In 2008 I started Internet radio RTS.Fm (Radio Tochka Station). And I wanted to add to a sound and the video image of the DJ (the camera removed radio DJs and transferred stream video to the Internet). Then I faced a serious problem. It was impracticable to find the specialists able to develop applications for flash-media of servers. All of us could gather a team of developer enthusiasts, and in two months started video broadcasting on RTS.Fm. Emergence of this service led to the fact that the popularity of a resource exceeded our expectations: without advertizing we received over two thousand unique visits a day.
After that I began to study seriously possibilities of video services and to look for business cases of their possible application. The case of one American company also inspired me on creation of a product for webinars, and I already had a development team.
The project in April of the 2010th started, and for the first year of sales of Comdi.com attracted more than 300 clients, having earned 17 million rubles. Originally we calculated that service will be interesting, generally to training and consulting firms, however the market gave surprises. Among clients there were companies from the financial sector, retail, tourism and medicine.[1]
The world market of web conferences grows with impressive dynamics: this type of communications already became the integral instrument of communication in the companies of any sizes, providing significant cost reduction and convenience of communication. VTB Capital highly appreciated perspectives of development of our product in Russia. In spite of the fact that COMDI entered the market only two with small a year ago, the company signed usage contracts of service with a number of the largest Russian and international companies. Process of negotiations about VTB Capital took about a year, the due diligence procedure took some more months. At the moment VTB Capital is the main beneficiary of the company. For us such support of VTB guarantees availability of additional financial resources that is important for systematic development of technical infrastructure. Besides, it allows to protect business from unfair competition. We also have an opportunity to employ highly professional managers and to form really high quality team.
