As it became known to Kommersant, the protection Mikhail Lyashch, president of Compulink, one of the largest IT companies in Russia, appealed against the decision of the Tverskoy District Court of Moscow to arrest him. Mr. Lyashch is suspected by the police of embezzling about 50 million rubles allocated by Russian Venture Company (RVC) for the EZTalk project, which makes it possible to seriously save on cellular services. The project was frozen back in 2011, and the funds invested in it disappeared. According to investigators, Mr. Lyashch could spend them on other projects.Mikhail Lyashch's lawyers, through the Tverskoy District Court, appealed to the Moscow City Court against the decision made last Friday on his arrest for the next two months. According to the defense, taking the well-known businessman into custody, the court was guided solely by the gravity of the crime, the commission of which he is charged with. However, Mr. Lyashch has not yet been charged with fraud on an especially large scale (part 4 of article 159 of the Criminal Code), under which the defendant faces up to ten years in prison. At the same time, representatives of the businessman's defense believe that even if the theft imputed to him is proven, the criminal case should be terminated, since the statute of limitations will expire this year.
Compulink told Kommersant that the interest of law enforcement agencies in the founder and president of the group of companies, Mikhail Lyashch, has nothing to do with their activities, but is connected with his personal project, CJSC Symbiotel. The company was founded in 2008 by a group of individuals and was the developer of the EZTalk product. EZTalk is a software and hardware system that allows you to connect Call Back, make conference calls, and send SMS without using the services of cellular operators. The service was supposed to be provided for a small fee to all persons who downloaded the corresponding program on a mobile phone. Investments in Symbiotel by VTB - Venture Fund and RVC amounted to about 100 million rubles. However, in 2010, due to the lack of its prospects, the project was declared unprofitable and frozen.
Sources of "Kommersant" claim that Mr. Lyashch returned about half of the invested funds to investors. They did not pursue the recovery of the entire debt through the courts. RVC told Kommersant that after the change of the company's management in 2016, "a full internal audit of the historical portfolio of funds with the participation of the company's capital" was carried out. At the beginning of 2017, the results of the audit were submitted to the prosecutor's office, which, after its audit, initiated an investigation. The initiation of a criminal case in the Main Investigative Directorate of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow, emphasized in the RVC, was the result of the qualification of the data of the "provided report" by the investigating authorities. “RVK is interested in establishing objective circumstances in the case,” its representative told Kommersant, noting that “the company adheres to the position of zero tolerance for manifestations of bad faith in doing business.”
Compulink also counts on the objectivity of the investigation, noting that the company is cooperating with law enforcement agencies.
At the same time, it should be noted that the Compulink group of companies is one of the largest IT companies in Russia. According to TAdviser, its turnover in the IT market in 2017 amounted to about 20.1 billion rubles. including VAT, which is 11% lower than in 2016. The group includes Compulink Integration, USP Compulink, Compulink and Quorum. In the SPARK-Interfax database, Mikhail Lyashch is listed as the beneficiary of the first three companies. In 2002-2007, Compulink's shareholders also included Delta Private Equity Partners, the management company of the American US-Russia fund, which was then managed by the CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), Kirill Dmitriev. In 2013, RDIF, together with the EBRD and the Capman Fund, announced a $100 million investment in the Maykor IT company, founded by Sergey Sulgin, former Compulink Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Sulgin refused to comment on the situation with Mikhail Lyashch.

MAYKOR revenue grew by 8% in 2017
MAYKOR sums up the results of 2017. At the end of the year, the company showed revenue of 11 billion rubles, which is 8% higher than in 2016. Particular attention in the past year was focused on the development of innovative outsourcing services for key clients, as well as on the optimization of internal processes and the development of the company's IT systems.
Traditionally high rates were maintained in MAYKOR's key industry line of business - retail services. This segment accounts for 53% of revenue, which is 5.8 billion rubles. MAYKOR's key retail customers include Svyaznoy, X5 Retail Group, Hoff, Sportmaster, Auchan, Dixy, and others. Companies still prefer comprehensive infrastructure support services for both IT and industry. In 2016, retailers also faced a large-scale task of transferring their own fleets of cash registers to online mode in accordance with the requirements of 54-FZ. Not only customers from federal chains, but also regional retailers were actively involved in projects to transfer retail outlets to MAYKOR online checkouts.
Mass media
The lion's share of the ranking participants' revenue received in 2016 from IT services falls on the support, service and outsourcing segment (83.8 billion rubles) - an increase of 18% over the year. “Over the past three years, cloud services, service services and IT outsourcing have retained their positions in the top. The demand for the latter is explained by the constant growth of the IT infrastructure and the increase in the amount of equipment that needs to be serviced. Two factors are relevant here - the use of the latest technologies, for which the customer's IT service does not always have the proper qualifications (and it is not needed as a non-core one), and the lack of sufficient IT staff in the regions, ”explains Sergey Sulgin, President of Maykor Group .
Factors traditional for outsourcing also work - the removal of secondary processes and cost savings to increase efficiency and competitiveness. “Clients' strategies are aimed at optimizing subsidized activities and reducing operating costs. Therefore, complex support services for industry equipment and IT infrastructure are in demand, because due to the scale it is possible to significantly (up to 15%) reduce the cost of the service. Clients with a wide geography of presence were looking for ways to increase the efficiency of work in the regions through the introduction of new technologies, such as a non-cloud system for secure remote user support outside the corporate network. It is possible to single out new formats for the provision of services, such as gainsharing, when the income of the service provider directly depends on the income of the client. In addition, customers began to give their own staff under the control of an outsourcing provider,” says Sergey Sulgin.
Rostelecom is ready to spend 1.55 billion rubles on printers and consumables until 2019
Maykor holding president Sergey Sulgin believes that it is more economical not to purchase equipment, but to outsource printing services. We are talking about Managed Printing Services (print service, MPS), when the service provider provides the customer with the entire printing infrastructure and takes care of all the hassle of its maintenance, except for the purchase of paper. According to Sulgin, such a service allows to reduce printing costs and reduce the number of printed pages, improve infrastructure reliability and cost transparency. MPS makes it possible to avoid large investment costs and pay only for services actually rendered, he adds. At the same time, the conclusion of an MPS contract is accompanied by strict requirements for the service provider in terms of the level of service, for the fulfillment of which the provider bears full, including financial, responsibility, notes Sulgin.
Maykor's revenue has not changed
According to the press service of Maykor, in 2016 the company reoriented the portfolio of contracts in favor of large projects, expanded existing contracts with key clients, reducing the number of small regional projects. In general, the number of Maykor customers for the reporting period exceeded 1.2 thousand customers. According to Maykor President Sergey Sulgin, over the past three years the company has been actively expanding its base of contracts for a wide range of services. “Today's realities of the IT market — the increased activity of competitors in IT outsourcing, the dumping of regional players, the optimization of IT budgets — made us critically evaluate our contracts. We have focused resources on key large-scale projects that generate maximum value for the client, and with optimal costs for us as a service provider,” Sergey Sulgin commented.
