According to them, the CAE class solution is designed to automate engineering calculations by simulating a number of physical processes: thermal calculations, electromagnetism, power and signal integrity, photonics, thermooptics, etc. The scope of the software will include to the electronic engineer the instrument making automotive industry and,,,, transport mechanical engineering shipbuilding to the power engineering specialist architectural design,, and construction food industry many other industries.

Computer modeling will allow assessing the influence of changing thermodynamic and electromagnetic parameters of the medium (pressure, speed, liquid flow rate, liquid and solid body temperature, deformation, electric field, current and voltage) both on electronics components, instrument units, and on the product as a whole. Information about the processes that affect the product and its individual elements during operation will enable the engineer to detect design problems early in the design phase and create work models without or with a minimum number of field experiments.

According to representatives of the T1 holding, a wide class of engineers will be able to quickly master and effectively use the software thanks to Russian technological developments that expand classical methods of numerical modeling, as well as thanks to the interface with EDA systems and deep integration into CAD.

"Knowing the global market well, we have selected 2 priority and closely related development areas: CAE for electronics and CAD-integrated CAE for engineers and designers. We are going to make a new breakthrough and create something that has no analogues in the world, - said Alexander Sobachkin, director of the center for competencies of engineering analysis and product development of the T1 Holding. "Multifysical engineering analysis and design process will become inextricable, which means faster creation of new equipment and reduced costs while improving the properties of the created products."

According to Mikhail Knigin, executive director of the T1, in 5 years a whole family of software will be created for the calculations necessary to create a component base of electronics, instrument units, elements and even final products.

"This large-scale project will require painstaking work by more than a hundred experienced developers in close cooperation with potential customers from many industries," the top manager said.

T1 CRM - partner of the conference "Import Substitution IT: New Experience"

1st place in the ranking "Largest IT suppliers in Russian banks"

The T1 Group took 1st place in the TAdviser rating, prepared on the basis of revenue from the implementation of IT projects in Russian banks in 2022 and published in December 2023. Read more here.

Revenue growth by 90% to 166.7 billion rubles

The revenue of the holding "T1" in 2022 increased by 90%, to 166.7 billion rubles with VAT, the company told TAdviser. In the ranking "TAdviser100: The largest IT companies in Russia 2023," such an indicator allowed the company to take 3rd place.

According to data for 2022

The growth driver was the development of existing areas: the largest contribution to the revenue was made by the development, supply and implementation of software, technical support, cloud services, explained in T1. In addition, the indicators were affected by a significant increase in customer demand within the framework of the need to ensure technological independence - from the refinement and implementation of domestic software products to the supply of equipment.

Over the year, the holding's staff increased by 85%: from 8.7 thousand to more than 16 thousand people. In addition to joining more than 2 thousand specialists as part of Servionica, over 10 teams of specialized engineers from vendors who left the Russian IT market joined the holding company. The new expertise made it possible to form areas: engineering analysis and product development of CAE class solutions (automation of engineering calculations due to simulation of physical processes), as well as industrial engineering and automation (development and implementation of APCS and MES solutions).

Along with this, the expertise of T1 in the areas of information security and expanded support for SAP and Oracle was strengthened. The company previously said that Oracle, in particular, was joined by a team that was responsible for the development of large-scale banking solutions.

The holding also increased the number of local partners to 200 companies, increased its status and increased expertise on key Russian vendors. The client portfolio has been diversified.

T1 customers include more than 600 companies, including industry leaders with a significant share of investments in IT: finance, retail, industry, telecom, transport, and the public sector.

As for working with the public sector, in particular, in 2022, T1 companies entered into a number of large government contracts. For example, TS Integration signed a contract with Tax-Service, the structure of the Federal Tax Service, for the supply of equipment, software and the creation of a software and hardware complex with a volume of about 2.5 billion rubles. With FMBA of Russia "TS Integration" concluded two state contracts for the supply of software and technical support in the amount of about 1.7 billion rubles each.

The multiple growth of financial indicators and the steady scaling of the business were the result of the fact that the holding "T1" increased the number of customers and projects, the pool of partners expanded. Today, 16 thousand specialists from more than 250 cities of Russia work with us. In 2022, the holding ahead of time fulfilled the key goals of the strategy, exceeding the targets for 2024, says Igor Kalganov, general director of the T1 holding.

Igor Kalganov, we recall, in 2022 was recognized as the "Top Manager of the Year in the IT market of Russia" according to TAdviser IT Prize 2022.

In 2022, the T1 holding formed and brought to the market a pool of its own products. Its key decisions are registered in the unified register of domestic software:

• For operational needs, the Dion corporate communications platform, the T1 Talent Management digital HR platform, the online meeting system Committee Online, and the T1 CRM customer relationship management core system are offered;
• Technology processes are focused on the Mirion, Kore.DWH and Kore.Datalake, MLFactory, T1 Cloud, IaaS + cloud resources, as well as the Sphere software development platform and CRM enterprise business portal;
• To support the activities of financial institutions, a digital banking platform, a comprehensive solution for switching to the tax monitoring mode "T1 Tax Monitoring," processing services have been developed.

Also in 2022, the transition to a new management structure and model began. The internal services of the holding companies have become centralized and are based on a service support center. Areas of activity were combined into clusters:

• The T1 cluster brought together technological areas, which made it possible to comprehensively cover the needs of market customers: IT outsourcing and subsequent service (Servionica), integration business (T1 Integration), IT consulting and business process automation (T1 Consulting), the use of cloud services (T1 Cloud).
• Innotech Cluster is a fintech solution provider, a single development center.
• ABM cluster (products and partnerships) is a multi-product vendor of domestic software, which is responsible for the development of its own platform products and the formation of an external partner network for distribution and integration of solutions.
• Datatech cluster specializes in working with big data.
• The Multicart cluster provides processing and acquiring solutions and services.

In 2022, we recall that VTB Bank sold its stake in T1 LLC, explaining this by the "planned restructuring of the investment portfolio and withdrawal from non-core assets"^[2] its^[3]

Agreement on testing hybrid cargo, transport and unmanned aircraft in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug

Governor of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug Yuri Vasilyevich Bezdudny, Ecolibri JSC, which develops vertical take-off and landing aircraft, and the T1 Group, one of the representatives of the Russian IT market, signed an agreement on creating conditions for testing the created types of hybrid cargo, transport and unmanned aircraft in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug and for cooperation in the field of development work for unmanned aerial vehicles. This was announced on December 9, 2022 by T1. Read more here.

Opening the Product Development Area for Industrial Engineering Analysis Automation

The T1 Group on October 6, 2022 announced the opening of a product development area for the automation of engineering analysis in industry.

The direction will be headed by Alexander Sobachkin, previously the director of the direction R&D in the company. The Siemens PLM T1 Group's Engineering Analysis and Product Development Competence Center will develop a class CAE product (Computed Aided Engineering computer). Such solutions are part of the complex of software developments for computer-aided design - they CAD are part of the stack of Product PLM Lifecycle Management technology.

The solution is intended for automation of engineering calculations due to simulation of a number of physical processes: hydrogas dynamics, heat transfer, electrical processes, calculation of strength of structures, etc. It will include several specialized modules, for example, "PCB Analysis Module," "Power Electronics Analysis Module," "Optics and Photonics Analysis Module," etc.

Computer modeling makes it possible to assess the influence of changing thermodynamic parameters of the medium (pressure, speed, liquid flow rate, liquid and solid body temperature, stress, deformation, etc.) on the designed product in real operating conditions. Information about the processes that occur during the operation of the product allows the engineer to clarify its characteristics and optimize them if necessary.

The use of a digital analysis model provides an opportunity to improve the quality of development and obtain an assessment of the performance of the product with significantly less time and money. Cost savings are achieved by detecting design problems in the early stages of design and reducing the number of expensive field experiments, including the possibility of completely abandoning them. In addition, routine operations are reduced and time is freed up for high-tech specialists who can focus on innovative tasks.

The product will be intended for design engineers and calculation engineers at design bureaus. The industry sphere of application is diverse: instrument engineering, aircraft engineering, rocket and space industry, automotive industry, mechanical engineering, shipbuilding, oil and gas industry, power, architectural design and construction, etc.

Based on the experience gained, we chose for our product the use of an integral calculation method based on improved classical analysis methods together with experimental characteristics and analytical models already "sewn" into the system. This approach will avoid the inherent time-consuming initial preparation of input data in standard CAE systems. And all this - without losing the accuracy of modeling. Thus, we will get an easy-to-use solution that can be used by both calculation engineers and non-specialists in the field of CAE: software research will require a minimum of costs, - said Alexander Sobachkin, director of the center for competencies in engineering analysis and product development of the T1 Group.

{{quote 'According to experts, high-quality CAE products can reduce simulation time by 75%, and increase performance by up to 40 times. The program requires a geometric model with specified operating conditions to form a thermodynamic picture that allows the designer to assess the need for product modification. It is much easier to make changes to the parameters of the model during digital tests than to the product itself, so the use of such technologies can increase the company's revenues by up to 10%, accelerate the time the product enters the market by 50% and improve quality by 25%, "said Mikhail Knigin, executive director of the T1. }}

The hybrid format assumes that employees come to the office on a flexible schedule, more than 40% of employees work outside the office more than 50% of their working hours. Office spaces are used for collaborative teamwork, while individual work can be done from home.

The hybrid office has many advantages for employees: they can independently choose a convenient work format: in a comfortable office, at home or where it is convenient, to build a harmonious lifestyle and work for themselves with the team.
