Dynamics of the IT-Export

- according to preliminary data, the export of software and of software development services in 2014 has grown up not less than 9%, while the number of personnal increased 5%

- the estimations for 2015 are much higher: encrease of personnal - 10%, export growth-rate - 18% (up to $6,7-$7,0 B)

The optimistic predictions are related to:

- the end of the mess related to the Ukrainian crisis,

- evaluation of RUR vs USD (which has already helped Russia software export to grow as we were keeping saleries in RUR),

- the economic crisis in Russia motivated business to think over IT-outsourcing and poushed entrepreneurs to put off part of IT-staff (which has ameliorated the situation in the labor-market for exporters).

- there is an evident trend of increasing State interest to the high-tech (IT) export as an alternative to the export of raw materials

Changes in the geographical markets1) USA:

- considered as a priority market by 25%of respondents (10% in 2014)

- Geopolitics and sanctions encrease risks, while there is no direct order to stop IT-business with Russia (except Crimea ), American clients are wating for political decisions, still - are looking more to India and China

2) Europe:

- Austria, Swuitzzerland and the Southern Europe demonstrate a vector of interest to cooperation with Russia (including investmenst from the Russian IT)

- on the total, the social mood turns in favour of the Russian IT-industry

3) Ukraine:

- The share of Russian software companies with development centers in Ukraine diminished from 14% (2013) down to 2%. Only 1% of respondents plan to open offices in Ukraine

4) BRICS

- Increasing exchange of delegations with BRICS countries, growth of interest to Russian IT as an alternative partner for high-tech cooperation

15

Conclusions- the Global environment for development of the Russian software industry changed for better. Certain negative impact of sanctions was mitigated by devaluation of RUR and by the State support,

- Sanctions and antiRussian propaganda in the US and EU had low impact on real business, but contributed a lot to the increase of interest to the Russian industry in the developing countries.

-Geo-Political problems moved the Industry towards the diversification of geographies in our marketing, particularly initiating Strategic partnerships in the Far East and in BRICS.

- Together with the Russian Venture Company, RUSSOFT members are open to learn opportunities of cooperation
