Kamil Gazizov Biography

All this time, Gazizov shunned the media and did not give an interview. The vow of silence was violated today in the federal resource of CNews. We offer an interview to readers of Real Time. Camille of the Gazizov: Speaking comprehensively, there are three main tasks: consolidation and centralization of procurement activities in IT; the development of a single IT strategy for the Civil Code and enterprises, which will lead to the emergence of unified technical policy and technical standards; And, of course, the creation of a competence center in key IT experts.

At this stage, the RT-inform is experiencing extensive growth, due to the fact that the IT function is in demand, and many managers realized that IT is one of the growth triggers for business as a whole, and ceased to consider it as a cost center. In addition to the tasks that lie on the surface and are obvious, there are still a number of strategic goals-this is the creation of a single information space in the defense industry, and the replication of Best Practice in the industry, and import substitution, and participation in research and promising initiatives in terms of IT.

In general, I note that there is an explosive dynamics of development of IT, which can be judged by the disproportionate growth of RT-inform revenue and by the challenges that are faced with RT-Inform at present. Initially, 12 people worked at RT-Inform, by the New Year we will have more employees. If we turn back, when we just started our work, the situation looked different-some of the procurement were extremely opaque.

In the framework of increasing the efficiency of IT funds, we are involved in operational activities. Now we have a more productive interaction with the functional customer and the contractor, we clearly understand the tasks of the business, their priority. We increased the intra -group financial circulation, increased competencies, examination, and the circle of tasks expanded. Innopolis in Tatarstan is the most suitable place in CNews: why did you decide to transfer part of the team to Kazan?

Which part of the team works in Kazan? Kamil Gazizov: Taking into account the stages of development of “RT-inform”, it should be noted that the business model will be transformed towards the provision and provision of services and services. Therefore, the relocation of "Production" is logical. Innopolis in Tatarstan is the most suitable place, the choice is not accidental.

There is a large bush of advanced enterprises "Rostec". Among other things, a huge role is played by the high potential of universities, developed infrastructure and, of course, the existence of a concept for the development of information technologies at the regional policy level. Somewhere two-thirds of the staff will work in the Kazan office. In Moscow, the front office will remain, necessary for interaction with the central apparatus, vendors and partners.

In Kazan there will be a back-office responsible for personnel, purchases, legal support, developers and a call center. Obviously, this is cheaper and without loss in the qualification of employees, because Kazan is known for its strong specialization in information technology. The republican policy of Tatarstan pays great attention to the preparation of new IT cadres, it is worth using it.

CNews: You noted that the loss of previous years was associated with other tasks that were set before the company. What influenced a change in strategy? Kamil of the Gazizov: both internal and external factors influenced. Starting from organizational changes within the state corporation and ending with the geopolitical situation, which exposed the pressing problems of industry in the IT field.

Camille of the Gazizov: Based on the results of the year, it was possible to practically reduce the losses of previous periods to zero, completely organize and establish business processes within the company, register the regulations of interaction between RT-Inform and counterparties and formulate a three-year program of activity. Already in the first quarter of the year, we showed a significant profit.

I will refrain from mentioning numbers, at the end of the year the result will be clear. I can only say that multiple improvement of indicators is planned. The choice of Innopolis is not accidental, in Tatarstan it is the most suitable place. There is a large bush of advanced enterprises "Rostec". Camille of Gazizov: such centers as design-analytical, technical infrastructure, testing.

The centers increase competence, including to determine the value of our decisions - how much they are imported and consistent with the criteria of the domestic manufacturer. In the case of foreign decisions, non -draft capabilities are revealed. CNews: Probably, this is for the most part concerns the testing center. Are there already the results of his activities?

Kamil Gazizov: Testing Center in the Creation process. Before the New Year, we will form it, the first results of its activities will appear at the end of the year. We intend to use these results not only for our own purposes, but also to provide other interested participants for the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Also in the RT-Inform there are centers for information security and response to cybehrerosis.

We have very big plans and tasks for the development of this particular direction.In the military-industrial complex, attention was not paid to information security to the necessary extent. We are in a slight shock from the number of attacks, the threats that the state corporation and its enterprises are subjected to. To minimize risk, we will conduct a number of educational measures, we will introduce a lot at the level of information systems.

Kamil Gazizov: enterprises of the state corporation. If earlier many enterprises were caused with caution and skepticism to RT-Inform, now the opposite situation, enterprises themselves are asking for control of a particular project. CNews: What projects do enterprises contact you? Vendors also seek to work through RT-inform, because interaction through one point is always transparent and prompt.

The target task of RT-Inform-after 2-3 years, go completely to the service model of service. CNews: Does the contract conclude RT-inform, and a specific enterprise becomes the beneficiary for it? Kamil Gazizov: That's right. We introduce the practice of concluding a corporate agreement with vendors, from which we form a large amount of order, achieve discounts, and apply it to all corporation enterprises.

Often the large customer due to the volume of the vendor gives the maximum possible discount, and for the enterprise that makes single, small orders and is outside the perimeter of the strategic interests of the vendor, the discount is very small. Our task is to create equal conditions, a single pricing policy for all corporation enterprises so that the price is as acceptable as possible.

CNews: That is, the company has two main directions of your work: the first is to control the interaction with the vendor in the interests of another corporation; The second, when the RT-Inform itself is directly a contract under a contract? Kamil of the Gazizov: You are partially right, because it is impossible to cover the entire market. We have no task to kill small and medium -sized enterprises.

If we strive to control and implement everything, our expenses will grow. Therefore, the next goal is the implementation of centralized projects, such as treasury, budgeting, document management. The second task is the concentration on large iconic projects, which are broadcast on all enterprises on the holding scale. The so -called “Vest Practice” is a reference project from which a replicated unified decision is born.

We are concentrated in these areas. Kamil Gazizov: The chairman of the board of directors was the Executive Director of the State Corporation, responsible for the strategy, information and communication, Sergey Kulikov for the organization. The Council included Vasily Brovko, director of communications and strategic research of the state corporation; Sergey Aslanyan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Maxim Telecom, which implements a unique project of Wi-Fi in the Moscow metro, Andrei Vatutin and I.

We try to invite not only people working in state corporations, but also independent directors who can bring new competencies and market experience. CNews: Denis Sverdlov did not join the directors? Kamil Gazizov: Denis Sverdlov was not included in the current composition, because he concentrated now on international projects. We try to invite not only people working in state corporations, but also independent directors who can bring new competencies and market experience, people who can look at our activities from the outside.

Kamil Gazizov: There is no consolidated budget. Each holding and enterprises have its own items. There is no rule that the budget should be formed for us or is controlled centrally. But if you reduce the budgets of all enterprises, then it is indirectly to understand what the scale of expenses as a whole has an IT corporation. There are iron, software, components, implementation projects, service services.

Since the year, the IT budget of the corporation has grown 2.5 times and is planned at the level of 18.6 billion per year. CNews: Which part is provided for the acquisition of domestic decisions?

As we know, the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Communications approved plans for import substitution of electronics and software. The landmark is clear, we will strive for him, but the situation is double. Definitely we are opponents of the fact that it is frantic to replace everything, not being ready for this. The problem of import substitution in the form as it is voiced, did not ripen for a long time, but appeared unexpectedly a year ago.

And we must be honest with each other, before we had no such task. We lived in a cosmopolitan, very friendly world. Therefore, our actions will be balanced and neat, they should not harm the existing production and business. We are actively working with Rostec enterprises, in particular the united instrument-building corporation, the largest developer and manufacturer of domestic IT solutions.

We carefully study the products, try to understand which market we can form for IT manufacturers. Our enterprises - have unique examinations, developments, but largely in the field of defense. What is used for the Ministry of Defense and the army, excessively for our civilian segment. Accordingly, this leads to a rise in the cost of products. We are now jointly, in particular with the defense industry, state corporations, external partners, are developing promising areas where these achievements will be useful.

CNews: Will these developments be useful in civil, market application? Kamil Gazizov: Yes. Camille of Gazizov: There are advanced developments that are absolutely interesting to many American and Chinese manufacturers. But the industrial production of these products is still far away. Our task is to form a market. In order to reduce the price of the product and achieve its competitiveness, it must have a large circulation.

When the circulation appears, we will definitely be able to painlessly replace foreign analogues with domestic, while without loss in price and quality. Camille of the Gazizov: Firstly, we analyze what is purchased, for what.
