This panel discussion will focus on improving Russian system software and developing a mechanism for public rating of software products.
● How can the bug-fixing process in Russian software be accelerated?
● Which functional and security issues in Russian software require priority attention?
● What might a software rating system look like?
● What methodologies and metrics should form the basis of such a system?
● How to ensure objectivity, transparency, and public trust in the rating results?
● How to involve the professional IT community in regularly updating and verifying the data?
● What incentives are needed to encourage developers to participate and speed up improvements to their products?

As part of strategic partnerships with market leaders, 1C continues to evolve its ERP+ solutions, aimed at expanding capabilities and improving the operational efficiency of its clients.
Corporate feedback shapes platform development needs, while modern technologies drive innovation. Strategic collaboration with clients and tech players enables 1C to create ERP solutions that not only address current challenges but also shape the digital future of business.
During the session, developers, business customers, and IT specialists will discuss the evolution of 1C solutions based on corporate market needs and explore how a synthesis of technologies opens up new opportunities for digital transformation.
The discussion will follow three main vectors:
● Collaboration with large corporations: partnering with market leaders to adapt and expand ERP functionality for specific industries and market needs;
● Continuous platform improvement: regular updates, modernization of the tech base, integration of new tools for maximum flexibility and scalability;
● Application of advanced digital technologies: automation, analytics, and personalized user experiences.

This discussion will bring together representatives of major companies to explore the development of Russian ERP systems: architectural approaches, functionality, technology stacks, and cybersecurity requirements.

A review of analytical results compiled as part of a roadmap for the development of Russian software for designing composite material products across CAD, CAE, CAM, PDM, and CAPP classes.
Discussion of proposals for launching and implementing new software development and deployment projects in these areas.

In 2024, the Russian IT market showed significant growth. This growth phase has enabled the realization of engineering potential and helped shape the contours of a domestic software development ecosystem. Market leaders will share their insights into its current state.
Topics will include development tools and their evolution, platform approaches, development pipelines, and AI in coding.
● AI as part of the development ecosystem – opportunities for code generation;
● Partnership formats – cooperation among customers, vendors, and solution providers to enhance domestic software development;
● Security and development – how to secure software products under stringent industrial and continuous production requirements.

At the start of the year, the deadline passed for replacing foreign software in critical infrastructure. Yet many core systems remain non-substituted. Experts estimate the process will continue throughout the year, especially in niche industrial sectors.
Challenges include compatibility issues and an overabundance of solutions in the same space. Many companies are developing their own verticals to gradually reduce reliance on large integrated IT systems.
While regulators acknowledge the objective delays — such as lack of adequate Russian alternatives — they also consider measures to enforce the full replacement of foreign solutions.
● Which import substitution approaches have proven most effective?
● What does the industrial sector demand? Are there industry-specific features in the process?
● Which regulatory actions could optimize the domestic software and hardware market?
● Are Russian developers succeeding in releasing comprehensive software solutions?
● What’s the demand for integrated hardware-software systems?
● What are the prospects for high-quality domestic hardware? Can world-class solutions emerge in Russia?
● What is the export potential of Russian software and hardware-software systems?

Creating standards, platform solutions, and infrastructure for an open APCS (Automated Process Control Systems) ecosystem in support of industrial enterprises.
● Initial practical results from the Roadmap implementation on creating an open APCS ecosystem;
● Plans for 2025–2027 and through 2030;
● Sources and forms of funding for building APCS components;
● Changing roles in the APCS market due to open automation standards (customers, vendors, integrators); the role of regulators in ecosystem development;
● Prospects for international cooperation and global expansion of open APCS solutions.

In a highly competitive environment and amid shifting consumer preferences, traditional business models require transformation. Companies must continually seek new ways to improve products and services.
Recent years have brought new service types — food delivery, telemedicine, car sharing — made possible by digital technologies. Today, users expect personalized offerings, rapid service adaptation, and better user experiences. Digital technologies and neural networks play a vital role in this shift.
AI is rethinking product development and helping create new interaction models. Online platforms, mobile apps, and automation allow faster, more convenient, and more personalized services. AI not only enhances existing services but also enables entirely new business opportunities.
● How are emerging technologies like AI, machine learning, and big data transforming product development?
● What do today’s consumers expect, and what products/services will they want tomorrow?
● How are digital tools reshaping customer interactions and creating seamless user journeys?
● What personalization strategies and tools help companies offer unique value to each client?
● How can companies integrate technology while balancing personalization and data privacy?
