Gazprom Neft is building its own “IT-cluster” based around its Gazpromneft — Digital Solutions (previously its Information Technology Service Company (ITSC LLC)), and Gazpromneft Information-Technology Operator (previously Noyabrskneftegazsvyaz LLC) subsidiaries.

This IT-cluster will include three technology parks in St Petersburg, Omsk and Noyabrsk, four datacentres, and approximately 20 technology offices in more than 30 regions throughout the country. Its headcount will total almost 6,000 specialists, made up of teams at IT and digital-technology competency centres.

Developing its IT sector forms part of Gazprom Neft’s full-scale digital transformation. The company is implementing various strategic programmes in digital transformation across all areas of its business: the economic benefit of these, as they come to their their full capacity over the next few years, is expected to reach three to five percent of annual EBITDA.

Gazpromneft — Digital Solutions’ and Gazpromneft Information-Technology Operator’s activities will be focussed on implementing corporate strategy to develop IT infrastructure throughout the Gazprom Neft Group of Companies, implementing a product-oriented approach, and developing new services for clients and partners.

Modernising the IT-cluster will optimise efficiency in using the resources of the Gazprom Neft Group of Companies to consolidate the development and production of technological solutions, as well as support services for these. Changing operational processes will also improve speed and efficiency in Gazprom Neft’s joint projects with technology partners.
