Russian Companies Seek Profit Amidst Constraints

Russian companies are prioritizing secure messengers for corporate communication, moving away from public news channels. Roman Klopasov, head of strategic consulting at ARB Pro, highlighted that while free alternatives exist, they do not meet the primary corporate demand for confidentiality. Companies are concerned about their correspondence and client data being read. Klopasov noted that transitioning from paid services to free ones is not sensible when options like Bitrix or AmaSerymov are available, with costs potentially starting at zero per year. This move aims to improve the manageability of information flows and prevent data leaks. Employees will have an additional messenger to manage, potentially requiring them to learn new communication protocols. Russian companies are actively seeking profit despite facing economic constraints.
