Demand for Russian office software in the cloud in the Sverdlovsk region has almost doubled over the year

The volume of orders in 2022 amounted to 230,000 virtual machines

The transition of business to domestic software is one of the key areas of work for the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation. In 2022, in the Sverdlovsk region, the demand for Russian office software in the cloud almost doubled compared to the previous year. This was reported in the press service of the regional Ministry of Digital Development and Communications.

What is the reason for the transition to domestic software?

The transition to domestic software is caused by several factors: import substitution, information security, and cost reduction (the cost of Russian software is several times lower than Western counterparts).

The trend towards the transition of Russian business to domestic software began long before the imposition of sanctions against the Russian Federation. In 2015, the import substitution program was launched in Russia, the purpose of which was to reduce dependence on foreign software and equipment.

After the start of the special operation in Ukraine and the imposition of sanctions against the Russian Federation, the transition to domestic software has become even more relevant. Many foreign software companies have left the Russian market, and their products have become unavailable to Russian users.

Against this background, the demand for domestic software has increased sharply. In 2022, the volume of orders for Russian office software in the Sverdlovsk region amounted to 230,000 virtual machines, which is almost twice as much as in 2021.

What are the benefits of using Russian office software?

Russian office software has a number of advantages over foreign counterparts:

In addition, Russian office software is constantly being improved and updated, taking into account the requirements of Russian users.

The transition to domestic software is a strategic task for the Russian Federation. The use of Russian software will help to ensure the information security of the country, reduce dependence on foreign suppliers and promote the development of the domestic IT industry.
