⇡ As a conclusion

There are two approaches to creating Russian software. The first is to write the source code of products from scratch, entirely by domestic specialists. The second option involves the creation of national software based on the revision of the borrowed source codes. This is what the Russian software companies working in the field of import substitution of software adhere to. Our top 20 operating systems labeled "Made in Russia" are a clear confirmation of this. Good or bad is a big question, a subject for a separate discussion.

Dmitry Medvedev recently signed a decree that from January 1, 2016, state and municipal authorities will be obliged to purchase only Russian software (software) from a special register. An exception can be made if there is no software with the required characteristics in Russia. The head of the Competence Center for the domestic operating system "Astra Linux" Roman Mylitsyn.

- What software is being developed in Russia and how competitive is it?

Most of the software required for government needs is produced in our country. We have confident positions in many areas, and our programs meet international requirements. These are Kaspersky antivirus, the Linter database management system, the Astra Linux operating system, the Consultant Plus legal and reference system, 1C business and educational programs, GIS Panorama electronic maps ... There is our analogue of Skype - a video conferencing system Mind is the world record-breaking for the number of simultaneous user connections via video communication - several tens of thousands. In the field of applied software (office, graphics and 3D editors, design and modeling systems), the situation is a little worse, but also not hopeless. For example, we have the Compass 3D modeling system, which is used by many Russian designers in the field of mechanical engineering. This software is fully compatible with all GOSTs of the Russian Federation, which is very important - there is no need to further configure and redo anything. There are many Russian developments, they are just less popular than Western ones. Their quality is not worse, but they are losing in marketing, the market has already been conquered by Western manufacturers who consider our large enterprises as their main customers and work specifically for them. Although, of course, there are gaps in Russian software. For example, we have absolutely no competitive analogs to foreign programs for processing graphic data - Photoshop, Corel Draw and Adobe Illustrator.

The Linux system was developed by programmers from different countries. Its source code is in the public domain, anyone can take it as a basis and modify it to suit their requirements. The question is how responsibly companies are approaching this. There are those who are engaged in pasting stickers - they take someone else's product, change the cover, name and put it up for theirs. Only representatives of the professional community can check how deeply a solution has been revised. But there are those who modify almost every component that is included in the system. For example, the Astra Linux system contains dozens of programs and key components written from scratch by Russian specialists.

Opinions

Vladimir Letun, senior researcher at the Institute of Mathematics and Mechanics of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, developer of the software and hardware complex "Multifunctional mathematical model of a thermal power plant":

During the Chubais era, software for the Russian energy system was purchased from the United States. Over time, it became clear that this is a completely ineffective system, it does not reduce, but on the contrary, increases the cost of generating electricity and fuel costs. In addition, such a large amount of fuel burned is harmful to the environment. Russia has its own programs that are not inferior to foreign ones and even surpass them. They allow you to distribute the load efficiently and save about 10-12 million conventional tons of fuel per year. The biggest problem is that power engineers are still using unprofitable American developments, and for six years now we have not been able to reach those who make decisions. The idea of compulsory use of domestic software is good, but how it will be implemented is unknown. The Russian bureaucracy makes the transition to new programs much more difficult.

Ilya Krupin, Deputy General Director of NPO Sapphire, author of the work "Creation of an integrated information and analytical system for managing state and municipal programs in the Sverdlovsk region":

Russian software is very competitive, which is evidenced by the fact that we sell a large number of programs on the world market: in 2013, the amount of exports amounted to 5.2 billion dollars. In Germany, for example, they actively use the 1C: Enterprise system, all over the world they use our antivirus software. There are other, not so popular, but promising developments. However, 95-97 percent of our businesses run foreign operating systems and office applications. Many people use foreign programs, simply because it is fashionable, although there are cheaper and no less high-quality Russian developments. It will take time and money to transfer users to domestic software. To implement the program, first of all, it is necessary to clearly describe the rules for entering Russian software into the national register, build understandable verification schemes and register opportunities for participation in tenders and competitions.

- What threats does foreign software carry?

First, there is information leakage. Microsoft collects a large array of personal data of Russians in the process of using the Windows operating system. And she does it absolutely legally - this point is spelled out in the user agreement. Secondly, there are always risks of refusal from technical support and delivery of products, as happened in Crimea. In a difficult political situation, it is frivolous and sometimes even dangerous to become attached to the technologies of a foreign developer. There is also the likelihood of sabotage. We can never be sure of the purity of the intentions of foreign programmers. For example, we still have not seen the source code for Windows, this system has not passed the certification procedure for undeclared features. For us, this is a black box with unknown contents. And when using foreign software at enterprises, no one can be insured against the fact that any machine suddenly fails. And besides, the prices for foreign programs are usually higher than for ours.

- Will it be difficult to work within the framework of the new resolution?

It's pretty loyal. There is a clause in the text of the resolution that if the domestic software does not fit the customer's requirements, then you can buy foreign one. A strict framework for these requirements has not yet been established, so it is possible to justify the need for foreign software. In addition, the software can be considered Russian, if no more than 30 percent of the proceeds will go to deductions to foreign companies. Companies can try to circumvent this regulation by making installments and paying the amount in installments. In order to suppress such machinations, an expert council will be created, which will include developers and specialists from government agencies. Those structures that have taken care of the possibility of migration to domestic resources in advance will be able to do this without problems. For example, the corporation "Rosatom" a few years ago began the transition to Russian software and uses it at most nuclear power plants. The rest will have to spend money on retraining personnel and reconfiguring the entire work system. In general, enterprises that want to protect themselves should perceive this decree not as an additional requirement or punishment, but as assistance.

The export deliveries of Russian companies in the field of information technology, not surprisingly, occupy an honorable third place in the total volume of Russia's foreign trade. This applies, first of all, to comprehensive services for the prevention and prevention of cybercrimes, information security and the development of mobile applications, as well as navigation, geographic information systems and document management systems, which are currently in great demand and competitive in the Western market.

Russian software

Software (SW) takes the third place in the Russian export. Only oil and weapons are ahead. Moreover, the growth in the volume of this sphere of the domestic economy is stable and dynamic. So, for example, in 2014 this indicator in relation to the previous year was 11%. The volume of services, respectively, was in the range of $ 6.0 billion. In 2015, growth continued - by 16% from 2014 - and the market was already fixed at $ 7 billion.

This positive trend, regardless of the problems in the Russian economy, has been going on for several years. Western corporate and private consumers are happy to purchase Russian software and sanctions are not a hindrance to them. Experts do not exclude that Russia, like China, can make an active leap forward in promoting IT technologies to the world market.

Currently, software exports are in second place in Russia. In numbers, this is 1.5% of the total share of Russian foreign trade. According to experts, software development services make up 50%, licensed software - 40% and orders from foreign structures - 10%.

The IT industry in Russia employs approximately 140,000 people. More than 2,000 specialized companies operate on the information technology market. According to information from Cognitive Technologies, 2.5% of the world software market is accounted for by Russian software structures. So, in the field of offshore programming, the leaders are companies such as MERA, Luxoft and EPAM.

Export activity of Russian companies

In the area of software export, the following are actively involved: Transas Technologies, which specializes in navigation and control systems for the movement of ships, as well as software for the synthesis of three-dimensional images, Paragon - utilities related to data on hard drives, Abbyy - a recognition system and electronic dictionaries, CBOSS - billing automation, Spirit - software (embedded) for video, voice and data transmission, Promt - automatic translation software, Parallels Acronics - security data recovery, backup and others.

As a rule, all these structures were born in the 90s. At their origins are competent and persistent software engineers who created their own unique product and were able to promote it to foreign markets.

The export activity of Russian companies in the field of information technology stimulated investments, respectively. Venture funds began to willingly finance such projects. These include Insight Venture Partners Intel Capital and Bessemer Venture Partners.

As strange as it may seem, big problems in the country's economy became the impetus for the development of the domestic IT industry. They led to a sharp decline in demand for software development, and the weak ruble pushed Russian IT specialists even more actively to develop the Western market.

But all these "export" successes do not mean that Russia is the leading country in the world in the field of information technology. This market is highly competitive, especially from offshore programming centers located in Southeast Asia, China, India and Latin America. The number of Russian IT companies operating, for example, in the North American market is 2 orders of magnitude less than in India, for example. But, on the other hand, when you need the quality of services in the field of information technology, Western partners are happy to turn to Russian programmers.

Main Markets

The specifics of the public procurement system in Russia and the number of electronic tenders unwittingly raised the procurement automation system to an unprecedentedly high technological level. And this is not surprising, since 5 million such auctions are held annually on the territory of the Russian Federation. For example, in the UK only a few thousand procurement procedures go through a year. The level of development of online trading in Russia is really high, and all this is due to the highest pressure from the state on domestic IT companies. We are the first to electronize public procurement. So countries that need to hold government tenders at home know that the best software in this area can only be found in Russia.

The main market for Russian software developers is the United States. Unlike main competitors, for example, India, companies from Russia show very high growth rates of entry into the North American market. Moreover, according to experts, software products created in Russia are deeper and more effective from a perspective point of view. They are focused on the completeness of high-tech solutions, and not on simple types of work with cheap labor. The first approach, which is more fundamental and, ultimately, with the correct political and economic policy, is much more effective in terms of numbers, that is, in terms of money.

Recently, in the highest circles of power, there have been frequent calls for the transition to Russian software. So I decided to ask the question, what can we switch to. Operating systems based on Linux, I immediately threw away, because there is Russian, as in the INTEL processor. No matter how hard they try to promote something, it's still the same Linux with a different shell and it doesn't matter Rose or whatever.

Well, let's see what I was able to find on the net from Russian software.

Doctor Web

Developer: DialogueScience

According to the results of our survey, Doctor Web was in second place, behind Kaspersky Anti-Virus in popularity. However, DialogueNauka, as is evident from the press releases distributed by the company, is not at all inclined to dramatize the situation. On the contrary (and this is an indisputable fact), 2001 was the most successful year in Doctor Web's career - in November, the program received its seventh VB100% award, awarded according to the results of the most authoritative comparative antivirus testing conducted by the independent international magazine Virus Bulletin. Considering that four out of seven awards have been received since September 2001, it must be admitted that the optimism of DialogueNauka employees is not without foundation.

But the matter, of course, is not only about the awards. Over the past year, the program has been continuously improved, and the product has been developed both “in depth” (technologically) and “in breadth” (versions for various operating systems were released). The latter, by the way, did not go unnoticed by colleagues in the shop - it was Doctor Web for Linux that was chosen by ASPLinux manufacturers to be included in the delivery of the corresponding operating system. A complete listing of all the technological know-how implemented in the program would take too much space. Let's note only a few, the most striking:

a powerful heuristic for detecting viruses that are not included in the virus database (however, the database is sometimes updated several times a day - by releasing so-called hot add-ons);
unique technology for controlling virus activity, implemented in the resident watchdog SpIDer Guard;
full Windows memory check.

It should also be noted that Doctor Web, stuffed with many "high technologies", has not turned into an antivirus "monster" that scares viruses by its volume alone. The developers manage to save the face of the program, so beloved by many users: compactness, reliability, performance and external simplicity.

Annual subscription price $ 51

The full pricing table can be found on the developer's website.

T-FLEX CAD

Developer: "Top Systems"

T-FLEX CAD is one of the best Russian computer-aided design systems for the preparation of design and technological documentation. To create design products (drawings, models, documentation, etc.), Top Systems offers five systems that allow you to cover all levels of design automation: T-FLEX CAD LT (drawing automation), T-FLEX CAD 2D (design automation), T-FLEX CAD 3D SE (preparation of drawings for 3D models), T-FLEX CAD 3D (three-dimensional modeling), T-FLEX CAD Viewer (free software for viewing and printing 2D drawings T-FLEX CAD) ...

The proposed systems allow a flexible approach to equipping workplaces for solving production problems, taking into account the specifics of work at each workplace and the financial capabilities of the enterprise. The possibility of phased software and hardware equipment while maintaining the efficiency of already running programs makes the choice of T-FLEX very attractive. The complex equipment with the proposed systems has the best functionality / price ratio.

Powerful parametric tools of the T-FLEX CAD 2D system, used for design automation, significantly increase the productivity of the designer.

The economical T-FLEX CAD LT system differs from T-FLEX 2D only in the absence of parameterization tools. The system contains a set of functions sufficient to generate drawings of any complexity. Designed with the latest advances in CAD, sketching functions allow you to quickly, conveniently and accurately create non-parametric drawings. All functions of drawing design, copying, import-export, working with texts, tables, libraries of texts and 2D elements are supported.

T-FLEX CAD 3D is the first and so far the only Russian system using the Parasolid geometric kernel from Unigraphics Solutions, which allows T-FLEX CAD 3D users to model three-dimensional parts and assembly structures of any complexity.

The T-FLEX CAD 3D SE system makes it possible to minimize the cost of preparing drawing documentation for 3D models created in T-FLEX CAD 3D or imported from other systems.

The free T-FLEX CAD Viewer program is designed for viewing and printing two-dimensional drawings made in the T-FLEX CAD system. Users of the T-FLEX CAD system can transfer their design and technological documentation in electronic form to partners working with other programs. T-FLEX CAD Viewer can also be used in technical document management systems to view T-FLEX CAD drawings.

Main features of T-FLEX CAD systems:

User-friendly parameterization tools are the basis of advanced T-FLEX CAD technologies. Unlike similar CAD systems, programming skills are not required to create parametric models in T-FLEX CAD, since the designer deals with ordinary variables and functions. T-FLEX CAD's parametric relationships make project animations easy and natural, providing the ability to view the motion of the structure created by the designer and kinematic analysis;
optimization is one of the most powerful design tools that allows you to select the best product parameters without manually adjusting the geometry. Thanks to the model optimization module, in T-FLEX CAD it is much easier to determine the parameters of bodies of a given volume, mass-inertial characteristics, balance, balancing, etc .;
user dialogue is a new functionality offered today only by T-FLEX. The dialog organizes a visual presentation of the changeable parameters of the unified part of the enterprise. This facilitates the use of a parametric project by any designer, makes it possible to display the parameters used in a compact manner. Dialogues are convenient for offering products on the Internet, since it is possible to display not only mutable variables that a potential customer can play with, but also information from the developer;
Assembly models are the key to global design automation. A distinctive feature of T-FLEX CAD is the creation of parametric assembly drawings, which can be created both from a separate part to an assembly, and from an assembly to each part or in a complex manner. Using the parametric drawings of individual parts created in T-FLEX CAD 2D, you can connect them into assembly drawings. Changing the parameters of the assembly drawing leads to a change in all of its components.
Prices: T-FLEX CAD LT - $ 499, T-FLEX CAD 2D - $ 949, T-FLEX CAD 3D SE - $ 1495, T-FLEX CAD 3D - $ 2895.

Compass 3D

Developer: ASKON
Developer site: http://kompas.ru

The KOMPAS-3D system allows you to implement the classic process of three-dimensional parametric design - from an idea to an associative volumetric model, from a model to design documentation.

The key feature of KOMPAS-3D is the use of its own mathematical kernel and parametric technologies developed by ASCON specialists.

The main components of KOMPAS-3D are a three-dimensional solid modeling system, a universal computer-aided design system KOMPAS-Graphic and a specification design module. All of them are easy to learn, have a Russian-language interface and help system.

The basic capabilities of the system include functionality that allows you to design a product of any degree of complexity in 3D, and then issue a set of documentation for this product required for its manufacture in accordance with the current standards (GOST, STP, etc.).

The basic functionality of the product can be easily expanded through various applications that complement the KOMPAS-3D functionality with effective tools for solving specialized engineering problems. The modularity of the system allows the user to define himself the set of applications he needs, which provide only the required functionality.

Main features of KOMPAS-3D

Creation of three-dimensional associative models of individual parts (including parts formed from sheet material by bending it) and assembly units containing both original and standardized structural elements.
Associative views of 3D models are automatically generated: cuts, sections, local cuts, local views, arrow views, break views. Changes to the model result in a change in the image in the drawing.
Standard views are automatically built in a projection link. The data in the title block of the drawing (designation, name, weight) is synchronized with the data from the three-dimensional model.
Connection of three-dimensional models and drawings with specifications; during design, the specification can be obtained automatically. Changes to the drawing or model will be transferred to the BOM and vice versa.
Parametric technology for obtaining a model of typical products based on a previously designed prototype.

Well, there is, of course, software that is developed exclusively for military purposes.

What can we conclude from the above. That the transition to something remotely Russian is not yet in sight for us. All software, except for military software, was developed for Windows and Mac OS X operating systems, and was developed for commercial purposes. Therefore, many software products are popular in the foreign market.

If we were hoping for Russian computer development, we would still be sitting at the sail and the Spectrum, downloading programs from bobbins and cassettes. What we will advise the officials to switch to, this has a huge plus - the system is absolutely safe!
