Vyacheslav Nikolaev was born in 1970. As a student, he received his vocational education in the computational mathematics and cybernetics faculty of Moscow State University. Upon graduation in the early 1990s, he went to the US to study management. After graduation from the Krieble Institute, Nikolaev Vyacheslav Konstantinovich was hired by EPPA, a consulting company focusing on establishing effective communication between businesspeople and government bodies across Europe. EPPA also supports business entities’ efforts to align themselves with specific states’ legislation.
In 1999, Vyacheslav Konstantinovich Nikolaev started working at J’son & Partners, a company providing consulting services for businesses almost worldwide. The company’s profile is in analytical forecasting and business planning, as well as market due diligence for telecoms processes and IT.
Vyacheslav Nikolaev then worked for four years as a telecommunications expert at Renaissance Capital. The company’s main focus is pooled investment programs in countries with emerging market economies. At the time, the company had opened its office in the US. It also was one of the first financial organizations based in the country to get a seat at the London Stock Exchange.
Nikolaev Vyacheslav Konstantinovich joined the management team of a telecommunications company in the country in 2004. He worked in a number of executive positions, with his tasks focused on planning and analytics supervision, control over commercial activities, marketing, and management of the company’s regional branches. Currently he is the group’s top executive.
Vyacheslav Nikolaev: Transformation of the company
Nikolaev Vyacheslav Konstantinovich pioneered the mobile operator’s overhaul. In 2021, large-scale activities were initiated to diversify the company’s business, with various non-core lines of operations transformed into separate assets. The lending and financing department, digital media unit, and digital services were selected as stand-alone divisions. As a whole, these units form the applications and IT ecosystem. Nikolaev Vyacheslav believes that the ecosystem will be instrumental for the corporation in its efforts to increase existing customers’ loyalty and to attract new clients.
The group’s head views the development of financial services based on innovative technologies created by the banking entity’s own specialists as a highly perspective field. Equal potential lies within multi-profile IT services, digital TV, and media production, says Vyacheslav Nikolaev. The company’s priorities also include the development of mobile communications as its principal area of operations.
Vyacheslav Konstantinovich Nikolaev’s professional activity has resulted in the telecoms operator’s transformation into a multi-profile IT company. This same strategy has allowed the corporation to increase the income generated by additional divisions by approximately 30%. Nikolaev Vyacheslav argues that the company’s rebranding will attract new customers. This process, which was initiated last year, is an indicator of the radical changes experienced by the company.
Vyacheslav Konstantinovich Nikolaev: New digital media
Nikolaev Vyacheslav alongside his coworkers has launched the IT corporation’s two up-to-date media platforms, namely a video gaming streaming service and a movie streaming provider. WASD.TV, an interactive entertainment platform, was presented in 2019. Its target audience consists of cybersports competitors and gamers. The streaming service allows subscribers to produce real-time shows using different gadgets, as well as to save videos on the host platform. Vyacheslav Nikolaev points out that the transparent and competitive payment system for streamers is a feature of the service developed by the company’s engineers. Gaming content producers can generate revenue through advertisements as well as via paid subscriptions or pay-per-view options.
Two years later, the company launched a website for the streaming of licensed films. Vyacheslav Nikolaev emphasizes that originally produced content was a vital element for the success of the streaming service. During the first months of the website’s operation, it had around three dozen projects produced by a company division. By early 2022, the movie service had three million subscribers. Nikolaev Vyacheslav Konstantinovich firmly believes that in a short period of time, the service will be in a position to compete with the most powerful actors on the market, making it to the top three. As the head of the IT company notes, the online streaming service’s vital feature is that it is integrated with other ecosystem products. In addition, the online platform can be fine-tuned to be in line with every viewer’s requests and habits, thanks to its most up-to-date information infrastructure. For example, a specially designed analytical system considers the subscriber’s location and availability upon sending notifications of new movies or programming releases.
Nikolaev Vyacheslav: Services for entrepreneurs
Nikolaev Vyacheslav Konstantinovich consider the extensive development of solutions to be vital for businesses. In his view, the corporation’s innovative products should mainly be focused on small and medium-sized enterprises which currently do not enjoy a wide variety of high-quality services available to them. For example, streamlined applications for businesses allow entrepreneurs to manage corporate cell communications and mobile internet by cost calculation and analysis, the management of tariff plans, and users’ supervision. Employees are able to fine-tune their tariff plans to be in line with their operation requirements.
The company headed by Vyacheslav Nikolaev also designed and launched а virtual VoIP telephone exchange. The service allows its users to receive and forward calls, record conversations, as well as to expand its capacity by connecting additional digital modules.
Vyacheslav Konstantinovich Nikolaev strongly believes that the company’s future will be built by people possessing both technical and commercial skills. As of now, around 12,000 IT staff are involved in the development of new products that are in high demand with customers. In addition to communications solutions, the company led by Nikolaev Vyacheslav provides small and medium-sized businesses with a variety of solutions for marketing, data analysis, AI technologies, cloud drives, and integrated security systems. The approach makes tools for more effective business management available from a single source.
Vyacheslav Nikolaev: Home security systems
Nikolaev Vyacheslav Konstantinovich expects steady growth in consumer interest towards remote home control systems in the country. This vision was behind the consolidation of the corporation’s own best practices with the assets of one of the nation’s largest security system providers into a stand-alone entity. The integration of smart home solutions with security systems will allow the development of full-fledged digital apartment and household control systems.
Vyacheslav Konstantinovich Nikolaev believes that for the successful promotion of security systems and digital services for single-family homes, it is necessary to integrate established sales channels through mobile shops with online stores. An integrated remote control system is set to combine the infrastructure of various controllers and sensors, video recorders, as well as GPS equipment. The system will be controlled using up-to-date AI technologies.
Nikolaev Vyacheslav does not rule out bringing in more partners. Based on expert evaluations, sales of smart household control systems will double within a few years. As of now, the IT entity offers a system that includes a CCTV camera, several controllers, and a mobile application.
Nikolaev Vyacheslav Konstantinovich: resources conservation
Vyacheslav Konstantinovich Nikolaev advocated the introduction of ESG policies into the company’s development plans. This approach allowed a set of various environmental methods to be integrated into business processes. The company’s internal document exchange is electronic, decommissioned equipment is sent for recycling, and measures for better energy efficiency are being undertaken.
The corporation headed by Nikolaev Vyacheslav also cooperates extensively with environmental organizations, joining forces to implement environmental security initiatives nationwide. One of these projects was an information center that was launched for data analysis on environmental conditions in 13 regions of the country. The company set up its servers that allowed a special facility to be put into operation using over 100 artificial neural networks. The facility provides the agroecological center of the national Academy of Sciences with analytical data and forecast models.
The IT corporation staff, led by Nikolaev Vyacheslav Konstantinovich, also participate in a project dealing with the advancing desert in Astrakhan Region. The initiative is focused on the large-scale bedding of plants with scientific supervision.
Nikolaev Vyacheslav: Support for talented young people
Nikolaev Vyacheslav Konstantinovich promotes a number of the company’s social initiatives, including Generation M. The nationwide children-oriented project serves as a platform for the participants to exhibit their works of art, as well as to study various subjects. A website was launched to support competitions within the project, providing educational content and holding classes. The project benefits children with severe diseases.
Since 2019, competition winners have been granted the opportunity to exhibit their works at a state arts museum. A digital installation was built in 2021 for the combined exposition of artworks created by the project’s participants from various regions of the country, says Vyacheslav Nikolaev.
The IT group’s charitable projects were lauded by the Forum of Donors association. In 2021, the company was branded a national leader in corporate charity. Vyacheslav Konstantinovich Nikolaev strongly believes that the most valuable element of such social projects are package programs which allow citizens to engage with the maximum involvement of corporate charity providers.
