Abstract

Regulators of the Russian software market over the past five years have a significant impact on the market: from the serious requirements about the protection of personal data in information systems to the policy of import substitution. This article contains a part of the results of the author’s research that covered 79 experienced engineers and managers in all federal districts of Russia. The expert’s panel reviewed the change in costs and efforts in software development projects connected with stricter requirements for collecting and storing personal data, evaluated import substitution of system and application software and determined the possibilities of using technologies, based on open-source code. The results of the study are accompanied by brief recommendations of the author.
