Let us consider the situation using the example of the Rikor USFF 101/01 032 system, the production of which was started by the vendor in the first half of November at its own production facilities in Arzamas.
Russian IT vendors had it tough even before February 2022 : the tough competition from global A-brands alone was worth it. After the start of the SVO and the introduction of large-scale restrictions against Russia, things did not get any easier — except that the range of challenges became noticeably more diverse. Nevertheless, domestic IT vendors are working, developing, setting new tasks for themselves, tunisia telegram database responding to requests from customers and partners in the IT channel — how could they not? Who, if not them? Evgeny Stepanov , CEO of ICL Group , spoke about the prospects for the development of Russian IT production and building cooperation in the channel .
IT Channel News: You spoke in detail about your joint achievements with partners at the recent ICL Partner Connect forum . What can you say about the current problems and challenges that you are overcoming?
Evgeny Stepanov: Indeed, if there are achievements, then we also have to deal with overcoming them.
I would call the main challenge the general instability, because we are in a general economic trend: and we as a business are primarily negatively affected by the increased cost of money. There are also more specific problems. For example, difficulties with payments to China: recently, the result of each payment has been unpredictable and unstable. And if a payment does not go through today, then in a few months this may lead to a shortage of a number of components, which means interruptions in the production rhythm, failure to meet deadlines for the release of finished products, penalties, fines. That is why it is important for us now to find solutions and cope with such challenges quickly.
