Technological solutions of Armenian IT companies become attractive for
implementation abroad
Results of experience in implementation of Armenian IT companies’
technological solutions for `Matenadaran’ Ancient Manuscripts
Institute’s research activity facilitation have motivated expansion of
partnership and import of technologies into India.
Panorama.am has been informed that Indian company Oriental Software
has signed agreement to expand implementation of Armenian company
Aviainfotel’s technological solutions in the presentation of Indian
cultural heritage in Internet. In the scope of partnership between
these companies, during last years high-quality images for a big
number of temples and other monuments over all territory of India have
been created and presented in the portals and
High-quality images contain minute details and specifications of
architectural monuments.
`Our partners confidently work in direction of richest architectural
monuments presentation in Internet, which is consonant with Indian
government’s policy in tourism activation. However, these works were
not
going to necessary level of financing, which would be eligible for
digitization of monuments in a country, like India. After `Hetum
arqayi jashots’ book miniatures presentation in Internet
,
our partners became not only more interested, but also got
opportunities to expand joint works.’,-tells Aram Vrtanesyan,
technical manager of Aviainfotel.
Mr. Vrtanesyan quoted the Indians saying they are technological
company and certainly understand how many applications can be realized
via our technological innovations. However, Armenia positions itself
mainly as a country requiring assistance in specialist education and
import of software applications, and with this we have difficulties to
convince state officials and business partners to invest money in the
projects with Armenian technological roots.
Here we find a great help by wonderful samples of Armenian miniature
art, presented in, where on 1sm2 of parchment your
ancestry have located portraits of people and pictures of birds and
flowers, as beautiful as works by great masters, done on large
canvases. Seeing how easily any minute parts of miniatures are being
rendered in Internet, people with whom we are working have better
understood that they are dealing with professional staff working in a
country with ancient and deepest traditions.’ Expansion of partnership
specifies not only increasing of work volume, but also their extension
to the sphere of education. This decision is mainly promoted by our
multilingual searching system implemented in Matenadaran and presented
in ‘, -tells A. Vrtanesyan.
