Video conferencing systems are rapidly evolving, closing the business needs for effective communication and cooperation. What pace has the Russian VKS market developed in recent years, what the developers of VKS systems are focusing on today, what trends and user requests are taken into account in their solutions and how successfully import substitution of foreign platforms is taking place - in the new TAdviser review.

The development of the market in 2024 was due to several factors. The situation was influenced by both the current sanctions and the reduction in customer budgets. Many state-owned and commercial companies have moved major projects to 2025 and later.

Experts note the trend of refusal of large organizations, especially companies-subjects of CII, companies with state participation and government agencies, from cloud solutions in favor of local installations (on-premium). This is due to increasing information security requirements and the need to protect data.

An important factor was a new package of sanctions against cloud software vendors, which affects, among other things, companies that paid licenses abroad, but use services in Russia.

Russian customers have completed testing of business communications services and have formed high requirements for domestic platforms, which has reduced the number of active bidders.

Among the drivers of market development today are improving the quality of user experience and integrating VKS with other services and systems - such as CRM, ERP, cloud storage and project management systems. This allows companies to operate more efficiently.

The new ranking of the largest system suppliers video conferencings (VKS), prepared by TAdviser at the end of 2023, was attended by 16 companies - vendors and integrators of such solutions. The leader of the rating was IVA Technologies with revenue of more than 4 billion rubles. from the implementation of VKS projects. The second line is for the company, Truconf the third - for VK Tech.

The total revenue of all participants in the rating exceeded 15 billion rubles.

Video conferencing systems are rapidly evolving, closing the business needs for effective communication and cooperation. TAdviser analysts learned about the technological trends in this area from the suppliers of such solutions.

According to TAdviser, most of the implementations of video conferencing systems occur in the public sector and education. These two industries account for more than 36% of all projects implemented.

Among the developers of VKS systems, Spirit (VideoMost) and Trukonf are the leaders in the number of projects implemented. They account for about 70% of all implemented projects known to TAdviser.

The unified communications market in Russia is growing. In terms of penetration into the public sector, domestic UC platforms have already overtaken Western ones. But most commercial companies have yet to choose a Russian supplier of unified communications systems or services. And in view of the growing competition of the players of this market, this choice will not be easy.

In the annual review of the Russian market for UC systems, solutions and services in the Russian Federation, TAdviser will tell you what new opportunities have appeared for the products of leading suppliers, what approaches to migration from foreign unified communications systems to domestic ones have been developed, how information security is ensured and why artificial intelligence is useful for solutions of this class.
