ARMADA takes part in the development of National Software Platform

ARMADA OJSC (MICEX, RTS: ARMD) has taken part in conference “National Software Platform as a Priority in the Development of Information and Communications Technologies” held in Moscow on May 26, 2011. The conference was arranged by Sirius concern, the coordinator of the National Software Platform and a part of Russian Technologies Corporation.

The technological platform National Software Platform (NSP) was approved by the government’s Commission for High Technologies and Innovations on April 1, 2011. NSP brings together developers of strategically important innovative software and focuses on free software as the most promising segment of domestic software engineering. According to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who chairs the commission, technological platforms should create incentives for the government and businesses to be active in innovations and raise funds for research and training of high-qualified specialists.

As a co-arranger of NSP, ARMADA plays an active role in solving priority tasks faced by members of the technological platform. One of these tasks is to develop domestic software for all modern electronic devices ranging from microprocessors to supercomputers. The infrastructure for distributed software development and generic solutions for the social sector, industry and municipal authorities should be in place in 2011 or 2012. Future plans call for developing services based on cloud technology, telecommunications solutions, and comprehensive module replication solutions based on NSP.

“The domestic software market is expected to expand fivefold by 2020 without the NSP technological platform, whereas it is expected to surge more than 12 times by that time if the platform is up and running,” Sirius CEO Leonid Ukhlinov said at the conference.

ARMADA CEO Roman Kruglyakov commented on ARMADA’s involvement in NSP “The Development of NSP will make it possible to create a new segment connected to the use of free software, which currently accounts for quite a small portion of the market, and to encourage Russian consumers to refocus on fundamentally new added value products made in Russia.”
