Next year, the government may require state-owned companies to spend at least 70% of their IT budgets on software and services from third-party developers. This follows from the methodological recommendations for their digital transformation, which are to be approved by the relevant government commission. Officials call this a measure to support the IT industry: thanks to it, it will receive hundreds of billions of rubles in addition. But companies do not agree with this - many of them have long been developing software on their own.

and state corporations on IT indonesia whatsapp number database products, solutions and services of Russian developers not affiliated with them should be at least 70% from next year. State enterprises will be able to allocate only 30% of their IT budgets to their own solutions. This follows from the methodological recommendations for state-owned companies and state corporations prepared by the Competence Center for Import Substitution in the Sphere of Information and Communication Technologies, which Izvestia has become familiar with.

The same applies to electronic products developed for the needs of structures, follows from the document. Exceptions may only affect state-owned enterprises whose tariffs for services are regulated by the state, as well as with a high level of their investment in digital infrastructure. For example, if in 2025-2027 such a transformation will account for at least 10% of the company's total investment.

The recommendations have already been agreed upon with the departments supervising the activities of large state-owned companies and submitted to the Ministry of Digital Development. The department, in turn, will send them for approval to the relevant government commission on digital development, Ilya Massukh, director of the competence center, told Izvestia.

Restrictions on spending on internal projects are intended to stimulate the development of the Russian IT industry and independent high-tech companies that create products for various sectors of the economy, he emphasized.

“We could be talking about hundreds of billions of rubles, which are currently being spent on in-house developments (projects for internal needs. — Izvestia),” added Ilya Massukh.

According to him, this measure will not create problems for internal IT departments of state-owned companies or IT structures affiliated with them, for example, it will not lead to staff reductions. As the conducted research has shown, currently only 32% of budgets are spent on internal IT products, so establishing a clear spending standard will have virtually no effect on the situation, Ilya Massukh believes.
