Igor Afonin, Head of the Multimedia and Unified Communications Competence Center at T1 Integration, notes that the transition to domestic videoconferencing solutions was primarily initiated by public sector customers. "The B2B sector switched to domestic videoconferencing solutions more actively than the B2C segment. There are quite a lot of free services on the market for individual videoconferencing users. The restrictions associated with the departure germany cell phone number list of foreign manufacturers did not affect them much; users could simply change the service," notes Igor Afonin. He believes that the transition to domestic videoconferencing systems will continue this year, especially given the legal requirements for the mandatory transition to Russian software by 2025. "Demand is expected to grow significantly in 2023, given that many companies have postponed project implementation in 2022 in anticipation of a change in the situation. In 2023-2024, deferred demand will be actively realized," he is confident.

assumes that the income of Russian VKS developers for 2022 as a whole has grown by more than 1.5 times. "The growth was uneven among the players due to the emergence of new services. For example, Kontur.Tolk entered the market in the spring of 2022, although we developed it ourselves in 2018 and have been using it within the company for four years. In B2B and B2C, many processes had already been automated by 2022. In online interaction, B2C has more choice: they can use both VKS services and messengers. B2C mainly use free applications, and they also do not require a strong integration of the service into the infrastructure. This facilitates the transition to new software - it is not so difficult for them to restructure their work. The transition issue turned out to be more problematic for B2B: they need to integrate the VKS service deep into the company. Over three years of the pandemic, the closure of foreign companies, business migration and the crisis in certain industries, the number of legal entities in Russia has decreased by almost a quarter. We cannot say or even guess what will happen next," notes Pavel Skripnichenko.
