Digitalization projects implemented by AZEL Systems for Azerbaijan's industrial and educational institutions are already being executed in line with leading global technological standards and are gaining international recognition in the field of industrial IT.
This was stated to Trend by Igor Yakovenko, Chief Executive Officer of AZEL Systems, on the sidelines of the 31st International Caspian Oil & Gas Exhibition currently underway in Baku.
He noted that the company is currently unable to disclose its near-term plans due to signed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs); however, he provided an overview of completed projects and key areas of activity.
"AZEL Systems is one of the leading systems integrators. The company has been operating since 2013. Our core business is systems integration and the supply of high-end software from global industry leaders, such as Ansys, part of Synopsys," he said.
According to Yakovenko, the company actively collaborates with Ansys, part of Synopsys, and participates in major industry events, including Baku Energy Week. Within the framework of this partnership, a project has already been completed for the Azerbaijan Aviation Academy (AZAL), in which the Ansys Academic Multiphysics Campus Solution was deployed for scientific, technical, and educational purposes. The project was finalized in November 2025 and is currently being utilized by students and faculty for aerodynamics and physical simulation calculations.
"We delivered the Ansys solution to the Azerbaijan Aviation Academy for use in scientific, technical, and educational applications. Today, students and faculty have access to the most advanced technologies available for engineering and aerodynamic computations," he noted.
A separate area of the company's activity relates to projects in the oil and gas sector. Yakovenko emphasized that AZEL Systems has been partnering with SOCAR since its founding, implementing projects in the areas of regulatory reference systems, engineering document management, and digital data models (digital twins).
In particular, he spoke about the implementation of Hexagon SDx software at SOCAR Downstream, which involved the digitalization of documentation as part of the reconstruction of the Heydar Aliyev Oil Refinery. "A specialized model was developed, and in collaboration with world-class engineers from Hexagon — now known as Octave — the project was successfully completed in 2023–2024. The SDx system is now fully operational," Yakovenko stated.
He also highlighted the development of a similar SDx project at SOCAR Carbamide, which received high international recognition. According to him, this project was among the five key initiatives for which SOCAR Carbamide was honored at the World Economic Forum in Davos with the Digital Lighthouse Award, recognized as one of the best examples of digitalization and adoption of advanced technologies within the framework of the green transition. In addition, SOCAR Downstream was awarded a Certificate of Merit from the World Refining Association for the SDx implementation project at the Heydar Aliyev Oil Refinery.
"These awards are granted by an independent jury that selects the best projects globally. It is important to us that solutions implemented in Azerbaijan receive international recognition," he underscored.
Yakovenko added that the company views its work not only as technological implementation, but also as a contribution to the country's international standing. "We take great pride in the fact that our projects bring recognition to Azerbaijan and are highly regarded on the world stage," he concluded.
