ARMENIAN ENGINEERING =
SURPRISING ENGINEERING
• The first reaction many people have to hearing that an Armenian invented this or that is
surprise. How could such a little people group invent such important things?!
• Throughout history Armenians have been known the world over as innovators. We are
a small people group - there are only about 10 million of us globally - but we far out-
innovate other ethnic groups on a per-capita basis. Culturally, we are driven to always
be innovating.
• For example, even though Soviet Armenia’s population was only 1.5% of the total
Soviet population, it produced 30% of all Soviet military electronics and high-end IT.

Clients Do

35. VOLO LLC Razor-sharp thinking
WE ARE FAST AND
FLEXIBLE
• We are agile and often define our days by the Scrum
• BUT, having delivered 150+ projects, we’ve worked with numerous different project
management approaches and tools, based on our clients’ best practices.
• The key is that we are extremely efficient at what we do, regardless of approach. Often
our clients often ask us to slow down so as not to create issues with their onshore
teams who aren’t delivering at the same speed or quality.

We are Growing Big
By Staying Small

37. VOLO LLC Razor-sharp thinking
OUR APPROACH
We are only 52 people and our
largest team is 15 developers, so
our clients get highly personalised
service.
Even as we’ve grown we’ve kept this
personalised approach to service -
our people speak English,
communicate clearly and directly,
and always deliver on their
promises.
We are SMALL,
So our clients are
BIG

YOU CAN’T BEAT FUN
FOR HAVING A GOOD TIME
• In some markets annual employee turnover averages 80-150%. That leaves clients on
the hook for constantly having to retrain outsourcing teams.
• The opposite is true at Volo & VoloMobile. We’ve created a culture that works hard and
plays hard such that our people stay. Our annual staff turnover is a ridiculously low 6-
10%.

41. VOLO LLC Razor-sharp thinking
OUR CORE
COMPENSATION MODELS
• PROJECT BASED - Have a short-term project or just want to kick our tires before you
commit to something longer? This is a great way to start. Our costs are transparent,
you only get billed for the hours we work, and our communication is daily and robust.
• TEAM BASED - When you are ready to hire a full-time team to drive or accelerate your
innovation processes, this is often the most cost effective approach.

We look forward to working with you!
