The experts interviewed by the ComNews correspondent highlight several reasons for the popularity of foreign solutions. Thus, the deputy general director of Red Soft LLC, Rustam Rustamov, notes that each company has its own reasons for choosing a foreign product.

"The customer's employees work professionally with specific products, and there is no time to quickly reorganize. Or licenses for specific software have already been purchased," said Rustam Rustamov.

no reason to rush; unlike switzerland whatsapp resourcestate companies, they do not have a specific date by which they must switch to domestic software.

Finally, the banal force of habit can play a significant role. Irina Bogatyreva noted that companies that started using BI solutions a decade or more ago are still stuck with foreign products that are deeply integrated into their business processes. A different "appearance" can also play a significant role in the reluctance to change software.

Oleg Ivchenkov noted that the interfaces of domestic developments usually do not copy foreign analogues, and this can discourage any desire to understand how and what works in unmotivated companies and their employees.

A perceived need

It is difficult to imagine that a full-fledged domestic replacement for foreign software will emerge in two years. According to Oleg Ivchenkov, it is impossible to replace all foreign software that has been created over decades with domestic software that has been developed in two years.

“Vendors are focused on solutions that are needed by a larger number of users, narrow niches are left without attention,” adds Oleg Ivchenkov.

"The most difficult import substitution is in industry and mechanical engineering. But even here there are developments that are worth paying attention to. I believe that over time, even the most complex industries will accumulate the necessary stack of Russian IT solutions," says Rustam Rustamov.

"However, companies that implement a BI solution from scratch are faced with the question of which path to take: to use software from Microsoft, which limits access for Russian clients, or to choose an affordable domestic analogue. Therefore, it is strange that some companies take a more risky path and develop systems on foreign software. Technological sanctions over the past two years have become a driver for the transition to domestic solutions, so most large companies have launched the process of migration to Russian software," said Lyudmila Bogatyreva.

"The need to transfer critical infrastructure to Russian solutions has become urgent," concluded Valery Andreev.
