Launched in May 2007, VTB IPO site was intended to inform shareholders and investors on the IPO procedure. In developing the site a special emphasis was laid on the user’s comfort and availability of the most important information. A number of innovations are implemented in the project: site organization as a simple step-by-step instruction for a shareholder, interactive guide, created in the streaming video technology, automatic identification of the user’s country, distribution of materials for Russian and foreign audiences taking into account legal restrictions.
