Why Exhibit?
Russia's Telecommunications/IT Market Exceeds the $20 Billion Mark

The Russian telecommunications industry is reaping the benefits of a successful restructuring effort within the sector, the recent passage of new telecommunications laws, and rapidly increasing capitalization of traditional fixed line regional carriers. The development of mobile communications, new generation services and IP telephony has also been among the most successful in terms of annual growth. An expanding consumer income base, political and economic stability, as well as growing foreign investments have all contributed to the increased growth of telecommunications and Internet services in Russia.

Foreign Firms Achieve 60% Market Share

SVIAZ/EXPO COMM MOSCOW is at the center of this technology rich environment.

The DoD has mandated the use of the “Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System” (JCIDS) and the DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF) on all future acquisitions. JCIDS and DoDAF are the critical benchmarks that will guide the development and production of all acquisition programs. JCIDS fosters a capabilities-based approach to acquisition that targets interoperability at the earliest stages of program development by identifying, assessing, and prioritizing joint military capability needs. DoDAF is the architectural “MIL-STD” for future acquisitions, from Investment Strategies to Systems Design. All ongoing and future contracted architectures, systems and technologies must comply with these requirements.

This seminar guides you through these new processes and reforms that are transforming the way the DoD operates. Attendees will receive step-by-step compliance guidelines for ensuring their technologies, systems and architectures meet the technical and architectural requirements imposed by the DoD.
