Testimonials

SimbirSoft Ltd has participated in ACS Motion Control Ltd’s pilot project and was selected as one of the sub-contractors for developing different components under the unified environment of the Next Generation MMI project based on modern UI design and latest Microsoft .NET technologies. Since this would involve an extended period of cooperation, we anticipated a professional, well-organized and experienced team of software developers guided by an assertive team leader with whom we could establish simple and clear relationships along with planning and team management processes of high quality. The main evaluation criteria of the pilot project was the ability of the sub-contractor to successfully complete the project within the given timeframe and budget, by exactly following our development process. And we're very glad to say that our cooperation with SimbirSoft’s team has fully lived up to our expectations and the project was a complete success. We're pleased with the product quality and the team's attitude both to the development process and to the final product itself. We're going to continue our collaborative work in the upcoming projects and would recommend the team to the others looking for professional team of software developers.

PROBLEM:

ITLAND SOFTWARE has been developing the distributed application development environment allowing:
