AvantLab development center located in St. Petersburg,
Russia, but their services are oriented to Western market, for the
most part.
in the Netherlands:
After gaining sufficient experience as ordinal software developer
and project manager in western software outsourcing companies (
Novavox ( Switzerland ), debis Systemhouse (now t-systems ) (
Germany ) and BuzMe.com (now RingCentral, Inc ) ( USA ) ), Yaroslav
Bykov decided to set up his own company. He has a computer science
background ( System Engineer ) and received a Ph.D. degree in
Computer Sciences (2001) at the St. Petersburg Institute of
Informatics and Automation, Russian Academy of Sciences. After some
time of searching of first clients, he has found a dating agency,
called OneHello (2003), in the Netherlands. Yaroslav and his
developers in St. Petersburg implemented a number of features and
services for OneHello's broad range of activities. After
approximately one year of successful joint work, OneHello was bought
by an even bigger international company ( RSVP ). Unfortunately, the
new owner didn't hold much interest in further development. The good
job and reputation of AvantLab company, however, attracted Proteon
Web-Architects, who initially implemented OneHello web portal and
work in close collaboration with AvantLab. Later, one more customer
from the Netherlands supported AvantLab with new projects, this
company was Halotec Interactive, the development and integration
firm.
These two customers from Netherlands supply new projects and
continue investment in the form of teaching new technologies to
AvantLab employees.
in Finland:
In September 2004 Yaroslav Bykov has met the Finnish organization
FinPro, that encourage AvantLab to go to Finnish market. In November
2004 Yaroslav Bykov was invited to Helsinki, to the seminar
“Experience and the possibilities for Finnish companies”
within the FinPro's Russia ICT Connector Project.
In April 2005 Yaroslav Bykov participated in “outsourcing
Russia Event” in Oulu, Finland. This meeting demonstrated the
growing interest of Finns in many high-tech areas, in particular in
mobile phone industry.
In June 2005 two experienced C/C++ developers started to learn
development in Symbian OS (for mobile phones) to gain experience and
good reputation to AvantLab. The company has completed the projects,
and they were estimated high and company earned good reputation.
