DVL Group, which last year acquired telecom operators «Datagroup-Vola» and lifecell, will conduct a massive reduction of IT specialists in the merged company. About 15% of the IT staff will be laid off.
The company explains this decision by its intention to combine the operators’ IT systems. Currently, DVL Group is working on an effective business model that will take into account the joint work of all three companies – «Datagroup», Volia, and lifecell.
«In some departments, the overall workload is being reviewed during this period, with some duplication of functions»,” the DVL press service reports.
Therefore, given the merger of the IT systems of «Datagroup», Volia and lifecell, there was a need to optimize and partially revise the number of IT staff. This «optimization» is expected to affect no more than 15% of IT specialists across the group.
«In such processes, the company complies with the requirements of the current legislation», DVL said.
At the same time, it is noted that the Technical Directorate is significantly increasing and recruiting more than 300 new employees. This is due to the scaling up of energy resilience projects, construction and modernization of the grid.
It is worth noting that the day before, the Telegram channel «Overheard in IT» wrote about the reduction of 70% of the IT department of lifecell.
As a reminder, in March last year The AMCU authorized the sale of «Datagroup-Volya» to DVL Telecom French billionaire Xavier Niel. Later The AMCU also approved the sale of mobile operator lifecell of this company.
