What IBIS does

IBIS (Integrated Building Solutions, Inc.) is a privately held Master Systems Integrator headquartered in San Ramon, California, founded in 1997 by Eugene Gutkin. The firm specializes in smart-building systems integration, delivering consulting, professional services, and managed services that bridge information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) environments for commercial building owners, operators, and enterprise portfolio managers. Its core offering, the IBIS Platform, is hardware-, software-, and system-agnostic software that supports both on-premise and cloud (AWS, Microsoft Azure) deployments and integrates disparate vendor systems — including HVAC, energy management, access control, video, and IoT devices — behind a unified interface. The platform was materially extended in May 2024 with five modules: Search Builder, Self-Serve UI Builder, Auto Tagging, Auto Graphic Linking, and IoT Asset Viewer.

The company's revenue is generated through quote-based, custom enterprise engagements sold via consultation-led direct enterprise sales, with multi-year contracts spanning professional services (Master Systems Integration, IT/OT Convergence, Smart Building IoT Consulting) and managed services covering the full system life. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and engagements range from single-building projects to enterprise global portfolio rollouts. The go-to-market is direct B2B enterprise field sales supported by top-of-funnel content marketing on LinkedIn, YouTube, and a company blog.

Leadership remains founder-led: Eugene Gutkin is President and CEO, with Sergey Gutkin as Executive Vice President (suggesting family involvement), and Tim Cramer as Director of Managed Services. The firm operates with a small team (reported 11-50 employees), claims 22+ years of pioneering IoT and integration experience, and reports global reach despite a single disclosed U.S. office. It has no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, or patent portfolio in the source material.
