FTS will spend 3.3 billion rubles to adapt its system to the domestic "Linux" and "Office"

    As is known, within the framework of the import substitution program, government departments are obliged to replace expensive American Windows and MS Office with cheap Russian counterparts. Alternatively, the proposed operating system "Alt Linux" company "Basalt SPO" and office software "Moyofis" company "New Cloud Technologies" (HOT). But here there are unexpected difficulties and unforeseen expenses.

    The Federal Tax Service (FTS) conducted testing of the automated information system (AIS) "Tax-3" and found that it is poorly compatible with the above-mentioned Russian software. The test results are published in a report (a copy is available in the Kommersant edition ).

    To refine its system, the Federal Tax Service requested 3.3 billion rubles. from the state budget. The system "Tax-3" is written in .NET.

    On October 19, the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media sent the Federal Tax Service report to the Analytical Center (AC) under the government, the Scientific Research Institute Voskhod, and the Competence Center for ICT Import Substitution following a meeting with Deputy Communications Minister Alexei Sokolov. Obviously, now the AC will decide whether to allocate such funds to refine the system or whether it is more profitable to stay on Windows and MS Office. At the current rate of 3.3 billion rubles, this is $ 50.2 million. Considering the additional costs of installing and maintaining Russian “analogs,” imported software may even be cheaper.

    The AC confirmed that the letter "was taken into account and taken into account in the work, but does not contain direct instructions" to the center.

    Ilya Massuh, director of the Center for Competence on Import Substitution, stated that it is “wrong” to judge the quality of software products based on the results of testing a year and a half ago, since they are “dynamically developing”. Nevertheless, it is necessary to invest in the adaptation of departmental AIS to the Russian software, the import substitution director is sure: now they "are so deeply using foreign software products that it has become dangerous from the point of view of information security." The cost of such adaptation does not exceed 10% of the cost of the information systems themselves, he estimated.

    “MyOffice” was tested in a version released at the end of 2016, and over the past two years, about 90% of the comments were eliminated, says the General Director of the Oblast Dmitry Komissarov. He stressed that “My office” does not have a single Russian alternative, so the company does not have the right to participate in centralized procurement. Because of this, tenders are won by foreign competitors, especially Microsoft.
