A large number of software development and integrated IT system implementation projects for both public and corporate clients were successfully completed under his leadership.

His most successful long term project is the establishment of ICL Services. It has always been important for Sergey Soloviev that apart from performing their duties and responsibilities and following the established business processes, his team should always be proactive and ambitious. That is why each employee of ICL Services is challenged to constantly develop his or her expertise, boost productivity, put accrued knowledge to practical use, and share it with team members.

Consistent development of workforce capacity and improvement of business processes enabled Sergey Soloviev to achieve the critical goal and become one of the top suppliers of managed IT services in IT infrastructure management and software development.
