What Obit does

OBIT (legal entity ООО «ОБИТ») is a privately held Russian operator-integrator of IT and telecommunications services, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Saint Petersburg with regional offices in Moscow and Kazan. The company serves more than 12,000 business clients across 90 cities in Russia and neighboring countries, spanning verticals including banking, construction, retail, HoReCa, pharma, manufacturing, transport and logistics, and call-center operations. Its portfolio of 50+ services covers five pillars: IT solutions (system integration, IT infrastructure maintenance, automation, equipment supply), telecom services (corporate networks, internet, Wi-Fi, telephony, digital TV), data center services (own and partner colocation), information security (DLP, IDM/PAM, SIEM/SOAR, NGFW, DDoS protection), and engineering services.

The underlying technology stack combines OBIT's own cloud infrastructure (cloud.obit.ru — VPS, VDI, PaaS/SaaS, Kubernetes) with the vStack hyperconverged platform (a Russian-software-registry-listed VMware analog claimed at 2–5% CPU overhead versus standard 10–15%), Arbor-based DDoS protection at up to 1 Tbit/s throughput, and applied AI in the form of computer vision, video analytics, speech analytics, and AI assistants delivered as implementations rather than proprietary models. Notable enterprise deployments include a 1,000 m² processing-center platform for Bank Saint Petersburg, a 100-operator Naumen contact center for Santeknika-online, and an isolated pharmaceutical digital ecosystem on SberCloud Advanced.

Revenue is generated across a mix of recurring services (telecom subscriptions, cloud usage-based billing at 10-minute increments, video surveillance at 700–1,500 RUB/month per camera), managed services (data center colocation, IT outsourcing — the latter growing 43% in 2023 per source), and project-based professional services (system integration, security audits, import-substitution engagements). The go-to-market is sales-led, executed through direct enterprise field sales in the three regional offices, inside sales for mid-market and remote clients across 90 cities, and a content-led funnel via the corporate website, VC.ru, YouTube, Telegram, and industry-conference presence. Import substitution — replacing foreign IT infrastructure with Russian-registered software and hardware — is a dedicated service line and a regulatory-tailwind-driven growth lever.
