1944 – ENIAC – University of Pennsylvania and the US Army
1957, eng. Victor Toma (future member of honor of the Romanian Academy) builds the first digital electronic computer in Romania (CIFA-1, 1500 electronic tubes and magnetic memory cylinder, realized at the Academy Institute of Physics, Măgurele).
In reality, CIFA-1 was operational since 1955
Romania is the 8th country in the world to build a computer and the 2nd country in the former Eastern Block
Better computers were built in 1959, 1961, 1962 (CIFA-4)
Between 1957 – 1959 new computers were built at the Polytechnic Institute in Timisoara (MECIPT 1) and the Computing Institute in Cluj (DACICC 1)
A Little Bit of History
![Page 10: IT Outsourcing from USA to Romania An underutilized option presented by IT Six Global Services](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/56816891550346895ddf1c52/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Good Romanian Vendors will have:– superlative service– methodology and technology proficiency
(best ones are properly trained in AGILE / SCRUM / XP etc)– vertical industry expertise– stunning people– Stability– a winning combination of local leadership with offshore engineers
• YOU should:– Check: point out any perceived flaws identified during analysis– Benchmark: point out differentiators in your envisioned software from existing competitor
products– Get involved: Suggest improvements, alternatives and extensions to features– Trust your partner for good technology advice and best practice
Helping the client beyond building software

YOU should:- provide all available and non-confidential information related to the project
• technology, business context, business goal, infrastructure, tools- always more attention required in planning if existing project needs to be migrated
Vendor - ideally have the opportunity to suggest better architecture, process, technology, tools- essential to understand the CONTEXT right- agreement on the principles of collaboration, shared roles, responsibility, decision-
making impact- allow the vendor to help improve the software architecture and use best practices
Romanians are SMART and CREATIVE.
