Russia’s Digital Economy Finds Its Footing Through IT Integration
In 2025, as previously reported, Russia’s digital economy reached a turning point, with the IT integration market growing to unprecedented scale.
2025 marked a watershed year for Russia’s IT integration market. Its total turnover exceeded one trillion rubles (about $12 billion). This was not a one-off surge but the result of cumulative, long-term effort. Companies learned to work with large, complex systems, while both business and government increasingly entrusted integrators with mission-critical processes.
Rolling Out Ecosystems
The focus has shifted from fragmented products to full-scale ecosystems. Integrators are bringing infrastructure, application services, and analytics together into unified environments. Banks are moving to comprehensive data management platforms. Industry is deploying end-to-end digital frameworks. Regions are building unified IT landscapes for utilities, transport, and social services.
Turnkey Solutions
Demand for domestic platforms grew sharply in 2025. ERP, BI, data management, and security systems are increasingly delivered on a turnkey basis. Integrators are now responsible not only for deployment but also for adapting products to specific customer requirements.
Working With the State
Another defining trend of the year was large-scale government projects. Situation centers, digital twins, and interagency platforms are no longer experimental. They have moved into full industrial operation, where integration expertise is essential.
2025 demonstrated a simple reality. Russia’s IT ecosystem is capable of building complex systems. Using domestic software. For real-world tasks. At scale. That became the key takeaway of the year for the IT integration market.
