Luxoft, a member of the IBS Group and a global provider of advanced application and software development services, today announced participation at the 2012 Forrester Sourcing & Vendor Management EMEA Forum as a Silver sponsor. The forum is taking place June 19-20th in Paris, France.

In the midst of a continuously evolving technology landscape, Senior Vendor Management Professionals (SVMs) are in the unique position to lead co-innovation efforts to help their organizations get ahead. The Service Provider’s role is evolving as well – SVMs are turning to their leading IT partners for help in delivering real, sustainable innovation.

Attended by sourcing executives from the highest organizational levels, Forrester’s Sourcing & Vendor Management Forum 2012 will serve as a platform for SVMs, service vendors, and Forrester analysts to identify and discuss winning sourcing strategies, vendor management best practices, supplier governance approaches – all key ingredients for delivering service innovation.

“This year’s forum is especially relevant to the expertise and the culture that we continuously foster at Luxoft because it is focused on co-innovation between enterprises and their service providers. Bringing timely “out of the box” solutions is one of our key modus operandi and we are excited and proud to be a sponsor of this particular event,” commented Przemyslaw Berendt, VP Global Marketing Luxoft. “Exceeding expectations of clients are just as important as delivering requested services on time and on budget. Understanding the needs and dilemmas of each client and proactively engineering relevant and timely solutions is one of the first steps to co-innovation and to the long-standing partnership that we aim to achieve with each of our customers.”

During this year’s exhibit Luxoft will showcase its innovative solutions while supporting green initiatives. Significantly reducing its hard copy marketing materials, the team will show a series of multimedia presentations of the company’s latest platforms on individual tablet devices at the Booth #21. These presentations will include Open Source Test Automation Framework, Demand Management Automation Software Platform, Connectivity platform that enables integration between in-vehicle infotainment systems and mobile devices and several other solutions.
