2021: The purchase of NPF Berkut cost Tele2 3.5 billion rubles
In March 2021, the cost of the deal to sell NPF Berkut to T2 RTK Holding (Tele2 brand) became known. As reported in the reports of Rostelecom (owner of the Tele2 operator), the purchase of a developer of billing systems cost the telecommunications operator 3.5 billion rubles.
Most of this amount (3.4 billion rubles) was paid in cash (without raising shares) after the transaction was concluded, the remaining payment was planned to be made within a year after the closing of the transaction.
An analyst at the Group of Companies Finam"" Leonid Delitsyn in a conversation with "" Sheets called the purchase of Berkut a strategic deal for Tele2, since, according to the expert, thanks to it, the cellular operator will be able to optimize network maintenance costs. The acquisition of the developer will reduce the cost of maintaining billing and accelerate the introduction of new products, Tele2 itself emphasized.
Billing systems of telecom operators, such as those supplied by Berkut, play the role of a central information system, in which information about all services and customers is concentrated. Changing the billing system is the strongest stress for a telecom operator, since migration to another solution will require suspension of payments with subscribers, a representative of one of the big four operators told the publication. Therefore, operators use the chosen solution once and try not to change the developer without extreme need, the source said.
The mobile billing market has long been distributed among federal telecom operators: MegaFon"" uses developer solutions Peter-service"" MTS - a billing system developed by the company, and NVision"" VimpelCom- a system from.

For two years, TD Media managed to introduce modern practices of development, software financial accounting and administrative control, as well as conclude several strategic transactions, in particular with the regional operator "-Yekaterinburg 2000" (operates under the "" brand), Motive as well as expand the contract with the operator Tele2Kazakhstan"."
Tele2 uses billing and platforms to connect additional services that Berkut is developing. Other operators use separate Berkut solutions.
 | Billing systems are, in fact, the heart, a key component of the activities of any telecom operator, providing a whole range of business-critical processes and functions, says Oleg Bratishko. - At the same time, Russian billing systems are currently one of the most advanced in the world.
