Russian SaaS 2019 - results


The traditional results of the SaaS market for 2019 are the state, marketplaces, market figures and investments in the segment.

Gosoblako and marplepleys


It took 4 years to bring the concept of Gosoblak (State Unified Cloud Platform - GEOP) to mind. As a result, the concept turned around 180 degrees. The concept of the platform today includes a single set of basic services (Colocation, IaaS, PaaS, eGaaS - e-government infrastructure) from a pool of trusted providers, equivalent in terms of access and with transparent general market rates.

In fact, the new concept broke the approach of a single service provider, which was Rostelecom and moved into the plane of many providers that will be controlled by the Ministry of Communications - SLA, service providers, prices. If you look at the history from the point of view of SaaS services, then in this part it would be more logical to create one market place. Is not it so? From the point of view of the other constituent clouds, this will probably be a “Nutanix box” that can be taken and deployed at the regional level, and which will be friends with the conditionally “main” cloud.

In December, Mail Group received a contract for Mail.ru Group received a contract for the development of the state cloud.

Moscow showed interest in creating a SaaS services marketplace and even announced such a nomination for creating innovations in the competition. Prior to this, a responsible team came to Startpack and talked about creating with colleagues. VTB (selling third-party discount solutions and non-banking services) and MTS (starting early 2020 with its simple CRM)

launched their SaaS marketplaces .

Market


Askar Rakhimberdiev - CEO, MyClad, outraged by existing ones, made his own rating of Russian SaaS players . The rating is based on financial statements for 2018 and the data of the companies themselves. Here are the TOP 5 players and their turnovers:

  1. 1C-Bitrix: 897 million,
  2. amoCRM: 610 million
  3. My business: 547 million
  4. Calltouch: 332 million
  5. MyStore: 321 million

According to a study conducted by SberCloud and the NAFI Analytical Center, 77% of Russian large businesses and 42% of medium and small businesses at the end of 2019 confirm their readiness to switch to cloud technologies. The main barriers to migration remain questions and concerns regarding cybersecurity, as well as the complexity of such projects, often associated with the restructuring of business processes. A very, very optimistic forecast against the background of J'son & Partners Consulting's assessment of the SaaS penetration level of 3% in all horizontal segments in 2017.
