Novosibirsk in the Atlas Vipservice

Novosibirsk

An administrative centre of Siberian Federal District, Novosibirsk is the third most populated city of Russia. The young city is reputed to be 'rapid' and 'moving relentlessly towards the future.' It boasts constructivism architecture and original museums, such as the museum of happiness or of the sun. When someone says 'Novosibirsk,' we picture the Red Torch Theatre or the largest in Russia Opera and Ballet Theatre. Novosibirsk is also the city of science, hosting over 50 universities and Akademgorodok ('science town' in Russian) with experts in cutting-edge technologies. In addition to that, Novosibirsk has a wonderful zoo, which is also considered as one of the best in the country. 

Vipservice Novosibirsk

Vipservice Novosibirsk was the first regional branch. It opened back in 2005 and became a separate legal entity in 2009.

At the year-end 2018, Vipservice Novosibirsk made the top 100 Russian agencies working with S7 airlines. In Novosibirsk, they are ranked in the top three.

Lyudmila Ivanicheva, the permanent head of the office, is doing her best for Vipservice she loves so much. "What I like about Vipservice is that we always come first. If you come first, you have an advantage. Back in 2007, when I joined Vipservice, it was the only company to conclude direct contracts with nine leading foreign airlines. Today, we benefit from our innovative technologies. The travel market is using optimisation tools extensively, but Vipservice has been and continues to be number one in this domain," says Lyudmila.

HotelStar back-end development

In Akademgorodok, six developers are creating a special Vipservice project, the HotelStar. The successful collaboration has been going on for 1.5 years. The lead of the Novosibirsk team is Boris Bezborodov, leading developer.

"Ever since the Great Patriotic War, they dispatched the best engineers in the back country, to Yekaterinburg and Novosibirsk. There were the best technical universities in Russia. Now we see children and grandchildren with these 'gens of talent' grow up and graduate. Novosibirsk is especially famous for its experts, as the best Russian developers live and work in Akademgorodok. The most advanced IT companies, like Yandex, are opening their offices in there. Usually, the guys from Novosibirsk are involved in back-end development. We haven’t broken up with this trend, and our people are the best!" says Sergey Strelnikov, author of HotelStar project.
