' Meat Department, Central Market, the end of the day...'. (' Volleyball on Stetinke ' W. Vizbor ).
And we have - early morning (7:30). Starlight Hotel in Antalya coast. And that means - time is the middle of June - there is another conference company with '1 '.
4th International Conference ' Decisions 1C for corporate clients '.
( sincerely do not understand why they use the word ' international ' in the title. It is not customary in IT, which initially have a global character. In this case, it gives the ' scoop ' and simply diminishes the value of the conference).
About the Departure from Sheremeevo I wrote and published a post right here:.
http://akolesov-travel. blogspot. com/2011/06/blog-post_11. html. We arrived yesterday morning, yesterday was a welcome -organizational meeting. Work begins today ( at 9:30 surveillance- reporting by Boris Nuralieva report ).
Up to this time there are a few predvaritelh remark and a little history.

Number of participants - about 300 people, not so much for Russian IT activities ( but among the ' exit ' - perhaps the most prominent ). But the actual number here is not so much important ' small packages but the roads '.
So the introduction to this topic.
My last article on the topic of business 1C with the data here:.
http://www. pcweek. ru / business / article / detail. php? ID = 131395. Now ekspkurs.
'1 C ' - one of the backbone companies of the Russian IT market (including international ). In my opinion (long sound ) - Russia's most influential player. The largest in terms of added value created (and not just ' turn ' - buy-sell ).
software company.
The three main areas: software distribution ( alien, foreign and otchestvennogo ), economic development and the development of software - multimedia- publishing software igorovogo. Enumerate at least, they appear in the business structure of 1C, first and second appeared almost simultaneously (but still started with the sales of Lotus 1-2-3) in the early '90s, a third - from the late 90.

Sobstvennno in 1C is working, probably 1000-1500 people, traffic, very roughly - 400-500 million. USD. ( created by the cost - 250-350 million), but these data do not fully reflect the real impact of. This is a tip of the iceberg. In order to understand its real weight, you need to understand that in 1C- fishery products from the IT work at least 100 thousand. IT professionals, and from the customers - about 200 thousand. man.
The volume of business ' community ' in the amount of value created - much more than 1 billion. USD.
All three areas of work complement each other well, but multimedia is still a bit away, and because it is in recent years has been allocated to the individual holding structure.
Geography of Russia and the CIS (mainly Ukraine and Kazakhstan). Multimedia - in the world, but in reality to its success there is little. There were timid popyatki come up with a '1 C: Enterprise 'for the CIS, but so far - all very weak. T. e. company is focused on the domestic market.
In general, the firm priedzhivaetsya vendrsko - classical model partneroskoy. Retailers, and customer relationships in the tselm - only through partners.
The gigantic network of partners (several thousand companies, all kinds and levels of partners, the foundation - implementers - franchisee ). Perhaps the inferior (but not much, at one level ) only MS. In general, '1 C ' is very similar to a business model for MS.
But there are specific local domestic.
a. The company adheres to the ' rasperedelenie ' struturktnoy strategy. The boundary between the vendor and partners greatly blurred, erased, sees the development of their business through a network of subsidiaries and joint ventures. It is difficult to say exactly, but they are probably 100-200 companies. In fact, the business receives a three-level scheme. Maternal strutura - daughter - Partners. However, many daughters compete with independent partners. This is - a departure from the ' classic ', is a challenge, but it works.
2. Specific PR, promotion methods and relationships in the market (I'm not comparing with Russian companies - they all spetsiyaficheskie, with the global practice). Such a strange combination of open and closed. Cocoa is the policy izolitsionizma of the IT market as a whole. As aptly noted four years nazaz Misha Elashkin when I first became acquainted closer with 1C - is the IT industry is the industry - 1C, standing there in pretty much alone.
I met with 1C in December 1995, at the very beginning of his IT journalism. Since then - it's one of my major themes ( see. http://www. visual. 2000. ru/kolesov/1c. htm, but there is no recent publications ). I consider myself ' expert ' question in its various aspects. A few years (from 98 to 2004 ), even at the level of programming involved, but not very deep. The company has always been for me not only interesting in itself, but also in terms of understanding the overall situation in the market.
But in the last couple of years theme of '1 C ' was clearly to leave. I think the reason is not in me, and in PR- politics '1 C '.
The fact that '1 C ' has decided to resume the conferences and intensify the work with the media, gives rise poloagat that the issue may return.
But as you know, ' you can not step twice into the same water '.
So you need to try to understand what water priedtsya enter today.
So - to be continued.
