We have decided to make a stronger move and will integrate the assets of the largest IT companies to create the biggest player on the Russian IT market. In terms of providing synergies, the integration will combine the competences of our joint project teams and diversify the client portfolio. It will also enable us to offer unique solutions for customers in different segments of the business in various countries. Our representative offices now cover the whole of Russia from Vladivostok to St. Petersburg and include many countries in the CIS, Eastern Europe and South Asia. As a result of the integration, a new large market player has emerged, which will be able to carry out highly complex infrastructure projects and become a key partner for businesses and the State as they look to modernise and build an innovation-driven economy.”

We believe that partnership is the most effective way to overcome difficulties and keep up with innovations. The level of experience and competencies of both companies’ professionals perfectly compliment each other, which will appeal to both customer bases. We believe that working together we can offer more, providing our customers with a greater range of products and services. First and foremost our partnership will be beneficial to the State and its long-term projects as we can offer reliable execution, unique technologies and the ability to implement projects efficiently and in a timely manner. We are confident that the integration will also support the industry, market and Russian economy as a whole, especially its high-tech segment.”
