Starting from cooperation with international enterprises and established business processes to refined IT education and startup support, Sigma Software has unique competencies and approaches to boosting IT ecosystems. A significant part of this approach is IT education.

Maxim Pochebut, Chief Learning Officer at Sigma Software, says: “In Uzbekistan, we plan to collaborate with the educational system by partnering with private and state educational institutions. These organizations will join our existing partner university program, which already includes 58 institutions where we establish IT labs, organize dual education programs, hold courses with our experts for students and professional education events for teachers. Thus, we will provide for the core activity of Sigma Software as an IT service business.

Additionally, Sigma Software University is going to offer a wide range of advanced IT programs for IT engineers aimed to streamline their career progress in software development, delivery management, architecture, AI, data science, and more. Besides that, as we see rapid digitalization in various sectors in this country, we believe that many corporations, retail networks, insurance companies, banks, and others can benefit from our business education services, including launching corporate education systems, holding specialized corporate education courses, creating custom e-learning content, etc.”
