What Ametist does

Ametist (Аметист) is a Russian federal systems integrator founded in 1991 in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), headquartered in St. Petersburg with a regional office in Moscow opened in 2020. The company delivers end-to-end IT and engineering infrastructure projects across five competency centers: System Integration, Multimedia, Data Centers and Engineering Infrastructure, Information Security, and IT Equipment Supply with Innovation Solutions. Its offering spans design, implementation, and support of data centers, corporate networks, multimedia and audiovisual installations, secure data networks, and hardware/software supply — including a dedicated import substitution practice oriented toward Russian and Chinese vendors, formalized via a 2019 partnership with Huawei and crystallized in a 2023 first-of-kind fully domestic-stack integration project.

The company serves a concentrated set of large Russian enterprise and government clients, with named references including Gazprom Neft, Rosneft, Rostec, NorNickel, VK, Moscow State University, Pulkovo Airport, and defense industry enterprises. Its primary declared vertical is the TPK (Fuel and Energy Complex), where it ranks in the TOP-10 suppliers per the 2025 Tadviser independent rating. The company is recognized in the TOP-100 largest Russian IT companies in the 2025 Cnews 500 ranking and as a TOP-10 best IT employer in Russia (hh.ru, 2026) within the systems integration category.

Revenue is generated through project-based, individually priced contracts structured as multi-year engagements, with hardware resale as a secondary stream. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting federal and vertically integrated clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quoted per project scope. The company is privately held (OOO Ametist) with no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, or outside investors. Reported headcount is 19, which is anomalously low for the project's scale claimed and suggests a heavily subcontracted delivery model, though this is not explicitly stated in source data.
