    AUA CONTINUES DIALOGUE ON INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

    Yerevan -André Andonian, Senior Partner of McKinsey & Co, Germany, visited
    the American University of Armenia (AUA) on Nov. 7 and spoke on the
    Comparative Productivity and Development Potential of the Armenian
    Information Technology Sector. `Armenia shows good productivity
    performance given quite a young and fragmented sector,' said Andonian, as he
    highlighted the strategy for software and information technology services.
    Andonian emphasized the need for Armenia to build on its advantages, adapt
    to foreign markets, be open for global alliances, pursue export strategies
    and aspire for leadership to achieve growth. His advice was that Armenia's
    global export focus should be on customized application development and
    embedded software. 'In the high growth scenario, Armenia can become
    comparable with current dominant countries.'

    Andonian is a Senior Partner in McKinsey's Munich office with more than 12
    years experience in the field of high technologies. `Armenia's specialists
    not only possess in-depth knowledge of information technology but are also
    well educated to solve more complex problems linked to high-tech
    engineering,' said Andonian.

    The American University of Armenia continues to encourage active dialogue on
    developing Armenia's high tech industry by hosting lectures and seminars
    from experts in the field, such as Andre Andonian. This is in line with
    its mission to prepare leaders for the computing industry. AUA's Computer
    and Information Sciences program established just three years ago, has seen
    great success in placing graduates in Armenia's fastest growing high tech
    companies.
