ComArch secures foothold on Russian market

ComArch, an IT integrator, was chosen by ECR, a Russian trade consortium, to implement an electronic document interchange system. The system, called ECOD, will be used to transfer data between the largest shopping centers and their suppliers. The contract assures revenues of at least $1 million for ComArch until the end of 2005. "For ECOD, the Russian market is three times bigger than Poland's and we will be able to serve our international clients better. Our offer was chosen from among 20 competitors," said Paweł Przewięźlikowski, ComArch's deputy president. Apart from Poland and Russia, the company is also active in Lithuania, Germany and the Czech Republic. (Puls Biznesu, p. 8) D.W.
