ОРЕАНДА-НОВОСТИ. For three consecutive years, MAYKOR has taken first place in the ranking of IT service providers for the Russian retail industry according to research by Pierre Audoin Consultants (PAC). One of the leading analytical and consulting companies in Europe has estimated MAYKOR's share in the retail IT service market at 42.2% at the end of 2014.

Last year, MAYKOR's revenue in the retail industry exceeded 5.27 billion rubles, an increase of 17% compared to the previous period. Most revenue comes from the sale of full IT support contracts, engineering and industry-specific infrastructure of large retail chains. Key customers include Detskiy Mir, REDMOND, Media Markt, Snezhnaya Koroleva, and MegaFon and Svyaznoy cellular retailers.

In one year, MAYKOR has jumped to 2nd place (from 4th place) in the general list of Russian IT infrastructure support suppliers according to PAC. The upward movement was due not only to retail contracts but also to services provided to governmental customers. Revenue in this area grew by 30% in 2014.

"The last two years were not easy for the Russian IT outsourcing sector because of the ruble's depreciation, expensive loans, and other unfavorable economic factors. MAYKOR's permanent positive growth trend under such conditions is proof of the strategic stability of the company. Being the leader among IT service providers in the retail sector and improving our business for all the key categories according to the PAC study confirm the validity of our chosen strategy," commented Irina Semenova, VP for marketing at MAYKOR.
