RUSSOFT
RUSSOFT, headquartered in Saint-Petersburg, is a multi-national association of software companies from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. It was founded on September 9, 1999 and has merged with the Fort-Ross Consortium in May 2004. Today RUSSOFT unites more than 80 companies with 7000+ of highly qualified programmers and software engineers with advanced graduate level degrees in Technology & Computer Science. RUSSOFT cooperates with the leading Universities which form the unique human potential of Russia.
Similarly to Indian NASSCOM, RUSSOFT was created to represent Russian software development companies on the global market, to enhance marketing and PR activities of its members, and to lobby their interests in their countries' governments.
Members of RUSSOFT are companies meeting certain requirements of size and experience and paying an annual fee. Companies may be either full or associate members.
RUSSOFT is a part of the Russian Information and Computer Industry Association (APKIT) where it plays the role of Software Development and Export Committee. Being a part of APKIT enhances RUSSOFT's abilities to lobby the Government to support the IT industry.
