Import substitution is currently a major growth driver for Russian IT companies. There are already market-leading domestic products capable of solving real business problems. The next challenge for the IT industry is to integrate strong solutions into a single ecosystem within complex industrial infrastructures.
Industrial enterprises are steadily migrating to Russian digital solutions, essentially undergoing a technological transformation and forming a new IT landscape.
The goals set can only be achieved through close cooperation between infrastructure software vendors, application developers, hardware manufacturers, and major consumers of digital products.
— Should we replicate foreign systems or build our own IT landscape?
— Will businesses welcome the return of foreign vendors? What’s missing in Russian solutions and worth borrowing?
— What is the actual level of import substitution in practice? What is holding the transition back?
— Is joint development between different vendors possible? What is the role of the consumer in such cooperation?
— How to seamlessly integrate strong market solutions into a unified IT infrastructure?

Digital platforms are becoming the foundation of modern IT infrastructure, simplifying management and scaling. Instead of upgrading hardware, companies can use platforms to efficiently allocate existing computing resources.
With the departure of Western vendors, Russian companies are increasingly switching to domestic platforms. This reduces hardware dependence but creates a new challenge — software lock-in. Changing platforms is costly and complex, making vendor choice a strategic decision.
This session will explore how companies manage this transition, the risks of vendor lock-in, and how software vendors can build long-term trust.
— What do customers expect: functionality, stability, ease of use?
— Off-the-shelf solutions vs. in-house development: complexity, costs, and decision criteria
— Case studies: T2, VTB, Aeroflot — migration to Russian platforms
— Collaboration between software developers and hardware manufacturers: what to expect?
— Promising areas: SDN, SDS, container virtualization

This session focuses on establishing standards, platforms, and infrastructure to develop an open industrial control system (ICS) ecosystem to serve Russian industrial enterprises.
— First practical results of the roadmap for developing an open ICS ecosystem in Russia
— Plans for 2025–2027 and long-term goals through 2030
— Funding sources and models for developing ICS components
— Changing roles of ICS market players due to open standards: industrial clients, vendors, integrators; regulatory role
— International cooperation and prospects for exporting Russian ICS solutions

Data is the new oil — its true value lies in how it’s collected, processed, and transformed into growth tools.
The Russian market is entering a phase where fragmented data lifecycle technologies hinder synergy. The challenge now is to create integrated ecosystem-level solutions that unite collection, processing, storage, and protection into a seamless digital loop.
These high-performance, secure systems require deep integration of software and hardware, delivering end-to-end domestic solutions that not only replace imports but enhance decision-making and business process security.
— Current state of data storage and management in the Russian IT industry
— Market demands vs. capabilities of Russian producers (now and in 1-3-5 years)
— Domestic potential for ecosystem solutions
— Migration challenges: customer needs and industry responses
— Vendor-customer collaboration: from planning to feedback and continuous improvement
— Government and regulatory roles in data infrastructure development
— The XData DBMS: can it rival Western counterparts in performance and relevance?
