“Despite the rough economic
situation over 2009, Miratech
continued to earn profits.
Whereas the market players
have responded to the crisis by
laying staff off and cutting
wages, Miratech preserved and
increased headcount coming to
the 2009 year end with the
payroll intact and employees
uninjured. Furthermore, we
managed both to retain
business volumes with our
strategic customers and to win
new top rank market players as our clients. These factors, along with the company’s
improved focus on the needs of its customers, have helped maintain Miratech’s growth in
recession,” said Valeriy Kutsyy, Miratech CEO.
During 2009 Miratech continued to emphasize priorities with the targets set for the year. The
approach proved to be effective: in 2009 the company’s business objectives have been
successfully achieved, which resulted in GOR growth up to 50.397 million UAH: a boost of 46
percent against 2008 and 98 percent against 2007. By the end of 2009, the company’s
headcount reached its historical highest total. 2009 highlighted significant achievements in
company’s revenues and order backlog; in general, Miratech performed 25 percent better
than an average Ukrainian IT company.
Miratech is maintaining considerable growth in the field of delivery of IT services. The
company’s offers are the most advanced models that allow customers to reduce costs, and
improve its focus on the core business – it comes as no surprise that a growing number of
new customers were looking to Miratech to help reduce prodigal waste of resources and
optimize risks. In 2010 Miratech plans to continue its rapid growth in Ukrainian market. CEO
Valeriy Kutsyy credits the company’s plans, saying that “Miratech is excellently prepared for
the future. That is why we have made it a top priority for 2010 to increase year on year
