Aim Systems

What Aim Systems does

Aim Systems (ООО ЭЙМ СИСТЕМС) is a Saint Petersburg-based Russian system integrator founded in 2008, operating across four practice areas: information technology (virtualization, storage, networking, data center construction), information security (audit, DLP, firewall, SCADA/ICS, penetration testing, compliance consulting), engineering systems (structured cabling, fire safety, video surveillance, access control, building automation), and maintenance services (outsourcing, SLA, HelpDesk, 24-hour support). The company serves Russian government ministries, federal security services, state-owned enterprises, banks, and large industrial corporations across metallurgy, oil and gas, telecommunications, defense, and healthcare. Named clients include the Government of Saint Petersburg, Ministry of Defense, FSB unitary enterprises, Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, Rosatom, PAO Rostelecom, PAO VSMPO-AVISMA, Novolipetsk Metallurgical Combine, and St. Petersburg Vodokanal.

The company's technology stack is predominantly a curated multi-vendor portfolio: VMware (Horizon, vRealize), IBM (servers and storage), Check Point (appliances), Huawei (OceanStor, RH series), Lenovo (System x, Storwize), Cisco (Catalyst, ASA), Ceph (software-defined storage), InfoWatch (Endpoint Security, TrafficMonitor, ASAP for SCADA), Crypto-PRO, and Diamond VPN/FW, complemented by two proprietary products: the SSPT-2 next-generation firewall (with Russian Patent RF 2214623 and US Patent 7281129) featuring stealth-mode filtering that makes the device invisible to network probes, and Diamond VPN/FW UTM with GOST cryptographic algorithm support. The firm holds FSB cryptographic and state-secrets licenses, FSTEC technical-protection license, Roskomnadzor telecom licenses, and ГОСТ ISO 9001-2011 certification, and runs a dedicated information-security sub-brand called BSB 98 (Бюро Систем Безопасности).

Revenue is generated through four streams: enterprise system-integration professional services, hardware and software supply (including direct online license sales via soft.aimsys.ru), ongoing IT outsourcing and managed maintenance under multi-year SLAs, and information-security consulting and auditing. Pricing is project-based with custom scoping for enterprise engagements and a free-pilot model for selected security solutions (e.g., Check Point, Arcserve UDP). Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, the 100+ vendor partnership ecosystem (anchored by IBM Premier / TOP 100 status), and a regional service-partner network across major Russian cities, with two physical offices in Saint Petersburg and Sevastopol.
