GROUP MARKETING PLAN

Executive Summary INTESYS Group is a service provider company. Unlike product development companies, we are positioning our service expertise, knowledge and cost-effectiveness.

Outsourcing leads to opportunities and benefits in terms of productivity, prices, profits and wages for various stakeholders. Outsourcing is a natural evolution of how the global marketplace operates today and follows successful waves of economic transformation in the past. INTESYS Group is in a dynamic process of expansion and continuously widening its customer base worldwide. This year a special focus and strategic priority is placed on entering the US market.

Review of the IT environment in Armenia

1

Armenian information technology industry with its software and services segment has been one of the most dynamic and promising sectors of the economy in the last decade. Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Armenia was considered a leading IT and electronics center with more than a dozen of large R&D institutes and manufacturing companies as of 1985. After the break up of the USSR by the end of the 1980s, the sector witnessed significant crisis, which, however, has been overcome as new companies evolved in the mid-1990s. Starting from around 1997, the industry received a new impulse for growth when a number of start-ups emerged in the local market and several western companies established development centers in Armenia. By 2006, the number of operating IT companies has reached around 150 which represent nearly 20% growth during 1998-2006. In 2000, the Government of Armenia declared development of information and communication technologies as one of the priorities for the Armenian economy, which followed by the creation of the ICT Master Strategy and ICT development implementation plan to establish Armenia as a regional ICT hub. Armenia has been chosen as an offshore development destination by the foreign companies partly because of its inexpensive and highly productive labor. However, due to low supply of qualified specialists and appreciation of the local currency (35% in 2003-2006), salary costs have increased sharply over the last 3 years. Total salary costs per one employee have increased from $4,500 to $7,600 or around 70%. Armenia is still can be considered as a low cost outsourcing destination, where salaries are competitive compared to those of most of the major IT outsourcing countries like India, Russia, Israel, Ireland, and China. Nevertheless, economic forces behind the appreciation of Armenian Dram and poor capacity of educational institutions may have considerable negative impact on the cost effectiveness of Armenian software firms and overall competitiveness of the sector.

Forecast Analysis Armenian IT industry has been growing at 30% CAGR from 1998 to 2006. If this trend continuous further, the industry will reach around $250 million in total revenues by 2010. However, during the last three years sector growth was greatly influenced by the appreciation of Armenian Dram. The majority of the companies, for example foreign branches, operate as cost centers or cost-based outsourcers / customized developers. Consequently, company revenues are considerably affected by operating expenses, which are incurred primarily in local currency. While nominal growth of the industry in 2003-2006 was 30%, Armenian Dram appreciated at approximately 12% CAGR. Thus, actual growth considering fluctuations in exchange rate would be presumably somewhere around 20%, which corresponds to $170 million in sector revenues by 2010. Two growth scenarios are identified: pessimistic and optimistic. Pessimistic scenario assumes that 2003-2006 growth in workforce (12%) and 1: This market research is implemented and copyrighted by EIF (Enterprise Incubator Foundation).

GROUP MARKETING PLAN productivity (exchange rate adjusted 9%) will stay intact. By 2010, workforce will reach around 6,500 specialists and industry will generate nearly $180 million in revenues. At the same time, increased shortage in qualified specialists, negative comparative productivity growth rates, and increased operating costs will make Armenia less attractive for foreign companies in terms of starting new IT businesses, thus contributing to a further decline in industry growth rates. Optimistic scenario assumes that workforce will grew at a higher rate (20%), and average productivity growth rate will be around 12%. In this case, by 2010, workforce will reach around 9,000 specialists and industry will generate nearly $260 million in revenues.

Financial services firms most actively outsource secondary systems such as human resources and marketing applications, but they also indicated a greater level of comfort in entrusting core systems to the outsourcing process: 35% of US mid-to-large level financial service companies said they will increase the outsourcing of "strategic/primary" applications (IDC). ° Outsourcing strategies are evolving toward a multi-vendor approach. There will be a steady shift to "multi-sourcing" as firms not only outsource more activities, but use offshore providers more frequently to complement their domestic outsourcing arrangements.

GROUP MARKETING PLAN INDePT methodology is a proprietarily designed process structure that is based on best-practices and process framework standards currently available in software industry (FDD, XP, Scrum, RUP). The objective of INDePT methodology is to standardize and formalize the whole process of product life cycle development at INTESYS, so that company easily adapts to changing behavior of requirements in technological projects, as well as provides additional flexibility and efficiency to its customers worldwide. INDePT methodology is agile, incremental and highly iterative. Besides qualitative techniques (iterations, reviews), methodology incorporates also quantitative metrics and procedures (rankings, number of defects, number of features) that enable to evaluate the factual progress of the invested efforts and resources. The overall process, as depicted on above picture, represents a series of spiral circles (process attributes) where each attribute is refined in appropriate iteration. There are six major attributes in the process: Customer Problems, Questions, Functionality, Feature Sets, Features and Metrics. There are five major iterations in a process: Customer Problem Domain Analysis, System Functionality and Objects Analysis, System Design, Prototyping and Object Architecture, Features Partition and Coding and Rollout iterations. As already noted, process attributes are strictly associated with their appropriate iterations.

Overall, methodology consists of four generic phases Analysis, Design, Development and Rollout. Each phase represents a number of iterations with numerous inspections. The main principle of the process is timely communication, visible progress and monitored productivity and efficiency.

Company Productivity and Cost Structure INTESYS Group competitive advantages and competencies enabled the company to move to the higher level of cost-efficiency, more optimal cost-structure, higher profits and increased customer value.

Moving towards efficiency and productivity through standardized and effective processes, wide-range of cost-effective partners and high degree of specialization, enabled the company to decrease the development costs almost twice (4-6 highly qualified resources are 3-4 times more productive than 10-12 average-qualification resources, therefore, with higher invested cost, few highly qualified resources provide much higher productivity, and thus, decrease the overall production costs). Similarly, by decreasing costs, we increased our profit margin P-C to 40-55% from 25-30%). Through constantly growing successfully completed projects record and positive customer feedback, we are able to charge price premium in already established niche, and decrease the price (through lowered development costs) upon entering new niche, where cost sensitivity is high or competition is highly fragmented with no major differentiator rather than the cost. Through high degree of technological expertise, different geographical locations that made possible to support our customers more productively and timely, we managed to bring higher degree of customer surplus (V-P) and position the company as an efficient value provider (V-C) in the market segments that we entered. Our business model in combination with our business and operational level strategies is presented below:
