Russian IT giants, including MTS, VK, Rostelecom, are considering buying Russian operating system (OS) developers, market participants said. Negotiations are underway with Bazalt SPO, Astra, Red Soft and STC IT ROSA.
The mentioned companies, with the exception of Rostelecom, declined to comment. A representative of the operator explained that they already have a software developer in their portfolio. We are talking about Open Mobile Platform, which develops the Aurora OS.
What is the reason for IT companies' interest in OS development
The reason why large players are interested in software is the change in conditions. Now that Russia has set a course for import substitution, companies have obligations to ensure the security of critical information infrastructure. This opinion was expressed by the head of NP Russoft, Valentin Makarov. According to him, they want to create their own ecosystems.
Many plan to localize electronics production and add Russian software there, and then organize deliveries to state-owned companies
Another expert called this a logical step. He added that everyone is striving to get into the register of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and for this their equipment and software must comply with the recommendations of the department.
