Global IT Professional Network - uniting professionals arcoss the world!

Today, the term Information Technology has ballooned to encompass not only aspects of computing and technology but business fields too. Information technology has been changing the way business is done for more than 20 years, and its role in decision making has catapulted. Investors use IT to learn more about company performance so that they can make better investment decisions. Companies use IT to get information about their costs and their customers so that they can improve performance. Consumers use IT to learn more about products and services so that they can stretch their dollars. Competitors use IT to compare their performance with that of their peers.

Today's most businesses completely rely on technology in performing core business processes with constant desire to improve efficiency through the better using of technology. But while technology has enabled delivery of increasing amounts of information to businesses, it has introduced new complications for IT professionals. As the more technology integrated into business processes the more multi-disciplinary knowledge it requires from IT specialists. Dealing with business process automation means that IT people have to understand business logic itself, which means more interaction with customers and industries where technology operates.

To help IT professionals evolve their skills to meet the changing roles and responsibilities let's create an informational platform tailored to facilitate communication, knowledge sharing and cooperation between professionals from various IT spheres.

I'm very glad to introduce the new professional group on LinkedIn "Global IT Professional Network" designed to connect professionals across the world providing them with a robust platform for communication and cooperation.

Integrating our strengths for reader's benefit

Dear Friends and Readers!



In this entry I'd like to share an information not directly related with the main subject of this blog which is latest news and updates from Information Technology, Software Testing and QA and IT Outsourcing spheres, but the news related to the blog itself and its authors.

As I represent Ukrainian IT outsourcing provider I belongs to IT community and try to keep up with industry evolution. Exploring large amount of information every day I am trying to share most relevant findings with other professionals by providing natural and independent information covering various IT subjects. As my company, Mirasoft Group, was founded in 1989 by the group of scientists of the Kiev Institute of Cybernetics (leading research institute of National Academy of Science where the first computer in continental Europe was built :), it remains the oldest one among East European IT companies employing specialists with more than 20 years of experience in IT sphere. Cooperation with such experts gives me a deep insight on many problems and challenges in IT industry. Attending numerous technical seminars organized by global power-houses and possessing years of software development and testing expertise our experts helping me to cover very actual and complex subjects for today's IT world thereby attracting other respected professionals to join our discussions in world's leading communities and networks (Linkedin, Ecademy, Facebook, Plaxo etc). Receiving such a great support from my technical colleagues I am always so proud to write entries from our whole company, Mirasoft Group, mentioning all professionals stayed behind and contributing to our work.

However, due to recent merger of our company with one well-established European IT Network - Levi9 Global Sourcing we need to integrate and operate under one brand which is already connecting development and testing centers and delivery operations throughout Europe. By uniting with other professionals from various areas under one roof we’ll try to integrate our knowledge and expertise in various technology fields for readers' benefit. Combining our strong expertise in Software Testing with Levi9 Global Sourcing multiple competence knowledge we’ll work hard to keep you updated about latest innovations and software releases and methodologies in Testing and QA areas.

The main focus of our blogs as well as our commitment to provide independent and natural information about IT sector will remain. We just continue to inform you under Levi9 brand – globalization, you know…
