Industrial IT integrator UltimaTek has acquired a 50% stake in the St. Petersburg-based 1C integrator ArtIT. The transaction is valued at 300 ₽ million.
The partnership aims to accelerate the migration of industrial companies from SAP to 1C. The companies plan to use AI agents to automate the analysis of existing systems and the design of new solutions, which is expected to reduce labor costs by 30–50%.
According to the companies, the integration of AI tools addresses the technical incompatibility between SAP and 1C. These agents extract business rules, map data, and generate draft code, while human engineers handle final validation.
The deal completes the ERP practice portfolio of UltimaTek, which already includes Global, Galaktika, and the consulting division Aktivo. The group focuses on industrial automation, including maintenance and repair management systems.
