Opening ceremony
Don’t ask customers what they want
Anna Mamaeva
Innovations that click with consumers — becoming part of their lives, not just glitz admired in the media — align with deep-seated needs. Merely asking what people want seldom uncovers these needs, because people focus immediately on solutions and technologies that are already in mind. To get to the root sources of demand, it is critical to ask the right question: What are people trying to get done in their lives but find frustration with?
Outsourcing will not survive: how financial markets and IT companies work in the face of accelerating change
Dmitry Abramov
Dmitry will speak about how the financial markets are changing from the IT services provider point of view, and why the old work models are losing relevance. Who puts pressure on the global financial business, what difficulties does it face, and what tasks does its suppliers have to confront? Why do a number of fashionable technologies still remain an unattainable dream for the markets, and some are back in fashion after previous failures? And how do IT companies adapt to maintain their businesses and grow them?
Coffee-time
Banking digitalization: what we’ve expected and what clients wanted
Ilya Aristov

We’ll talk about what banks are doing now in this area and how business environment has changed during the last two years in accordance with media interest in this topic. Finally what ‘we’ have achieved so far in ‘fintech’.
Dinner
Building the right Data Analytics platform for the financial industry in the Cloud
Igor Leontyev
Financial services organizations require complex workflows to collect, transform, enrich and analyze disparate data for risk modeling, reporting, and simulations. Currently the questions are - Which hosting platform to choose? How to build the right platform? Which services to activate? How to build the development process? What are the current revolutions in Data Analytics development? This topic will cover the following Cloud services: Azure Data Factory v1, v2 (new); Azure SQL Database and Data warehouse; SQL Server Integrational Services and PowerBI.
Taming the whale: the experience of a large outsource project
Dmitry Kalmetyev
How would you organize the work of a team of 150 people that are developing a single application? And what if the project is not divided into independent subprojects?
This report describes our management experience in atypical conditions: a big client, big tasks, and a big team. We will talk about the life cycle of such a project, the possibilities of scaling typical methodologies that arise from these problems, and best practices and anti-patterns which should be taken into account in such projects.
Coffee-time
Digitalization: a designer’s view
Dmitry Kozitsky
The time has come when most of the old and clumsy financial giants are moving from using pen-and-paper and Excel towards digital solutions. Designers as members of development teams play an important role in creating useful Enterprise products. In this presentation, Dmitry will tell you what to do when the clients don’t understand the importance of design, and how designers help solve issues both within the team and when communicating with the client.
Why won’t your project end on time?
Oleksandr Krakovetskyi
The report will deal with various mathematical and psychological aspects of working in the software development industry. In particular, we’ll discuss the Pareto and Parkinson principles, issues of project evaluation, technical debt, etc. The report will be of interest primarily to project managers, developers, entrepreneurs, and anyone who makes decisions or influences decision making in their companies.
