Miratech M-Force Kyiv 2013 Conference

On July 18-21, Miratech held the Miratech M-Force 2013 event in Kyiv. For this conference, Miratech invited its clients, partners, and vendors from Norway, Russia, Switzerland, the U.K., and the U.S.

Miratech organized a series of presentations and workshops at its Kyiv delivery headquarters. During his speech, company CEO Valeriy Kutsyy emphasized that Miratech’s partner network is a major priority for its business development. Today most of our revenues are generated without partners’ involvement. By 2017 we expect that around 30% of total Miratech sales is originated with partners. To fulfill this ambition we expect up to 70-80% of new customer deals made with engagement of partners. Another focus of the conference was customer testimonials. One of Miratech’s major clients, Matt Stocker from Genesys, told about 13 years of experience working with Miratech, a relationship that started with a team of three engineers and has grown to 100.

During their stay in Ukraine, all guests were acquainted with Ukrainian traditions and national cuisine. They also took part in a yacht trip along the river Dnipro, and participated in Miratech’s largest annual corporate event, the Miratech birthday party.

M-Force 2013 provided a great opportunity for partners to learn more about the company’s strategy, services, goals, and vision for the future.

Miratech’s Director for Business Development in the U.S., Stewart Christ, said, "I was very pleased to attend my first M-Force event as the U.S. country manager. My role is to establish and facilitate Miratech’s U.S. partner community. M-Force was invaluable in terms of networking with the global network, and planning our future!"
