The exodus of foreign giants freed up a large market share, which Russian companies will enjoy. So, domestic vendors have a unique opportunity to bite off a significant part of the IT pie. Import substitution today is a compromise. We have to choose from existing Russian IT solutions. Customers are forced to create a new IT landscape, on the one hand, meeting the needs of the business, on the other, meeting the principles of digital sovereignty. What interesting IT products are in the company's basket, says the founder of Seven Group, Alexander Martynov. Read more here.

2018: Collusion "Progress of Software" and "Regionkom"

The FAS RF recognized the Rostec SSoftware company, known on the market as a co-developer of the Platon truck charging system, and the ex-Rostec structure, Regionkom, violated the antimonopoly laws of Russia^[1].

As part of the consideration of the case, the service found that the anti-competitive agreement was implemented at 22 tenders for the right to conclude state contracts for the provision of IT services for the needs of state organizations in 2015-2016. "The total amount of initial maximum contract prices amounted to about 140 million rubles," the FAS said in a statement.

It was not possible to determine at which tenders the collusion of these suppliers could occur at the time of publication of the material - since the evening of May 10, 2018, the public procurement website has been unstable.

According to the FAS, the cartel was implemented as follows: there was a de facto refusal to compete at the auction, as well as the section of auctions between the parties to the agreement.

In addition, a "formal" appearance of competition for participation in tenders conducted by state and municipal organizations and maintaining the initial maximum prices of contracts was created. Often the losing bidder became a sub-supplier under the contract, the regulator notes.

2015-2016: Connection with Alexei Nashchekin

In 2015, Regionkom was selected as the contractor of the Federal Agency for Nationalities Affairs to develop a system for monitoring interethnic conflicts. In 2016, the Vedomosti newspaper wrote that this system operates on the basis of the Leo Tolstoy product, developed by the National Telematic Systems company owned by former Rostelecom vice president Alexei Nashchekin, ^[2]

2014

Connection to major federal projects

After Rostec became a co-owner of Regionkom, the company was involved in the implementation of a contract between the state corporation and the Ministry of Health, according to which Rostec has been supporting key systems of the Unified State Information System in Healthcare (Uniform State Health Information System) since 2014 as the sole contractor and providing services to the data center test site .

In February 2014, Rostec also announced an agreement with the FMS on the participation of Regionkom "in the implementation of the project to introduce an electronic passport system in Russia."

Sergei Aslanyan intended to bring Regionkom to the Top 10 largest high-tech companies in the industry within three years. In 2014, the company planned to earn 10 billion rubles through two or three transactions.

But in April 2014, Aslanyan decided to leave Regionkom, announcing his intention to engage in his own investment projects (Alexander Martynov, a native of NVision, was appointed in his place), and after 1.5 months Rostec ceased to be a co-founder of Regionkom.

Rostec got rid of Regionkom and created RT-Electronic Services

In May 2014, the state corporation Rostec, represented by its daughter RT-Invest, announced a decision to withdraw from the authorized capital of Regionkom. The transaction to sell Rostec's stake in Regionkom was closed on May 23, 2014. Commercial information and details of the transaction were not disclosed.

The state corporation said that "it does not plan to reduce its participation in projects of strategic importance for the country," in connection with which it was decided "to create a specialized company that will unite the best industry specialists into a single team."

"The company has already been established and is functioning. It is called "RT-Electronic Services." Existing projects previously in the "Regionkom" have already been transferred to it. Our strategy is to consolidate industry leaders in this company and invest in the competence of the team, "a source in Rostec told CNews^[3]

2013: RT-Invest buys out Regionkom majority stake

In October 2013, RT-Invest holding, part of the state corporation Rostekhnologii, acquired control in the system integrator Regionkom. Former leaders of Regionkom claim that the company was a subsidiary of NVision Group, but NVision itself denies this^[4]

Control over the IT company Regionkom passed to the holding RT-Invest, its representative told CNews in October 2013. RT-Invest did not disclose the amount of the transaction, specifying that they received a majority stake as a result of investments in the authorized capital of Regionkom.

"Investments in IT are one of the priority areas for RT-Invest," a representative of the holding told CNews, adding that they "highly appreciate the potential of the team" by Regionkom.

The remaining co-owners of Regionkom are private individuals. Their names are not named in RT-Invest.

The Unified State Register of Legal Entities says that since 2012, 67% of Regionkom belonged to Tamara Bukulova, and 33% to Viktor Mikhailov.

After the transaction, 40% of Regionkom belonged to RT-Invest, 25% to Tsaritsyn Capital, the rest to private investors, RT-Invest told CNews. According to a representative of RT-Invest, the company will continue to develop "in accordance with the plan approved by the Board of Directors." His details were not disclosed.

The Regionkom website for October 2013 is under reconstruction, and its old version says that the company carried out projects to build cable systems, data centers, etc. Among the clients, Regionkom names the Supreme Arbitration Regionkom, Russian Post, VTB, Pension Fund, Rosatom, Rusal, MTS, Beeline and a number of others.

It is worth noting that Alexey Glotov, as well as two other founders of NVision, Anton Sushkevich and Dmitry Taraba in 2012-2013. significantly reduced their shares in NVision. In 2012, they entered into an agreement with AFK Sistema, according to which control over NVision (50% + 0.5 shares) passed to AFK (in turn, a number of assets of Sitronics were transferred to NVision).

From the message of the Vedomosti newspaper, it became known that half of the company Envizhn Group Management Company owned by Glotov, Sushkevich and Taraba (owns 50% -0.5 shares of NVision Group) was acquired by a minority shareholder of Rostelecom Konstantin Malofeev. Thus, the three founders of NVision now own about 25% of its shares.

Market participants, including the former general director of Regionkom, told CNews that the company is closely connected with the founders of the NVision group, in particular, with Dmitry Taraba and Alexei Glotov.

According to some market participants, after the sale of its packages in the company "NVision Group," its founders focused on the development of "Regionkom" and for this purpose attracted a subsidiary structure of "Russian Technologies" to partners.

At the end of 2013, ex-president of Sitronics Sergei Aslanyan became the general director of Regionkom. Sitronics, we recall, joined NVision when the latter came under the control of AFK Sistema.

Participation in the leadership of Regionkom, according to CNews sources, was taken by the ex-general director of NVision and the former vice president of Rostelecom Alexei Nashchekin. A number of other immigrants from NVision and Rostelecom were also employed by Regionkom.

2000s: Daughter "Envision Group"

Exact data on the structure of the owners of Regionkom were never disclosed. The company was created in the early 2000s, but has rarely declared itself publicly.

In the 2000s, Regionkom was closely associated with the system integrator NVision Group. In particular, from 2001 to 2005 the general director of Regionkom was Alexey Glotov, one of the founders and shareholders of NVision.

Together, the companies participated in a number of IT projects, for example, carried out R&D'Creation of an information system for ensuring the implementation of the MCP "Electronic Moscow" "in 2006.

In 2007, Sergey Kuptsov in an interview with CNews talked about Regionkom's interest in the informatization market. health care

Until 2008, Regionkom was headed by Sergey Kuptsov (in 2013 he works as the general director of RINTECH), who told CNews that during his work at the company she was a subsidiary of NVision Group.

This is also evidenced by the biographical certificate of Marina Bondarenko, Deputy General Director for Finance of Open Technologies, posted in 2013 on the official website of Open Technologies. It says that Bondarenko "from 2006 to 2009. worked as a financial manager, head of the management accounting department at ZAO NVision Group, was the financial director of Regionkom LLC (a subsidiary of ZAO NVision Group)."

At the same time, in 2013, the representative of NVision Voskresenskaya Valeria denied the affiliation of her company with Regionkom and insisted that Regionkom was not a subsidiary of NVision Group.

Alexey Glotov, according to her, was the general director of Regionkom in 2001-2005, but then concentrated on the business of NVision Group. At the same time, neither NVision Group nor Glotov have ever been the founders of Regionkom, she claims.
