What Digital design does

Digital Design (Диджитал Дизайн) is a privately held Russian enterprise software vendor and IT services provider, incorporated in 2000 as a closed joint-stock company (ЗАО) and headquartered in Moscow with a regional office in Saint Petersburg. The company develops and implements proprietary platforms for document and records management (СДУ «Приоритет», СЭД Docsvision, DV Box), internal audit, control and risk management (АВАКОР), board and meeting management (Ареопад), multi-factor authentication and identity (Цифровой КУПОЛ), and unified communications (Communigate Pro), complemented by a broad catalog of 40+ specialized modules covering electronic archives, information security, legal and HR workflow automation, and mobile applications for the Aurora OS platform. The company is included in the Russian Register of Domestic Software (Реестр отечественного ПО) and holds CMMI, EFQM, and ISO certifications.

The company operates a hybrid business model combining professional services (custom software development across roughly half of its 5,000 cumulative projects, mobile development, integration, and consulting) with subscription-style revenue from proprietary platform licensing and recurring technical support, plus managed IT infrastructure services. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales engaging C-level executives at government agencies and large B2B organizations — 300 B2B clients across more than 30 countries — through account managers and specialists handling the full lifecycle from business-process analysis through implementation and support. Marquee deployments include Russian Railways, Sberbank, Gazprom, Severstal, Rosatom, Rostelecom, RusHydro, Alrosa, Aeroflot, Rostec, and MIR, with the largest installation supporting more than 250,000 users in what the company characterizes as Eastern Europe's biggest software deployment.

Revenue, headcount growth, funding history, and ownership structure are not disclosed in available material; the company appears to be founder- or management-owned with no identified parent or institutional investor. The full technology stack is offered through the corporate website (digdes.ru), sales channels are exclusively direct, and marketing emphasizes thought-leadership webinars, industry conferences (e.g., Digital CorpDay 2026), and 2026-era product launches — including АВАКОР.Инсайт (AI for corporate control) and the Ареопад functional expansion at Rostelecom — together with a strategic partnership announced in May 2026 with Arenadata Group to co-develop import-substituting IT solutions.
