SAMSUNG AMERICA, INC. 105 Challenger Road, 6th Floor Ridgefield Park, NJ 07660 U.S.A.

Initially, we were concerned working with Novosoft because of the fact that the programmers do not reside in the US. After a few weeks though, our worries dissipated as we found ourselves working with a solid IT management team with experienced, competent ASP/MS SQL/Site Server developers. The end result is http://www.astragolf.com/, a CyberCash supported, mid-size, ecommerce site with an online catalog subsidized by Samsung WebTrade.com, Inc.

Astra Classic

Project Description:

Astra Classic™ is the golf professional's choice for polos, knits, pants, and windbreakers. Astra®'s innovative designs have extraordinarily accomplished to combine both utility and sophistication. Astra Classic™ was first launched in Korea in 1986, and has since grossed more than 30 million dollars in revenue. Due to its extraordinary success, after two years of market research, the Astra® line was finally brought to America in 1999. As in Korea, the Astra® name has come to represent quality, function, and style. Designed with an "active cut" in mind, it is no wonder Astra® is the choice of professionals worldwide (for more information, please visit http://www.astragolf.com/).

Technical Project Description:

ASTRAGOLF.COM is a CyberCash™ supported, mid-size, ecommerce site with an online catalog. Back-end capabilities exist for Astra Classic™ Warehouse and Customer Service sales/return/exchange processing. Automatic 7x24 operations are based on MS Site Server Commerce 3.0/ASP/IIS 4.0/MS SQL v.6.5.

As an individual, I had acquired some great technology, a proprietary web addressing system that operates in the web's biggest market segment, sports. However, I could not interest anyone in programming it for me, at least not for less than a quarter of a million dollars.

I turned with some hesitation to Novosoft. I had heard a lot about Siberia, and none of it involved programming skills. However, I created a test job for them to price. The price was reasonable so I figured, what did I have to lose? I turned over my specs to them.

Within a week one of their programmers was talking to me on ICQ, the free messaging system Novosoft uses to conduct business worldwide. After the first week I knew I had someone that not only understood what my business was about, I had a mock-up of what my website would look like. SportSnort.com emerged, the site I had envisioned, but one with a slew of innovations that were the result of my collaboration with Novosoft's programmers.

Within months, I had my website for under $5,000. However, Novosoft's contribution to SportSnort did not stop there. I operate out of Washington D.C. During the period the site was being developed, SportSnort had incorporated and established offices in Dallas, Texas. It had contracted to locate its servers in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.

Novosoft oversaw the set up and loading of the servers and participated in the load testing (accomplished with zero code rewrites). When we had to fire our Webmaster in Dallas for security reasons, Novosoft's programmers created a program that limited what our Webmaster could do and allowed Novosoft to oversee what our Webmaster did.

Of course, Novosoft thinks of its programmers as its employees, but as far as SportSnort is concerned, they are full time employees of SportSnort.com, Inc. Whether I am initiating new features for the website out of Washington, our Webmaster is having problems in Dallas, or we need to program our computers in North Carolina, Novosoft is there, not looking over our shoulder, but in front of us, working, while we look over Novosoft's shoulder.

And with one group in all three places doing one job, our job, there are no communications mix-ups.

Novosoft has been a great partner for us in undertaking many types of software development projects. Their level of skill and dedication as a group has made working with them easy and efficient. My experiences working with companies all around the world has shown me that software development companies need both good people and good processes, and Novosoft has been tremendous in these areas. I would highly recommend their services to anyone.

Novosoft's staff have always shown a great degree of competency in a variety of skillsets, including Oracle and SQL Server, from Active Server Pages to COM and XML. They have also shown great proficiency on some packages such as MS Site Server and Site Server Commerce Edition. They have always been able to support my needs quickly and with great people.

I wanted to thank you for the excellent service we have received at Novosoft.
We have truly enjoyed working with your highly trained and educated programmers. Your cost estimates are accurate and, most importantly, your programmers complete work in a timely fashion.
Today, our Internet search engine, http://www.majormerchants.com/, is attracting the biggest corporate names in the world. We are off to a good start and Novosoft deserves the lion’s share of the credit. For this reason, and many more, I would recommend your programming acumen to the most sophisticated corporate buyer.
It warms my heart to see entrepreneurial excellence emanating from the far reaches of Siberia. Keep up the good work.

I would just like to extend a personal thanks to Novosoft for their outstanding work on our ASP solution for bug tracking and issue management,
Bugware.NET. Novosoft not only responded quickly to requests for proposals, but made a number of recommendations to our design that helped decrease development time, while increasing the programs functionality. All this, while substantially reducing our total development cost as compared to domestic talent! Thanks!

I have been working with Dmitry Glotov and several of the staff at Novosoft for close to a year. They have done simple and complex projects from basic website work, to involved, creative, and unique programs which are one of a kind. I have found each member to have heart, integrity, and a sense of responsibility in meeting deadlines and performing excellent work craftsmanship. It is truly a pleasure to work with such a team. I recommend them without reservation.

I have found Novosoft to be reliable and honest in every way. Since they are a long way off, and time zones are 11 hours difference, you might expect communication problems. However, the programmers work crazy hours and are usually available when you need them, and respond promptly to urgent needs. The work is professional, and budgets are adhered to correctly.

I am extremely pleased with the whole team at Novosoft. They have been very efficient in all aspects of the project - from communications to programming. The implementation of Cold Fusion/MS Access searchable database with over 14,000 records on one of our web sites went extremely well.

You will be hard-pressed to find anyone with the same level of expertise and capabilities - even at 4-7 times the cost. Compare Novosoft's hourly rate with others that quoted me $85-150 per hour for the same project. I sure hope Novosoft doesn't decide to raise their rates when they read this :)

About NOVOSOFT, Inc.
We work with NOVOSOFT (or "The Russians", as we usually call them here) since early 1999. In the start, we were just doing some little MS Access / VB tasks for our in-house applications with TOTAL RECALL music mail-order (www.totalrecall.de).
But today, our relationship includes almost all of our software developing, the entire ANYPAY (www.anypay.com) project online application plus graphics, tech consulting and even webmastering.

We are totally convinced of their skills in ANY kind of technology. Communication is just fine. People often just can't believe that we built our achievents exclusively on writing emails - but it works !

Here in Germany, most IT service providers are so occupied, that they often show some kind of "Get lost!" attitude (unless you are fortune 500). With this in mind, we can only worthship the sheer endless availibility of manpower at NOVOSOFT. Not only that they made our projects affordable, it made them possible. In Fact, without knowing them, I wouldn't even have thought about founding such a challenging new company like ANYPAY.

Clear and coherent work of management, analytical and development teams from Novosoft allowed us in the shortest possible time to develop the Remote Learning System.

We've been using a team of seven programmers at Novosoft for a year and a half now. We've found the developers there to be very professional, the rates quite reasonable, and the work of very good quality. The team's ability to deliver on schedule gives our development projects a wonderful element of predictibility. Novosoft has really worked at understanding and meeting our needs. Best of all they understand that if we help our customers be successful then we will be successful and Novosoft will be successful. Novosoft approaches their work with a desire to build a strong relationship and keep their clients happy by being results oriented. I whole heartedly recommend them.

MS United Ltd. Reference contact information is available upon request.

We at MS United are really glad that we met Novosoft and started working with them in August 2001. Their experts worked very close with our executives to elicit our existing business processes. They achieved very significant results in systemizing information about our internal business processes and proposing methods for their optimization.

Novosoft did tremendous job with their Software Engineering Process. The system configuration of our financial and accounting system - Platinum SQL - was customized on the basis of business analysis information, to meet up-to-date business-specific requirements.

We highly appreciate all the efforts that Novosoft did for us, and we have really great expectations for our long-term partnership with them.

I'm highly impressed with Novosoft's software developers, with whom we work since May 1999. While working on 2 applications designed for our Shadow line of products (http://www.neonsys.com/solutions/shadow/default.asp), they showed very thorough approach to development process, which resulted in the highest quality.

This is absolutely unbelievable, but even though Novosoft's staff is located far away in Siberia, they were able to provide us with continuous and fast technical support, which is really the key to success of the project.

There is no doubt that I will choose Novosoft in case I'll decide to outsource any development in future!

CDSRail have been working closely with Novosoft since 2001. In that time, we have never failed to be pleasantly surprised at the quality and timeliness of the software we have asked Novosoft to produce. The quality of the work has invariably been superb and always on time - or even early! We have been impressed with the approach of everybody that we have come into contact with and fully subscribe to the view that Novosoft employ some of the best software engineers in the world. Their pride in what they do comes across strongly and is borne out in the fact that development times have been reduced significantly and costs by around 70%. We would recommend them to any prospective customer unreservedly.

Diodes web-site reconstruction

From June of 2002 through October of 2002, our High School District has retained the services of NovoSoft, a multi-national high-tech network and software engineering consulting services firm, with offices in the Silicon Valley and U.S. Headquarters in Austin, Texas.

Our District is into the third year of a very ambitious 8-year new building and modernization program. We have invested a substantial amount of our bond money and budget in the design, installation and deployment of sophisticated data networks in both the new and remodeled facilities, employing state-of-the-art Level 3 switching equipment and WAN architectures.

With the infrastructure in place, we needed high-level expertise in:

1) Configuring the new routers, switches and infrastructures at each LAN to provide optimal performance, throughput and reliablity.

2) Physically bridging the District Office and the two high school sites via a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to allow District-wide data services and applications.

And

3)Implementing a consistent, District-Wide approach to Active Directory schemas, authentication and file-sharing and personal shares for each District administrator, staff member and student.

Novosoft was able to provide us with two very senior engineers with all of the prerequisite skills needed to accomplish the above tasks. Prior to the actual commencement of the work, Novosoft did a thorough analysis of our requirements, and subsequently provided a detailed proposal with tasks, milestones, schedules and time estimates.

At each milestone completion date, the Novosoft engineers provided a complete summary of their work-to-date as well as specific documentation for all work completed or in progress. Throughout the course of this project, the Novosoft engineers made themselves available to our District Staff on a 24 by 7 hourly basis. Their responsiveness, professional pride in work and ability to quickly identify and troubleshoot unexpected issues allowed us to complete our project much more quickly than we had ever anticipated. We also were able to complete the project within budget because the original estimates of work provided to us were exactly the number of hours we paid for.

While our initial project is now complete, our District intends to retain Novosoft on a time and materials basis for future work. As the Director of Technology for the Los Gatos-Saratoga High School District, I would not hesitate to recommend their services to other School Districts.

As a network consulting firm with a very focused software development scope, we occasionally come across projects for which our in-house skills are not the best fit. We've discovered that Novosoft is a dream come true for these projects. Their ability to complete and deliver a bug-free custom project, within the quoted budget, and in a timely manner, is fantastic. Their recent web-based application rewrite of one of our legacy applications does a better job of working with our requisite legacy data file format than the original application did. I highly recommend their services and plan to use them for all our future outsourced development projects.

To Whom It May Concern,

WomanBiker.com is a retail store with an Internet presence offering women's motorcycle riding apparel. We produced a paper catalog of our products two years ago but it became quickly outdated as we add new products to our store on a weekly basis.

We were faced with a choice. If we produced a paper catalog more frequently, we would incur costs beyond our budget. So we decided to explore the possibility of using the latest technology to our advantage.

NovoSoft came to the rescue. We simply stated what we wanted in a CD-ROM catalog and they developed the design and work schedule to accommodate our needs and budget.

The way in which they communicated through email was clear and concise. We found them to be very responsive to our needs. At times, we fell behind with requirements because they are so efficient! We were not accustomed to working with a crew of people who believe that once a schedule is established, we follow it.

The project manager is very pleasant to work with and followed up on any concerns or questions we had very quickly. When we expressed a rough outline of what we wanted the catalog to look like, it was amazing how close they came to our vision on the first try, given that all our communication was through email.

We thoroughly enjoyed working with them and will highly recommend them in the future. We are already developing the second edition of the CD-ROM catalog and have the skeleton of an outline for a second project as well.

Sincerely,

Lorraine Courtney
Manager/Owner

I had the chance to work with Novosoft in 2002, that is when our company was in need of having an electronic platform for conducting the quoted tenders. The project started with the analysis of our requirements to the System, followed by the prompt creation of the System prototype; then the final application has been created. We would like to note the high professionalism of the project team that was able to design and implement the solution we needed within the shortest possible timeframe.
