Highly skilled programming teams employed
by American customers started to appear in Russia in early
90s. Since such projects were much better financed than
those in the local market, and the number of teams engaged
in offshore projects was insignificant, these teams accumulated
the most professional Russian specialists. Wizard`s
Guild association (Moscow, Russia) that comprised several
strong software development teams (RPA, Arrow Group, Nagual
Soft, etc) was one of the strongest and better-known organizations
of this type. Wizard`s Guild inherent features were very
high software development standards (coding standards, organization
of developer work, technology for customer relations) at
most similar to American ones.
SoftLogic Group Company
SoftLogic Group was one of the teams that constituted Wizard`s Guild. In 1997 SoftLogic Group left Wizard`s Guild and started its own offshore software development business. SoftLogic Group constantly improves developer work organization, customer relation policy, etc. The experience accumulated while functioning as part of Wizard`s Guild was used as the primary basis, but for two years of its existence SoftLogic Group has produced a much more powerful structure. Quite comprehensive coding standards and the formalized system of employees interrelations have been created, etc. The Company designed its own effective specialist selection system that allowed quickly find professionals for the opening vacancies.
In 1998 due to increase in the number of employees and provided services 3 new departments have been created in the Company: Software Development Department, Software Testing Department and Graphics and Design Department.
Software Testing Department is a powerful testing service that not only attends to the internal needs of the Company, but also services those SoftLogic Group clients who need the Company software testing service.
The projects of Software Development Department are developed in many areas (Win32 development, game development, Internet-based applications development, databases development, image/sound processing, etc). The Company Management closely monitors market opportunities; so, as a result, the number of Internet-based projects increased sharply in 1998-1999. Consequently Software Development Department was subdivided into separate Software Development Department and Internet Development Department.
It became clear in the end of 1999 that Internet based service market was growing extremely fast. Therefore SoftLogic Group began providing Web design and Internet Marketing services (first of all, web site promotion). The number of orders also grew by leaps and bounds; so two additional departments - Web Design and Development Department and Internet Marketing Department - have been created by the Company at the start of 2000. You can read about it in greater detail in Our Structure and Our Departments pages.
Since 1998 SoftLogic Group began the collaboration with other Russian software development companies and groups (mostly those working at the Russian market). The capacity of the Company has sharply increased due to the resources of other firms and teams successfully utilized by SoftLogic Group during implementation of the projects. Since the methodology of work organization is well developed, a project is usually implemented by another company in the same time frame and with the same quality, as if SoftLogic Group specialists did it.
Most companies and groups that successfully collaborated with
SoftLogic Group for a long period of time became practically
the parts of SoftLogic Group; SoftLogic Group is now their
only client, the groups use the same organizational scheme
as within SoftLogic Group, etc. You can read about it in
greater detail in Our
Operational Procedures page.
Thereby, SoftLogic Group is a distributed Internet based company that offers to its clients a very powerful and well-structured resource in the wide range of software development and Web development based services.
SoftLogic Group Customers
During 2.5 years of its existence SoftLogic Group fulfilled the orders of more than 15 clients from USA, Great Britain and Germany (see details at the Our Customers page). Our customers were very satisfied with both the quality of our services (work organization level, technical skills of our specialists) and our prices.
SoftLogic Group specialists were engaged
in the projects in very diverse fields. Here is the partial
list of our implemented projects: data backup technology
(for Connected
Place Ltd.), complex software for alarm system (for
Spectrum Research Inc.),
several software products for digital picture processing
that are currently supplied with Ricoh cameras (for Thought
Guild Inc.), online casino, etc. We designed and currently

You can acquaint yourself in greater detail with the implemented projects at the Representative Projects page. Be aware that due to the contracts signed with some of our clients we are not at liberty to disclose any information concerning the implemented projects. Therefore, Representative Projects page contains only data we are authorized to publish.
Many clients gradually enlarged the volume of work to be outsourced to SoftLogic Group specialists; and for some clients SoftLogic Group became the only offshore partner in software development.
One of such clients is Connected Place Ltd., London, UK.
This company develops an intricate next generation technology for data backup. Connected Place collaborated with SoftLogic Group since 1997, and in 1999 most of the work was done within SoftLogic Group.
In the end of 1999 the managements of SoftLogic Group and Connected Place decided to establish joint venture iDeveloperNetwork Ltd.
iDeveloperNetwork
iDeveloperNetwork Company was created in January, 2000. The company comprises the whole infrastructure of SoftLogic Group (developer teams, Moscow main office, etc), and also the infrastructure of Connected Place Company (office in London, office in San Francisco, etc).
iDeveloperNetwork has somewhat extended the number of services offered to clients. Now the clients can also interact directly with Project Managers located in USA/UK; therefore the collaboration process became more comfort for a client.
