"Korus Consulting CIS" changes its name to "Sberbank"

On September 25, 2020, it was announced that Korus Consulting CIS was renamed. The new name of the Russian operator of electronic document management and the supplier of Solutions SaaS for business is "Sberbank."

The company is part of the Sberbank group, the rebranding of which was officially announced on September 24, 2020. It is noted that the rebranding process (in addition to the name, "Korus Consulting CIS" changes the logo) will take several months and will be completed in December 2020.

As part of the rebranding, we tried to maintain the recognition of our company and demonstrate our connection with the Sberbank ecosystem. Changing the name will simplify communication with the brand, and will also help get rid of abbreviations that have ceased to reflect the current activities and strategy of the company, - said Alexander Savelyev, head of marketing at Sberbank.

The company has been operating under the Korus Consulting CIS brand since its acquisition by Sberbank in 2012. Starting as an EDO and EDI provider, Korus Consulting CIS has significantly expanded the list of presented business products over the past eight years, and is also actively developing in the custom development market. By the end of September 2020, the company's strategy includes the development of solutions for the integrated digitalization of business and government agencies.

According to Sergei Mashurin, head of Sberbank, the company is constantly expanding its capabilities and areas of presence, having long moved on to the following global goals: creating convenient and functional products for businesses of different segments, developing and implementing new generation digital tools.

From this point of view, rebranding and changing the name to "Sberbank" is a landmark event that emphasizes the compliance of our plans with the strategy of Sberbank, "Mashurin emphasized.

Inclusion in the list of backbone organizations of Russia

On April 29, 2020, Sberbank announced that Korus Consulting CIS (part of the Sberbank ecosystem) was included in the list of backbone organizations of the Russian economy in the field of information technology, communications and mass media, which was approved by the Government Commission to improve the sustainability of the development of the Russian economy and the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media of Russia.

The latest version of the list reflects and groups 91 organizations by sub-sectors of information and communications. The list was updated by the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications of Russia based on the results of assessing compliance with established industry indicators and criteria for classifying organizations as system-forming.

The inclusion of KORUS in the list suggests, first of all, that we, like other companies from the list, are useful to our customers and are necessary to maintain a favorable economic environment as a whole. In such unstable times for business, it is very important to understand exactly what place the company occupies and what the state sees in terms of positioning in the market, said Sergey Mashurin, head of KORUS Consulting CIS

Backbone organizations are large corporations and holdings that make a significant contribution to the development of the country's economy. Inclusion in the list of backbone provides the company with access to preferential lending and state guarantees for investment projects, debt refinancing, etc.

2019:81% profit growth to RUB 335 mln

On February 19, 2020, Korus Consulting CIS announced the results of its work in 2019.

In 2019, the company increased its profit to 335 million rubles (by 81% compared to 2018) and revenue to 1.95 billion rubles. The total amount of supplies through KORUS services exceeded 4 trillion rubles.

The Company completed 2019 as Sberbank's main vendor for IT development of the Bank's automated systems, both by the number of projects implemented and by the total amount of contracts.

In 2019, KORUS continued to transfer Sberbank Group's business processes to electronic document management. In 2019, the traffic of electronic documents between the bank and its counterparties increased by 33% and exceeded the mark of 15 million documents. The share of electronic universal transfer documents (EUPD) amounted to 97% of the total number of APDs that Sberbank sent to its customers. Processes have been transferred to EDO: document flow on operations on the stock market, business processes on engineering companies and the exchange of documents between Sberbank PJSC and its suppliers on internal business transactions.

KORUS expands the scope of EDO in the field of lending, providing electronic circulation of 100% of credit monitoring documents and developing technological infrastructure at all stages of concluding a credit transaction. 83% of credit and security documents (RCD) in the segment of large and medium-sized businesses are signed for February 2020 in electronic form. For loans of the small and micro-business segment (MMB), electronic signing of the Code and consents to the processing of personal data was implemented, while 90% of electronic signatures for MMB clients are issued by the KORUS Certification Center within 2-3 minutes. Also in 2019, KORUS was responsible for the implementation of a whole cluster of projects ("Credit Factory UL," "Collegial Bodies" and AS RCD), which help to automatically form the necessary documentation between the bank and the borrower, as well as AS "Commercial Real Estate Aggregator." As of February 19, 2020, projects are at the stage of implementation and pilot operation.

The main expertise of the company - automation of business processes, electronic document management, software development and IT consulting - is used not only by companies of the Sberbank ecosystem, but also by hundreds of thousands of legal entities throughout Russia. At the same time, KORUS does not work according to the usual time material model for the market (supply of IT specialists), but according to the principles of the project approach: a separate IT team is allocated for each development project, which takes over the development of a separate automated system. This model of work allows you to increase expertise and develop competence centers within yourself.

Sales of KORUS services through Internet-bank for legal entities Sberbank Business Online (SBBOL) doubled at the end of 2019. 7 out of 37 non-banking services SBBALL are integrated SaaS KORUS services.

Over the past 4 years, our company has grown from a highly specialized electronic document management operator to one of the most dynamically developing IT companies on the Russian market. We have a good expertise in the field of IT development in the financial sector and retail, a large line of digital services that allow us to close almost any customer needs. More than half a million individuals, legal entities and individual entrepreneurs use our services in their work every month. Our strategy for the next 4 years is to become the largest IT company in Russia, to contribute to the development of Sberbank's ecosystem and digital platform and its distribution at the federal and municipal levels and in the business environment. said Sergey Mashurin, head of KORUS Consulting CIS

In total, 468 legal entities were on the sanctions list, of which 81 were related to the IT sphere. Among the companies that fell under the sanctions was also Korus Consulting CIS. Read more here.

Compliance of OFD technical means with the legislation of the Russian Federation

Korus Consulting CIS received an expert opinion from the Russian Association of Cash Register Manufacturers (RAPKaT), thus, a step towards obtaining the status of an OFD (fiscal data operator). Being the coordinating body of entrepreneurial activity in the field of development, production, maintenance and use of cash registers (KKT), the non-profit organization RAPKaT conducts an examination and issues an expert opinion confirming the compliance of the technical means of the OFD with the current legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of application of KKT. Obtaining an expert opinion of the association means that the technical means of Korus Consulting CIS comply with the current legislation.

Before receiving the status of OFD "Korus Consulting CIS" connects clients to the partner's service - "OFD Platform" - with subsequent transfer to its own service "Korus OFD." Regardless of the connection scheme, Korus Consulting CIS reserves technical support and customer support.

2016: 34.8% revenue growth

In 2016, the revenue of KORUS Consulting CIS amounted to 1,061 billion rubles, which is 34.8% higher than the same figure in 2015. [1] According to the results of 2016, KORUS Consulting CIS took 63rd place in the ranking "TAdviser100: The Largest IT Companies in Russia."

2015

By 2015, KORUS Consulting CIS is one of the participants in the V2V electronic document management market. The company's products - services V2V legally significant document management (EDO), reporting to government agencies and electronic data exchange in retail ( EDI) are used by more than 70 thousand companies, including about 200 of the country's largest retail chains. In 2015, KORUS Consulting CIS became one of the TOP-100 largest IT companies in Russia.

The company employs more than 350 specialists. KORUS Consulting CIS offices are located in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Novosibirsk.

2014

Revenue growth of 30%

Korus Consulting CIS revenue increased by 30% in 2014.

The volume of EDO traffic increased 6 times

According to Korus Consulting CIS, in 2014 the company's strategy for priority connection to its services of large and medium-sized businesses showed its effectiveness. The operator began to provide EDI and legally significant electronic document management services for 70 new large retail chains. According to the estimates of the research agency J'son & Partners Consulting, in the electronic document management market, it is large customers who generate more than 80% of the total traffic of electronic documents. This state of affairs will continue in 2015, with the exception of the reporting segment to government agencies, where the traffic of the EDO operator, for the most part, depends only on the number of customers.

As noted in Korus Consulting CIS, in 2014 the electronic document management market grew unevenly in various sectors of the economy, with a clear leadership of retail. In industries such as large industry and FSUEs, where enterprises have large accounting staff, and the speed of processing documents slightly affects the production and financial performance of the enterprise, there is also a weaker interest in the introduction of electronic document management. For these organizations, almost the only incentive for EDO is the active role of the Federal Tax Service in transferring Russian legal entities to reporting in electronic form, including purchase and sales books, as well as further work on translating most of the documents necessary for business into electronic format.

The Company registered an accelerated increase in the number of projects related to the integration of external electronic document management services with corporate accounting systems of enterprises - 2 times compared to the overall growth dynamics of the number of clients. In total, in 2014, Korus Consulting CIS specialists completed more than 600 custom integration projects, not counting typical integration services using software adapters to 1C and other accounting systems. "This suggests that an increasing number of EDI/EDO users are realizing the benefits of exchanging documents sent directly from accounting systems," the company said.

As for the segments of legally significant EDO and reporting to government agencies, 2014 was important for these areas as the year of the start of the campaign to seize a more significant market share than the company occupied in previous years. Thus, the volume of EDO traffic through Korus Consulting CIS increased by 6 times compared to 2013, and the number of clients of this segment - by 11 times. According to company representatives, these figures are largely related to the "low base effect" of 2013.

It is possible to transfer mandatory reporting to the Federal Tax Service through Korus Consulting CIS in all regions of the country without exception

On July 31, 2014, the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation and Korus Consulting CIS signed agreement No. 7 "On joint actions to ensure the functioning of the electronic document management system through telecommunication channels." This was reported to CNews by Korus Consulting.

The agreement provides for the right of direct interaction between Korus Consulting CIS and the Departments of the Federal Tax Service (UFNS) throughout the country and with interregional inspections of the Federal Tax Service, including for the largest taxpayers and the Crimean Federal District. Thus, it is now possible to transfer mandatory reporting to the Federal Tax Service through Korus Consulting CIS in all regions of the country without exception, the company said.

"Despite the fact that we focus not only on reporting services to government agencies, this service is a necessary component of our comprehensive offer to the market. Sooner or later, any client of our company exchanging electronic documents with his partners may need to send them to the Federal Tax Service, and we fully provide this opportunity throughout Russia, "commented the event director of Korus Consulting CIS Ilya Rubtsov.

2012

In May 2012, it became known that Sberbank became a co-owner of Korus Consulting CIS, according to the bank's documents. According to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, Sberbank owns 90% of the company's authorized capital. The remaining 10% is owned by its general director Leonid Yakubovsky^[1].

Earlier (as of March 2012), Korus Consulting CIS was 65% owned by the Cypriot company Dorinetko Limited, 20% by Leonid Yakubovsky, 15% by Alexander Semenov, General Director of the Korus Consulting group.

A source close to Sberbank said that the acquired company will be integrated into the direction of working with corporate clients.

Note that the leaders of Sberbank have repeatedly announced their intention to make the bank a hi-tech corporation.

"The implementation of settlements, money transfers, the formation of electronic demand and supply for goods and services have become as everyday as communication between Internet users through social networks and e-mail," Victor Orlovsky senior vice president of Sberbank told TAdviser, explaining the essence of the Business Environment project launched by Sberbank. This project, according to Orlovsky, will be "evidence of the formation of a new business-oriented social architecture for Russia, in which the interests of entrepreneurs, consumers, the state and the bank itself will be closely integrated."

"On the one hand, the decisions of Korus Consulting CIS will allow Sberbank to expand the set of tools for ensuring communications between its clients," said Petr Didenko, director of strategic development at SKB Kontur. "On the other hand, access to the EDI system will allow the bank to see more data about customer transactions and offer them more targeted services."

2005

On November 3, 2005, the KORUS Consulting CIS brand was registered as a separate legal entity under the idea that electronic document management will eventually cover the entire combined market of the CIS states.

2004

At the turn of 2004 and 2005, the Board of Directors of the parent company KORUS Consulting assessed the high potential of EDI technology in the network retail market, becoming a pioneer in the use of EDI in Russia. With the support of a technology partner represented by COMARCH, the first implementation projects were completed.
