Miratech is pleased to announce that it has been included in two shortlists for the National Outsourcing Association’s (NOA’s) Professional Awards. Miratech is one of six companies nominated for the Best Nearshore Team award; and its Application Services Director, Alexander Maximenko, has been named one of six nominees for the Manager of the Year award.
According to Kerry Hallard, CEO of the NOA, these professional awards exist to showcase outsourcing’s most talented, and encourage the professionalization of outsourcing globally.
With the Best Nearshore Team nomination, NOA recognizes the high quality nearshore services Miratech provides to Genesys UK and British American Tobacco (BAT). These services include software development and testing, IT operations, and 24/7 technical support. Contributing to Miratech’s success is its innovative delivery model, the Managed Competence Center™, which results in consistent, reliable results for customers.
The nearshore team assisting Genesys UK and BAT consists of 220 professionals, including over 30 percent at the senior level. Team stability is demonstrated by the 25 percent of engineers who have been in place for five or more years.
Alex Petrov, Senior Director, Customer Care, Reporting and Analytics at Genesys, in an interview with Software magazine, noted, Miratech’s professionals are deeply integrated in Genesys’ business processes and are working as if they were our own employees.
Pavel Tkachev, Head of IT Ukraine Moldova Belarus at BAT, in an interview with Professional Outsourcing magazine, commented that a strong area of Miratech’s service is a certain communication style, attitude, and cultural fit of outsource employees which is as important as their technical expertise.
Miratech’s offshoring services were previously recognized in 2009 through its inclusion in the Top 3 ITO Offshore Companies in Eastern/Central Europe by the Black Book of Outsourcing research agency. The agency conducts annual research to discover customer experiences with IT outsourcing providers, and assesses trends and industry dynamics.
As the nominee for the Manager of the Year award, Maximenko began his IT career in 1998. He holds a Master’s degree in computer science, and several professional certifications, including Certified Project Management Professional, IAOP Certified Outsourcing Professional, and Certified ISO 23001 (Business Continuity Management) Auditor.
This nomination acknowledges Maximenko’s highly effective approach to project governance, including his ability to quickly identify the right priorities in a project and his skill in finding multiple solutions to each new challenge. His innovative software engineering tracking process, based on a similar process widely used in manufacturing, has produced impressive successes.
In his LinkedIn recommendation for Maximenko, Arttu Hollmerus, Business Development Director at Lindorff stated, He is clear in his communication and always proposes two or three options to handle a tricky situation. Alexander has substantial technical knowledge in the software development domain. He is able to understand complex issues and provide the needed solutions.
Miratech has been invited to attend the Fourth Annual NOA Professional Awards Ceremony on May 19 at the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester, England, where the final award winners will be announced.
