Sovcombank for the year created one of the largest IT insights in the Russian market
About a year ago, Sovcombank assembled a team of about 2 thousand employees in its new insights company, Sovcombank Technologies. By the number of employees, Sovcombank Technologiya can be called one of the largest IT-insourcing companies in Russia, according to TAdviser ranking.
 | Sovcombank Technologies serves all companies of the Sovcombank financial group. One of the main tasks of the company is the development of the ecosystem for the Halva installment map project. Sovcombank Technologiya participates in innovative developments using biometrics, chat bots, conversational artificial intelligence and its application in the financial sphere, and also pilots new technologies, "Albert Boris, deputy chairman of the board of Sovcombank, told TAdviser in February 2022. - The company's staff now has about 2 thousand employees in various areas, closing all IT needs of the group's companies. |  |
The Sovcombank group, which, in addition to Sovcombank Technologies, also includes Sovcombank Insurance, Sovcombank Life, Sovcombank Factoring, Sovcombank Leasing and other companies, has over 22 thousand employees, Albert Boris added.
By the time the new IT incorser was created, the Sovcombank group already had an IT company that performed work for internal IT projects: in 2018, GMCS, which separated from Maykor, joined the group. For 500 million rubles, the bank acquired a 100% stake in G-Em-Si-Es Management (GMCS Management) from the Cyprus-based company G. Um. C. Es. Limited. "
In the financial statements of Sovcombank in 2021, it is mentioned that G-Em-Si-Es Management implements and supports software[1] A source familiar with the activities of this company says that the company does perform some projects for Sovcombank, but still continues to conduct its usual business: the company has many projects for other customers. On the GMCS website, among the last publicly announced customers are such well-known companies as Mitsubishi Corporation (RUS), MMK, Hoff, Rusal, Ascona, Leroy Merlin and others.
Sovcombank did not tell whether the Sovcombank Technologies team was formed, including from GMCS employees. According to the interlocutor of TAdviser, who is well acquainted with the activities of GMCS, the transfer of employees from this company to Sovcombank Technologies was not observed, and in the process of their activities the companies do not particularly intersect with each other. Apparently, the Sovcombank Technologiya team was formed at the expense of internal IT teams of other companies of the Sovcombank group and through hiring employees from the open market.
As of February 2022, the expansion of the incorser team continues. There are 225 vacancies in the ICT category on the HH recruitment website. Sovcombank Technologies requires testers, Java developers,.NET developers, system analysts, 1C analysts, IS analysts, banking software developers, DevOps engineers and many others.
At the same time, it follows from the description of vacancies that the Sovcombank Technologiya team is distributed in different locations in Russia, and recruits staff in many large cities for remote work. Sovcombank Technologiya has locations in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Saratov, Voronezh, an office in Novosibirsk Akademgorodok. The company is also a partner of Skolkovo.
And in January 2022, Sovcombank had a new working space in Turkey on the basis of a five-star hotel on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Groups from the back office of the bank and the technological subsidiary of the Bank - Sovcombank Technologies, whose work is 100% possible in a remote format, will gather here during the year. Sovcombank fully covers the cost of flying and staying in the hotel according to the Ultra all inclusive system, and also provides insurance for travelling abroad during the trip[2]
I must say that even after the appearance of GMCS in the financial group, and in 2021 after formations Sovcombank Technologies, Sovcombank continued to attract external contractors for some of its technological projects. So, for example, in July 2021, the developer of banking software Diasoft reported that he and Sovcombank are implementing a large-scale multi-stage project - transferring the functionality for working in bank financial the markets to the business development platform.
