The founder of MyOffice Dmitry Komissarov named the timing of import substitution in the IT sector

Complete import substitution of software in Russia may take another 5–7 years. In this case, the most problematic will be the replacement of PLM systems (product life cycle management system) and automated process control systems (automated process control system). This forecast was given by Dmitry Komissarov, co-founder of the MyOffice office software developer. in an interview with Vedomosti.

“If we consider key systems, for example ERP (enterprise resource planning system – Vedomosti) and finance, they are a stuffed animal or a carcass, but we will replace everything foreign over time,” the entrepreneur estimates. – I think that the most difficult thing for import substitution is PLM and automated process control systems, where we lag far behind foreign players. On the other hand, Russia has a good engineering school. I don’t see any big soap bubbles in IT now; they can most likely be expected in the field of microelectronics, because there is a gap between domestic and foreign developments.”
