CIO of Sberbank - about transfer of thousands IT shnikov in bank and the fate of SberTech of the Interview of TAdviser

Transfer process of employees takes place Sberbank within the next stage of agile-transformation of a management system of Group. According to the accepted methodologies, as a part of our product commands in the hard contact work both developers, and representatives of business (owners of a product). They work together and within uniform process, report to the same heads therefore their further separation on different legal entities became inexpedient.

We deeply and attentively got acquainted with experience of similar transformation of a number of the largest financial companies of Europe and the USA. We did not manage to find model which can be copied from us completely. But in general all basic principles of agile-transformation are very similar and they are the cornerstone of our construction.

All who are involved in creation and development of client applications pass into PJSC Sberbank. SberTech will focus on development of a technology platform of bank. About two thirds of the current structure of SberTech will be transferred to Sberbank. Also some part of employees will be translated in the opposite direction.

Everything will remain at the previous level. Certainly, it is an important issue for our employees and process of reorganization is built so that nobody suffered any material damage.

All employees are built already in our management processes. In fact only the formality and all process of transition for employees changes it is built absolutely seamlessly — they will need to sign some papers.

SberTech was and will remain to one of the largest IT companies in the country. The problem of creation of a technology platform for group Sberbank - difficult, complex, requires participation of the best professionals in a number of the directions of technology and engineering sectors. We, of course, will develop necessary competences, using as possibilities of labor market, and training our specialists and heads.

Sberbank has enough tasks completely to load SberTech in the near future.

We have the same situation, as at all Russian market: highly skilled software developers, IT architects, specialists in the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence are required. To us several hundred new "IT specialists" come annually and this speed will not decrease.
