Buran Digital

An IT integrator and a team of experienced consultants with international practice behind it: strategy, architecture, implementation and reliability for banks, fintech and growing companies.

Why “Buran”

A buran is a steppe blizzard — a force of nature that reshapes the landscape within hours. Technology is changing markets just as fast today. Our job is to make that force a tailwind for your business rather than a natural disaster.

What we do

We help banks, fintech, the public sector and growing companies make technology decisions and implement them: from IT strategy and target architecture to cloud migration, reliable operations and launching digital products.

How the company works

Buran Digital is an IT integrator and a team of experienced consultants: architects, business and IT consultants, DevOps and SRE engineers, developers. We work as a systems integrator — from assessment and strategy to implementation and support — and can take on any single phase as well.

The team includes an experienced CFO, so technical decisions come with a financial case from the start — budget, TCO and business case.

The founder is personally accountable for the architecture of every project, and you work directly with the team that designs and implements the solution — no account managers in between.

How we work
22+years in IT: banking, fintech, public sector, integration
50+B2B projects
30+banks through digital transformation
200+specialists in teams built
