application development:

"When I started the company about five years ago, it was pretty clear that finding outside development resources for RE3W would be the most effective path. That's what led me to SoftServe, which is based in Lviv, Ukraine. SoftServe is a Microsoft Gold Partner, and its people are very intelligent, so I completely trusted their recommendation that we develop RE3W on the .NET platform - even though it was a new and emerging technology at the time. They also made a convincing case that adopting a full-fledged Microsoft technology environment for our business was the right way to go. Those were two of the best decisions we've made..."

Taras Vervega, SoftServe Vice President for Sales and Marketing, said:

"We're very excited to play a critical role bringing this service to market using the Microsoft.NET platform. It's an example of SoftServe's 'whatever it takes' work ethic to deliver superior software to clients exactly when they need it on budget. That gives them and SoftServe a competitive edge in the fast-moving software development industry."

Having architected and developed a sophisticated application that was showcased on Microsoft's major event, is a tacit acknowledgement of SoftServe's in-house development expertise and wide experience in providing high-quality services to clients and partners worldwide.
