Sergey Kolodey, CEO of SIGMA (a 100% subsidiary of the Inter RAO Group since May 2021), expressed his position: "In my opinion, sovereignty must be complete. This is a difficult and slow path, taking about 30 years, so we need to start moving now and use all available experience to achieve this goal. If we fully implement national technological sovereignty, fundamentally new opportunities will open up for the Russian IT industry - and this is what we need to strive for."

Anton Malkov, member of the supervisory board, chairman of the board of directors of JSC "Galaktika Corporation""There are not many ERP systems in the world. And the fact that there are several of them in Russia is a great achievement of domestic engineering thought," emphasized Anton Malkov, member new zealand cell phone number list of the supervisory board and chairman of the board of directors of the Galaktika Corporation . "We understand that we need to move forward, create software and hardware systems, including secure ones, for critical information infrastructure facilities. We also need to create stands that will allow us to assemble the entire stack: from the processor to the operating system, DBMS, ERP. Without customers, all this is impossible to do, so I propose organizing such work together."

Denis Savenkov, General Director of RK-Tsifra LLCDenis Savenkov, CEO of RK-Tsifra (a single digital IT integrator for the rocket and space industry, part of the Roscosmos State Corporation), continued: "We have a generation raised on the ideology of consumption. We have learned to implement and reproduce, but have forgotten how to dream and create. We need to restore the scientific, inventive, dreamy paradigm of the 1960s, when an entire generation was engrossed in the magazine Tekhnika - Molodezhi, rather than leafing through Forbes or GQ. That is, first of all, we need to rebuild our brains. In the 1950s and 1960s, the Soviet Union chose its own path in cybernetics and radio electronics, we were world leaders in many areas. Then we turned to the path of "compatibility with the West", to the path, roughly speaking, of "copying". We need to return to our path, to regain our well-deserved place as pioneers. The resources in Russia are enormous, the people are the smartest, always finding a way out from difficult situations and able to solve a problem within the required time, especially when understanding that it is impossible to continue "as it was before". We are a creative people."

Alexander Pruzhinin, Deputy General Director of Lukoil-Technologies LLCDeputy General Director of LUKOIL-Technologies, Alexander Pruzhinin, expressed a dissenting opinion: "Verbal nouns beginning with "not" - like "independence" - carry a certain negative connotation. There must be independence, the ability to perform tasks independently - although this is a derivative of the same word - from circumstances. It is important to free your head. It is enough to open the Wikipedia article "R-7": in fact, this is the rocket on which Russia still sends astronauts into space. The decision that it needed to be developed was made at the end of 1950, three and a half years later the draft design was ready, and three years later we launched the world's first satellite. What 30 years? You need to rewire your brain: nothing prevents you from doing something in a very short time." He added thatknow how to load the capacities of modern microprocessors, and such processors are not really needed for business - except perhaps for individual tasks (strength calculations, hydrodynamic modeling, etc.). But such tasks have always been solved on supercomputers. "The USSR produced processors minus two generations in terms of productivity, even though in the 1970s it practically abandoned its own development of processors and electronic component base," recalled Alexander Pruzhinin. "Business does not need balloons flying up in Telegram or WhatsApp and other cartoon effects that eat up processor power. It is important for us that information is transmitted, processed, and the result can be presented in the required form. Therefore, frequent references to the fact that we will be forced to use foreign computers and operating systems look more and more like excuses."

, CEO of Rubitech, commented: "When talking about sovereignty, everyone is afraid of autarky, although many people like the concept of freedom of digital development and availability of technologies for company development. Whether these will be solutions for the entire technology stack developed specifically in Russia, or there will be an opportunity to use international solutions freely distributed and supported in the territory of the Russian Federation - to a large extent it is the same thing. We have long been betting on import substitution, but at first it was explained by financial and economic reasons - when everyone wanted to get rid of the Oracle monopoly in DBMS or IBM in heavy hardware solutions. We use six scenarios of what to do with each information system or IT solution, and only one involves replacement. There are many options for how to live in the world of new technological solutions, correctly integrating them into the IT landscape and correctly applying them. To succeed in this, to freely understand the technologies that are available, and to be able to apply them - this is a step towards freedom of digital development."

Dmitry Bulenkov, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, RAMAX GroupDmitry Bulenkov, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at RAMAX Group, summed up: "The ITSMIR conference has clearly demonstrated how important lively dialogue and a common understanding of processes are for adapting to the new reality and coordinated actions on the industry's path to digital sovereignty. I am confident that in the foreseeable future, major players in the domestic IT market will significantly expand their portfolio of developments and services to maintain business continuity for industrial enterprises, and at one of the next similar meetings we will discuss the results of their implementation and operation, share accumulated experience and best practices to improve the efficiency of the digital transformation of Russian industry."
