Our history
|
In 1992 in Saint-Petersburg the group of young experts established ALT Research and Consulting Firm. One of its first projects was the computer program for the analysis of investment projects’ efficiency called Alt-Invest. |
|
In that time UNIDO method was some kind of a discovery for economists. And first publications of Alt experts had not only generated a steady attachment of Russian investors to this small masterpiece, but also had caused a significant sales growth of Alt-Invest computer program. |
|
As the company developed, the experience acquired in consulting projects was being realized in new products and models. Alt-Finance «had grown» from the consulting project for Lakond JSC (Ladozhsky Kondensator). By the way, the project was heroic because it took place in winter in Novaya Ladoga (Leningrad region) in the recreation center, practically without heating. But in these «anticomputer» conditions it was necessary to use the prototype of the future program, namely the counting program of financial factors in spreadsheets. And when the program had been developed we understood, that after insignificant updating this product could be used by any company. |
|
Later Alt-Prognoz (Forecast) had been developed in the similar way out of two or three consulting projects. The company’s integrated computer model allowed to «figurize» and to compare the alternatives of development and then to understand what to do to improve economy of the company. |
|
In that time the word "budgeting" was still an exotic one and Alt-Prognoz (Forecast) actually became the first Russian product for intermediate term planning. |
|
Within 12 years two directions, namely strategic consulting and economic analysis, existed as divisions of one company. But with the lapse of time they became more and more independent. And in 2004 the decision to allocate the division engaged in the software and training of financial experts was made. The name of the company was prompted by clients who used our services for many years and often called the company by the name of its most popular product — Alt-Invest. But strategic partnership between two separated companies: ALT and Alt-Invest is kept. Specialists of these companies cooperate while working at some complex projects or holding different business events. |
