/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia has to refuse from outsourcing and produce
own technologies instead, IT experts believe.
"IT-education and creation of new technological companies are declared
as high priority with the Union of IT Enterprises," UITE director
Karen Vardanyan said at Armenian IT industry leaders' forum.
"Working with foreign customers has become disadvantageous," Microsoft
Armenia director Grigor Barseghyan said. "Technological implementation
takes up only 20% of product cost, while idea generation, technology
development and marketing pay at 80%."
"Armenia is engaged in technical implementation only, yet the
situation could change should RA government agree to invest in IT
sphere. Armenia has over 6000 professional software developers; the
government could gain significantly, creating new jobs to receive
more accessible production."
Armenian IT industry leaders' forum, initiated by the Union of IT
Enterprises (UITE) was held February 26-28 in Aghveran. The meeting
focused on the use of IT technologies in finance, transportation,
healthcare and tourism.
