On May 2, 2024, Basis, a developer of solutions for organizing dynamic infrastructure, virtual desktops and providing cloud services, announced the completion of a deal to acquire 100% stakes in Rustek, a virtualization developer. Rustek was bought from I-Teco, one of the largest system integrators in Russia (according to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, since April 27, 2024, the company SBKlaud owned by I-Teco has left the founders of Rustek LLC).
The amount of the transaction was not disclosed, but Basis notes that it was carried out on market terms and paid in full at the expense of their company's own funds.
The integration of Rustek employees and products is planned to be completed by the end of 2024. "Basis" becomes a full successor to all obligations of "Rustek."
The entire team of the company, including managers, will be preserved, noted in "Basis." The accumulated expertise of Rustek employees will be used to develop the Basis ecosystem, and technologies will strengthen its market supply and will be integrated into the vendor's existing products using unified tools that provide flexible and native cross-product integration.
In particular, the Rustek Cloud Platform solution will expand the capabilities of Basis Dynamix, a platform for managing virtual servers and containers.
The acquisition of Rustek is part of our strategy for market consolidation, which we have been carrying out for more than three years and are not going to stop. During this time, we have accumulated a wealth of experience in integrating leading IT companies such as Digital Energy and Rock Software. Our goal is to occupy at least 50% of the virtualization market in Russia, and the deal with I-Teco is an important step towards achieving it. We highly appreciate the professionalism and accumulated expertise of the Rustek team, as well as the results that it was able to achieve. I am sure that the company's technical specialists will strengthen the Basis team, and Rustek products will allow us to expand the capabilities of our ecosystem, which will bring additional value to our clients and shareholders, "said David Martirosov, CEO of Basis. |
The revenue of "Basis" in 2023 increased by 772% compared to 2022, to 2.8 billion rubles, according to the database of legal entities "Kontur. Focus." The company ended the year with a net profit of 1.6 billion rubles. Rustek's revenue for the same period, on the contrary, decreased - by 37%, to 74.3 million rubles, and the company was in a net loss of 40.4 million rubles. The previous two years were profitable for Rustek.
The reasons for Rustek's loss-making in Basis could not be clarified by TAdviser. The company notes that the team was of primary importance to them at Rustek. David Martirosov says that their company strives for market leadership and as part of this strategy is considering various consolidation opportunities that can bring additional value to customers and shareholders.
One of the main restrictions on the development of companies in the Russian IT market is the lack of qualified personnel. Therefore, when considering possible M&A transactions, the key factor for us is how the acquired asset will help not only strengthen Basis's position in the target market segments, but also expand our team. We are also considering supplementing our ecosystem with promising developments that will strengthen the company's competitive advantages, "he told TAdviser. |
