In addition, OBIT will have an upper-level institute of strategic leaders responsible for the strategic development of all areas of the company's activities.

The Department of Information Technology will be headed by Kirill Timofeev, who previously held the position of head of the department for the operation of infrastructure and services. In this position, Timofeev is responsible for coordinating the work of all IT blocks and increasing the competitiveness of OBIT solutions in the information technology market. The department will include three areas: the automation department, which is engaged in the maintenance of internal information systems; Support and Product Development Management responsible for implementing partner products and developing application software management of the operation of infrastructure and services, whose competence includes the maintenance of infrastructure solutions. Outside the jurisdiction of the department, the R&D division operates - the direction team is exploring new opportunities to ensure comprehensive import-independent digitalization of Russian companies, and is also developing a partner network of vendors.

The second structural change concerns the creation of an institute of strategic leaders responsible for the implementation of projects in the key areas of the IT solutions operator: information technology, communications and telecommunications, engineering and construction, social responsibility and sustainable business development. Among these leaders is Mikhail Telegin, Deputy General Director for Strategic Projects, Kirill Stroganov as Deputy General Director for Business Development. The company has formed the position of Deputy General Director for Innovation and IT, which is also part of the strategic leaders.

In the communication segment (Internet, telephony, data transmission channels), revenue increased by 6%, in the video surveillance segment - by 10%.

Despite the difficult economic situation in Russian business, the company managed to increase its subscriber base, while the capital region became the growth driver, where the number of subscribers increased by 21%, as well as Tatarstan with an increase of 11%.

ARPU grew by 12% and amounted to about 22 thousand, which is 4% higher than in 2021.

The key event in 2022 was the separation of IT solutions for business into a separate division within the company, which will allow us to focus on increasing the share of non-telecommunications services in the company's revenue.

Of the external projects, the most significant were the FVNO partnership agreements MTS with and, Megaphone which involve the use of the OBIT infrastructure in and, St. Petersburg Leningrad Region as well as with the domestic developer of network security solutions.

Such a significant gap from market indicators - and at the end of 2022 their growth amounted to only 1.8% - suggests that we timely and correctly chose the direction of the company's strategic development towards the IT segment, - said Andrey Guk, General Director of OBIT LLC. - But what is even more important - it is thanks to this choice that we were able to quickly respond to the requests of the business that faced challenges in 2022, and offer them up-to-date solutions and tools.

OBIT is an operator-integrator of complex IT and telecom solutions for business. The company provides services to corporate clients in 90 cities of Russia and neighboring countries.

As of April 2022, the company acted as a supplier of high-tech services, including both telecommunications (creation of corporate networks, Wi-Fi networks, organization and lease of channels, telephone and Internet, IPTV) and non-telecommunications products (cloud services, data center services, virtual servers, IT outsourcing, video surveillance, organization of RACCO, civil defense and emergency situations, ensuring uninterrupted energy supply).

Digital Transformation in a New Reality - Predictions and Perspectives

On March 2, 2022 To Moscow , they will discuss the possibilities for the practical implementation of ideas for improving efficiency using digital and. information technology

The TAdviser Internet portal, with the support of OBIT and other IT market leaders, is holding the Digital Transformation Day 2022 conference. The conference is devoted to topical issues of digital business transformation in various industries and segments of the economy.

OBIT, which celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2022, is also in the process of transformation - in accordance with the new development strategy, the integrator operator is being transformed into a full-fledged IT partner for business. This implies, first of all, the expansion of the portfolio of non-operator services and the strengthening of IT competencies. This decision was made in response to a request from the company's customers - as shown over the past two years, the business prefers an integrated approach and selects contractors who can close a whole pool of questions and tasks.

One of these competencies is the support and maintenance of software products for contact centers. OBIT, as an official partner of Naumen, ensures the integration of developer solutions with the client's telephony system and the uninterrupted operation of the contact center on the new platform. OBIT also undertakes the customization of Naumen products for business tasks and specifics of the client's activities and the introduction of individual requirements with the involvement of its own resource in terms of product development: integration with instant messengers, development of statistical forms and metrics, data collection tools.

OBIT also provides services for the integration of other digital products and solutions into the IT infrastructure of its clients, including those created on the basis of its own developments. At the beginning of the year, the company completed a project to modernize the telephony of a large financial organization, replacing the PBX of the previous generation with a new, modern system. Its architecture is based on the software complex that OBIT created for its product - virtual telephony, launched in 2021. The project, carried out by OBIT specialists, allowed the client to implement one of the stages of the current digital transformation of his business.

Oleg Lebedev, Head of the OBIT Development Department, will talk more about this and other OBIT projects, who will make a report "IT outsourcing as an instrument of competitiveness and response to the challenges of the new reality."

OBIT subscriber base

Revenue growth of the Moscow office by 130%

During this time, the number of new subscribers in the region increased by 50%, and the ARPU indicator - by 12% and amounted to 17,440 rubles. OBIT reported this on March 25, 2021.

The revenue of the Moscow office of the integrator operator increased by 130%, of which 82% falls on telecom services at commercial real estate and 48% - on the provision of communication services at the client's sites.

The revenue structure in the capital region was influenced by the same factors as the results of the St. Petersburg and Kazan offices of the company: a massive transition to remote work, quarantine restrictions, and a reduction in operating costs. So, despite the fact that revenue from the Wi-Fi service for business showed 17% growth, against the background of the company's plans to increase it by 60% by the end of the year, this indicator clearly demonstrates a drop in demand. At the same time, the demand for virtual services for business has almost doubled: creating remote desktops and support lines, migrating 1C to clouds, renting servers (Enterprise-level IaaS, Dedicated servers, VPS/VDS, Colocation, object storage). 20% growth was demonstrated by IT outsourcing for business, which is due to the desire of companies to optimize IT infrastructure maintenance costs and PHY cuts.

The main drivers of the development of the Moscow division of OBIT are still projects to provide communication services in shopping centers, as well as cooperation with large retail chains.

A significant event in the framework of the implementation of the strategy for expansion into the Moscow market was the development of the Moscow City Moscow Center, where OBIT conducted its own fiber-optic network.

According to the results of 2018, the subscriber base of the OBIT home network reached 45 thousand households. According to the company's specialists, it occupies 1.5-2% of the telecom market for individuals in St. Petersburg. In this area, the operator plans to increase activity and grow by more than 50% of the current indicator. However, OBIT still does not plan to fully cover all districts of the city and will work only with new houses, connecting them during the construction phase.

The share of the central office in St. Petersburg in the revenue structure amounted to 89.3%, the branch in Kazan - 5.6%, the division in Moscow - 5.1%. Since 2015, the Kazan branch of the company has been one of the three largest Internet providers in Kazan and Tatarstan and demonstrates a stable annual growth of 20-25%. The same indicator is laid down in the plan for 2019.

The operator's subscriber base in Moscow exceeded 1000 legal entities. The operator expects growth by 50% in 2019, it must ensure an active process of connecting the shopping and entertainment complex and business centers of the capital.

The revenue of the engineering company in 2018 amounted to 73.9 million rubles (including VAT).

File:Aquote1.png
I want to note 2 important areas that we actively developed in 2018 and which largely contributed to successful revenue growth results. Firstly, it is the construction of the OBIT HR brand: we have developed and implemented an updated internal corporate development policy, increasing employee engagement and the employer satisfaction index. Secondly, our other important driver of growth is innovation. We have created a development center that collects and analyzes big data, released a new Wi-Fi platform with advanced marketing functionality, and reorganized our business processes within the company. This year we will continue all these undertakings in order to maintain the existing growth rate of the company, - said Andrey Guk, CEO of OBIT.

OBIT enters the uninterrupted power supply market

In June 2018, OBIT announced its entry into the energy supply market. Thanks to an alliance with the engineering company Enkom, the integrator operator diversifies its business and expands its service portfolio.

OBIT joins forces with the supplier and manufacturer of emergency, backup and uninterrupted power supply systems Enkom. In addition to telecommunications and IT solutions, the group of companies created by them will offer a range of uninterrupted power supply services for corporate and private clients.

2017: Subscriber IT Support Service

The service includes technical support for workplaces, system administration of servers and computer networks.

The creation of the IT support service began back in 2016, by May 2017 it was finally formed, workflows were established and the first clients were connected. The launch of the service took place as part of a strategy to provide subscribers with an integrated service that meets all their needs in the telecommunications and IT sphere. The main advantages of this approach for subscribers: cheaper maintenance of the IT infrastructure, saving time due to a single center of responsibility, speeding up problem solving thanks to the teamwork of OBIT employees of various specializations.

The use of OBIT resources - narrow specialists, encrypted data transmission channels, a data center, and technical support services - allows you to ensure the security of the information infrastructure, select and maintain the desired degree of confidentiality and control the solution of all tasks in automatic mode. The operator also offers rare services in this area, for example, monitoring the technical condition of user workstations.

"The
IT outsourcing service, of course, has long been known and in demand. This market is highly competitive, but highly unbalanced by a large number of participants with insufficient qualifications and a frivolous approach. And in the staff of "OBIT" - in addition to directly employees of the IT outsourcing department - more than 200 certified technical specialists. Each of them is ready to connect to solving the problem with the client's IT equipment at his request instantly. Such teamwork is our main competitive advantage, because instead of one or two outsourced employees, we essentially offer a staff capable of solving any, the most narrowly specialized problem on the client's side, "explained Andrey Guk, General Director of OBIT.

According to him, the IT support service is especially in demand by network companies with a head office in Moscow. He also stressed that the use of this service does not necessarily imply the refusal of the company from a full-time IT specialist: the interaction between the employees of the client company and OBIT has proven to be the most effective in solving difficult problems.
