Only 5 companies with state participation out of 25 that attended the meeting of the Ministry of Digital Development reported a complete transition to domestic software in critical information infrastructure facilities. Kirill Alifanov, Deputy General Director for IT at Sheremetyevo Airport, spoke about this at the recent Pulse of Digitalization forum.

“Out of 25 companies, 5 reported that they fully complied with the presidential decree and substituted imports. It was not said how many hundreds of billions were spent on this, but the main thing was that the decree was carried out.”– the source quotes Mr. Alifanov as saying.
Let us remind you that according to the presidential decree, government agencies and state-owned companies are prohibited from using foreign operating systems and other software at critical information infrastructure facilities from January 1, 2025. For database management systems, the transition period to domestic solutions is set until January 1, 2026.
A representative of the Ministry of Digital Development said that all company departments participating in the meeting “successfully switching to domestic software at KII facilities”. Some companies have already completed the import substitution process, while others are actively working to complete the transition within the established time frame. “They will report on import substitution at KII facilities at a separate meeting”,” added the representative of the Ministry of Digital Development. If some companies, for one reason or another, do not have time to switch to domestic software before January 1, then a strict analysis of the reasons will be carried out. The Ministry of Digital Development does not exclude the possibility that such companies may be required to enter into forward contracts.
Last month, the head of the Ministry of Digital Development, Maksut Shadayev, said that not all companies and government agencies will have time to transfer their systems to Russian solutions in full and on time. “For each such case, a certain analysis of the reasons will be carried out. In most cases, they are trivial and associated with a lack of funding. Starting in 2022, these tasks were set, but expenses for federal departments and “digital” expenses were not increased.”– Mr. Shadayev said then.
