The Avalon's Tree Company was born in 1991 under
a different name in Russia's Silicon Valley, as Novosibirsk's Akademgorodok
has become known as. Akademgorodok is the scientific capital of
Siberia and is the number three Russian academic center, after Moscow
and St. Petersburg. For many decades the best scientists were sent
here and material resources were provided for their work. As a result
a number of specialized research institutes, universities and academies
were founded here. All of these were hidden in the heart of Siberia,
as it was connected with defense secrets.
It's natural that over the years this scientific oasis has gathered
and selected a quantity of the best brains in the country. Laboratories
were built for them, equipped with the best equipment (at that time).
The tasks they accomplished were large-scale and complicated. All
this resulted not only in the emergence of many well-organized teams
able to solve the most difficult tasks, and able to solve them systematically,
but, what is most important, in the formation of a complete educational
system capable of producing such teams.
After perestroika began, most of them found themselves out of work
and had to look for other ways to survive. Some of them left the
region; others created their own companies.
Avalon's Tree was one such company. It developed from a team that
was developing the first Russian 32-bit personal computer at the
end of eighties. The development was completed successfully - not
only was the computer itself created, but also all the necessary
software, including an operating system, compilers and other software
tools.
Since 1991 Avalon's Tree has been developing its own commercial
compilers on the strength of accumulated experience. In 1993 Avalon
received its first order, and since then it has been successfully
working in the offshore programming market.
The first of Avalon's orders were compiler development projects
for Nortel Networks. There was a time when Avalon was simultaneously
developing the compilers for three of Nortel's main telephone stations,
and we were jokingly dubbed Nortel's "Compilers department".
Until now compiler orders and other similar orders for software
conversion, migration and reengineering are some of our main strengths.
Though we have good skills in very different areas of software development.
Avalon has been growing, expanding the quantity of customers and
their geography, and gaining experience in implementing the orders
in various areas of software development. Now we have customers
from USA, Europe and Africa. We won't list all of them - 12 years
is a long time and a lot of customers!
