  helps to quick start projects, protection of
  investment, long-term relationship, mutual
  rapport building and a lower learning curve.

  professionals being aware of the clients
  standards and procedures ensures adherence to
  standards. The overall business knowledge of the
  client helps in understanding of client
  applications.

  branch of your business in Russia, DDC does not
  require any long-term commitments or up-front
  investments. But it saves you from a continuous
  headache about incorporation issues, legal fees,
  payroll, and legal compliance, long-term office
  leases.
• Full Operation Control You manage your DDC as
  if it were your local IT division. You have your
  development schedules and deliverables, which
  your DDC team adheres to.
• Reasonable Expenses You pay only for what you
  need and use there are no hidden wasteful
  expenses. You are not paying for any overheads or
  administrative costs associated with establishing
  a DDC.

  very custom - friendly pricing practice with no
  hidden costs. You can choose among a variety of
  pricing models to suit your needs best.
• Infrastructure Companies often face the space
  crunch during the expansion process due the
  non-availability and cost of the same. The advent
  of Internet has made distance a non-issue
  especially in a low cost country like Russia.
