Report on the first day of SEF in Minsk
Today I was on the first day of SEF.
Thanks to one good person, I received an invitation to the forum, which was “lowered to the university administration” (in the sense, to BSUIR) from the Infopark. The forum organizers were at their best: there were a lot of young people around all the time who could always ask about something. In some I recognized the students of my native department :).
The forum program and presentations will be available after it. True, where exactly is not yet clear.
So I will omit the details, I will tell only what interested me.
')
All questions to the content further ask directly to the speakers :). I wash my hands.
The plenary session began with a speech by Arkady Dobkin. For himself, it was a surprise
therefore, his speech consisted mainly of wishes. Looks like it's a minus to the organizers.
Then there was a speech by prof. Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, Advisor to the Chairman of the Board of the NBRB, Dean of the Faculty of Economics of the BSU Kovalev MM
"Minimizing the aftermath of the global economic crisis for the IT services sector." He constantly referred
to reputable international sources whose names I don’t remember. His presentation was motley
table cells, "pies" and columns of diagrams and a set of numbers with different postfixes -
"Billion", "ye" and others. The meaning of the report is that we have created unique conditions for the IT business (and this,
apparently, really), but that its development could move faster.
According to him, a third of the IT services market is the integration of systems (in my opinion,
this figure will grow strongly), a third - custom projects, 19% - support, 12% - outsourcing,
4% - education in IT.
The percentage of IT services for the domestic market lags behind the world average in 9. Although in recent times
there was a large increase in this area. This is less than agricultural. It has been suggested that
if the funds for the farm were sent to IT, then the growth would have been enchanting :).
The percentage of the size of the IT market by country: 23% is India and is growing, 17% is Ireland and is falling,
8% - England - stable, 8% - Germany and falling, 6% - Israel and strongly falling, 3% of the USA and falling,
0.1% of Belarus.
The global IT service supply is 30% in the US, but developing countries are already 30%.
In the world, the information sector accounts for 6.5% of GDP, and agricultural sector, 3%.
Now less money is spent on new projects. But more is spent on hardware and software.
With a margin of 10 times, the population that buys hardware and software leads, then the connection,
banks (consistently 30% of their income), public sector. On innovation in transport consumes all
more money.
To be profitable, each developer must earn about 40 thousand ye per year.
If not, then the office will be bad in a crisis :).
He compared our software industry and considered it in comparison with Russia, because much is very similar.
He listed the following causes of IT development problems:
1. few credits (during the crisis - little money at all)
2. wrong taxation
3. corruption in tenders and import software preference
4. shortage of personnel (only a couple of universities prepare the right specialists, the rest are wrong)
5. flaws in the laws
Virtually all of this applies to us.
What to do:
1. Stimulate domestic demand (and at the expense of government programs as well)
2. Education in IT
3. Improving the efficiency of employees (less than 40 thousand per year - lay off :)
4. clearing of inefficient companies (mergers and acquisitions)
5. new services
6. risk diversification
SaaS will develop.
It would be nice if our government introduced electronic testing, like in developed countries.
This will help both applicants and our IT :).
What are the current trends:
1. Virtualization
2. Cloud
3. server of the future (I do not remember what was meant)
4. <do not make out what is written>
5. mashups
6. specialized systems
7. social projects
8. unified communications
9. BI
10. Green IT (environmentally sound)
Now IT should increase its advantage in relation to other industries, now demand in
RB less than the offer.
Makarov V's next report from RusSoft - “Overview of the Belarusian software solutions industry,
services and products. "
In general, it is necessary to develop and make together with Russia and Ukraine the pole of software development.
Our advantages over the Hindus are high professionalism (recognized in the world) and
teamwork skills. India overtakes Belarus + Russia + Ukrana 15-20 times
in terms of orders.
In Belarus, there is an opportunity for IT growth by 60% per year.
There was also a report by analyst dev.by Alexander Yurut, "The Impact of a Business on the IT Industry of Belurusi: Figures and Facts."
There was a report of the second section “The right way to quarrel with an investor, or non-monetary indicators that investors are looking at” Denis Petelin ( http://www.agile.by ). Sometimes he takes part in the evaluation of startups by the investor (Russian) as a consultant for the supply.
At first he scared everyone with the fact that he would use a lot of jargon, but everything was clear :).
Investors ask a lot of questions, and not all of them relate to the business concept.
Criteria by which startups are evaluated:
1. Not advertising (social network that will live with advertising)
2. Knowledge of target customer
3. "spreaded market"
4. sales forecast
5. 60 days self-sufficiency
6. profitability in 90 days
7. profitability of 100%
And there are a lot of such startups ...
From the investor estimate 3 people:
1. by business
2. by technology
3. on delivery
When evaluating the supply look at the following:
1. The team used to work together, what did they (not) do?
2. who is responsible for what?
3. How much is the idea worked out, is there a BackLog / SRS, at least for the first version?
4. Is there a supply planning?
5. What is the condition of the infrastructure?
6. Is the process and development tools clear?
7. How is the working day organized?
8. What is the condition of the office?
9. Are there newly married or fresh fathers / mothers :)?
10. Overall performance and its warranty?
Investors assign such a person who is watching you and in which case gives a signal to stop financing. :)
Presentation of the presentation - if you can do without an investor, get along. This is how it is.
The idea is usually taken from the business.
I was also at the hour and a half master class of Sergey Arkhipenkov, who developed Agile at TsUPe. http://arkhipenkov.ru/ .
I do not undertake to retell this bison, I downloaded its reports from http://www.happy-pm.com/ . I am sure that his presentation will be available. I think that his text was also recorded. Recomend for everybody.
After that, the BSUIR had a SEF section dedicated to IT entrepreneurship. About 10 start-ups and projects (2 of which are mine) were presented to investors and representatives of our business incubator. It was very interesting, but I can’t tell, because by the time the elevator pitch was tired and was not very able to take notes and memorize. I think that in the media tomorrow there will be messages.
Tomorrow I have an exam at 8:00 (in the sense that I accept, you understand) and at 9:00 the second day of the forum, I will try to report on it.
I will answer only a couple of days after the forum, so do not be offended. And sorry for the inaccurate text.
