What Polymedia does

Polymedia is a Moscow-headquartered IT systems integrator and AV/IT equipment distributor founded in 1998, operating across Russia and the CIS through 11 group companies and a network of more than 700 dealer partners. The company provides end-to-end audiovisual and IT integration for situation centers, dispatch and control rooms, conference halls, sports venues, educational institutions, museums, and corporate offices, with named deployments for clients including Sberbank, Gazprom, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the Presidential Reception Offices, the KHL, MegaFon, KAMAZ, and SOCAR.

The technical stack combines third-party AV hardware distribution with a proprietary software portfolio: Visiology, a Russian-developed in-memory BI and analytics platform with multidimensional data handling, Big Data and Data Science integration, and video wall support; Polywall and Polywall VR, visualization management software for situational and dispatch environments; Flipbox, a collaborative interactive touch display; and VIRD, a visualization management suite. AI capabilities are layered on top, including LLM-augmented BI querying, computer vision in PTZ cameras, and predictive analytics for decision support.

Revenue is generated through five distinct streams: project-based systems integration; equipment distribution to dealers and end customers; event rental and staging (more than 18,000 large projects delivered); subscription-based analytical systems built on Visiology; and managed service contracts with tiered SLAs covering Russia and CIS. The business model is predominantly enterprise and government field sales, supplemented by channel resale, with recurring BI subscriptions and maintenance contracts providing a partial annuity layer on top of a largely project-driven core.
