The gran comprises the councils, helping to lower expenses, to lift productivity and an overall performance of the organisations, to limit the risks connected with installation of counterfeit software products and to provide conformity of the enterprise to legislative requirements and norms.

By results of the research spent BSA in territory of the Russian Federation, 63,6 % of the interrogated heads of the Russian enterprises never heard about SAM. Thus among small enterprises the share unfamiliar with practice SAM reaches 73 % whereas in the large enterprises about it did not hear 55 %. To raise awareness on concept SAM of corporate users and to tell about its advantages, BSA lets out the given grant.

Though for set of the companies the software is a basis of all business, many enterprises do not regard it as an active having paramount, critical value, – Alexey Chernyj , the co-ordinator of program BSA in Russia has told. – frequently value of program actives remains not noticed, and responsibility for the software account is assigned on department or to purchasing department; at the same time, as finally ON influences work off almost all business, management of program actives should be a prerogative of the chief executive or board of directors. The management concept program actives can help business both with the financial plan, and from positions of operational efficiency.

Introduction of processes on management of program actives, in turn, allows the enterprises to operate more effectively the software within the limits of corporation, guarantees presence of necessary licences and helps to avoid an operational and financial damage from use of not authorised versions of the software, including, claim requirements, penalties, losses or damage of the given and virus attacks. At the same time, the understanding of what software is used in the company, allows employees to coose more correctly program decisions, raising thereby own efficiency, and even allows to save at the expense of revealing of not used software products.

Processors have again started to buy up

2009-08-08T10:51:00.001-07:00

Analysts have fixed atypically high growth of volume of deliveries of processors following the results of 2nd quarter 2009 As informs IDC, all during the period from April till June has been sold on 10,1 % of processors more than for the previous three-monthly period. As a rule, 2nd quarter is characterised by the worst dynamics within a calendar year. So, for the similar period of last year (1-2 quarters 2008) CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT deliveries have increased all by 3,1 %, and it during pre-crisis time.

Anyhow, in volumes of deliveries experts connect the given 10 percent increase not with demand increase in the final market, and with replenishment of warehouse stocks of manufacturers of the personal computer.

In comparison with 2nd quarter of last year, world deliveries of processors were reduced to 7 %.

The gain of manufacturers following the results of the period has grown on 7,9 % in comparison with 1st quarter 2009, however in comparison with 2nd quarter of last year was reduced to 15,3 %.

Deliveries of processors with 1st till 2nd quarter 2009 have grown on 12,5 %. The company share has increased by 1,6 %. It has occupied 78,9 % of the market. Deliveries of processors dynamics of 1,8 %, that not, the market share of the company was reduced to 1,6 % to 20,6 %, Via Technologies has occupied 0,5 % of the market.

CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT deliveries have jumped up on 10 %, however it still about what does not speak, consider in IDC

Every fourth sold Intel the processor in 2nd quarter concerned ruler Atom. In total these chips have brought 8,1 % of all gain received during the specified period. In a segment of processors for mobile personal computers Intel has occupied a share in 86,9 % of all deliveries in numerical expression (2,6 %), AMD — 12,6 % (-2,4 %). In a segment of server CENTRAL PROCESSING UNITS Intel has received 89,9 % (0,5), AMD – 10,1 % (-0,5), desktop personal computers: Intel – 70,2 %, AMD – 29,4 % (shares have changed slightly).

Summing up the received values, experts IDC not undertake to say that the market of processors has started to be restored, - as growth of deliveries has been generated by replenishment of warehouse stocks, instead of growth of demand among end users.

In the meantime official representatives of branch association Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) are adjusted more positively. According to the president of organisation George Skelajza (George Scalise), they mark growth of deliveries of semiconductors the fourth month sucessively. It testifies that the market comes back to the habitual dynamics. According to Skelajza, the exhaustion of warehouse stocks cannot occur simply so it means that positive shifts occur and in the final market.

According to SIA, sales of chips in 2nd quarter 2009 have in money terms grown in comparison with 1st quarter on 17 % to $51,7 billion However in comparison with last year were reduced to the fifth part.

also mentions the updatings of forecasts made for last of some months. So, it is expected that sales of the personal computer following the results of 2009 will be reduced to 5 % instead of 9-12 % pedicted earlier. Sales of phones will be reduced to 7-9 % against 15 % in older forecasts and so on. All it testifies once again to economy restoration, he considers.

To armada advise to buy

2009-08-07T12:16:00.001-07:00

The company Armada has presented preliminary financial results for 1 half-year 2009 the Gain for this period has made 748 million that on 37 % less than a similar indicator of last year. Thus indicator EBITDA has grown on 10 % and has made 73 million

In structure of incomes of the company, as well as earlier, the state customers pevailed, the share of receipts from these contracts has made more than 75 %. The share of any of the largest clients still does not exceed 7 % from a cumulative gain of Armada.

In the company with optimism look at 2nd half of year, expecting increase in activity of the IT Market, especially in the state segment. The armada also intends to continue in 2009 before strategy M

Alexey Kuzovkin: the Company has a stable portfolio of orders, has spent successful optimisation of expenses, has no debts and does not require long-term external financing

Thanks to the spent measures on reduction of expenses, the Armada plans to finish year with profitability substantial growth on indicator EBITDA to 12-16 % in 2009 the Gain in 2009, possibly, the Company will make from 4 to 5 has a stable portfolio of orders, has spent uccessful optimisation of expenses, has no debts and does not require long-term external financing, therefore we can increase profitability, - Alexey Kuzovkin, the chairman of board of directors of Armada has declared.

Analysts estimate the Armada reporting as moderately positive. Despite decrease in a gain of the company on 37 % to 748 million concerning the similar period of last year, the company it was possible to increase indicator EBITDA by powerful 10 % to 73 million, - Julia Golysheva, an analyst of Finam marks. It connects reduction of a gain of the company, first of all, with negative influence of crisis as a whole on market IT, and as consequence, - with decrease in perspectivity of development of some hi-tech projects.

Anton Voryhalov, the senior analyst iKS-Consulting, also names demand falling as most plausible reason of reduction of incomes. Here it is possible to notice the positive factor - sharp decrease in costs that has allowed the company to increase total profitability, - he speaks.

Growth of indicator EBITDA, by our estimations, became a consequence of effective optimisation of expenses of the company and absence of debt loading against stable volume of orders for production and service, - continues Golysheva. - As to Armada plans on profitability increase growth of the given indicator, in our opinion, it will be essential to depend on volume and structure of orders of the company. The diversifitsirovannaja structure of customers, on a share of largest of which is not necessary more than 7 %, will allow there have arrived the companies to level risks of change of volume of orders from some clients. At the same time, we predict that the share of the state as the customer of services can increase in the second half of the year of current year, and it will appear even more essential situation in case of adverse development in economy.

On a site of operating company GoIndustry DoveBid Group the equipment of the German manufacturer of microcircuits of memory Qimonda - for polishing of substrates, lithograph, etching, packing and testing of chips is exposed on sale. Auction will last tilll September, 21st, 2009

the equipment Exposed on auction is at factory Qimonda in Dresden. Manufacture on this platform has been suspended in April, and the decision definitively to close factory by the end of this year now is accepted. Most likely, it will sell in parts. Half from 200 serving enterprises, occupied now by equipment service, most likely, will be dismissed.

Qimonda has made the decision on manufacture closing just when other manufacturers of memory have started to inform on growth of demand for the production and, including, about plans on manufacture expansion. The prices for microcircuits DRAM grow, and in some segments of the market even their deficiency is observed.

According to Reuters, other actives Qimonda - namely, manufacture of microcircuits of memory GDDR for video cards, - have interested Japanese Elpida, applying for the post in Top-3 of this segment, after Samsung and Hynix. For this active applies also Taiwan Winbond Electronics, according to DigiTimes. Winbond wishes to licence developed Qimonda technology Buried Wordline and to receive a part of capacities Qimonda on release of chips GDDR-3 and GDDR-5 on the basis of 300-millimetric silicon substrates. According to DigiTimes, interests Elpida and Wnbond, probably, coincide: manufacture of memory of type GDDR for Elpida on technologies Qimonda can adjust on capacities Winbond.

By estimations of Russian Finama, probable cost Qimonda can make $60 million whereas all some years ago it was ten times above.

In December of last year the government of Germany has found on rescue Qimonda the loan in size €325 million, however these means have not helped. The management tried to find additional means, but unsuccessfully. In January, 2009 the company declared bankruptcy. Ruin principal causes — sharp reduction in demand in an economic crisis and a rigid competition in the market.

Now over the company the temporary head supervises. Search of new investors became its primary goal.

The government has decided to merge Angstrem and Micron

2009-08-01T07:39:00.001-07:00

Minpromtorg studies a question of association of two Russian microelectronic factories Angstrem and Micron (enters in Sitroniks, supervised AFK System) on manufacture of sdmi-conductor components in the size of 90 nanometers. With such statement has acted zamglavy the ministries. Jury Borisov. , informs Interfax.

According to Borisov, at the given stage the Micron project on manufacture of chips of 90 nanometers is actually started, and factory Angstrema realisation was tightened. In 2011 Russia can receive two factories with identical technological parametres which will compete in the same grocery niches, considers Borisov. Association - process uneasy as behind two projects there are private companies - AFK System and group of companies Angstrem, but both projects are financed in VYeBe, the detached onlooker, and the serious player who can promote this association are supported through realisation of federal target programs, therefore the state here noot, - representative Minpromtorga has declared.

In 2008, in interview to magazine CNews, Jury Borisov expressed an opposite position: Both for Angstrema, and for Micron of a sphere of action will suffice.

Presence of two, instead of one factories - is always better for many reasons. From the point of view of the state is a technological and information safety. From the point of view of a competition is a stimulus to development. Why the ministry position has cardinally changed today, it is necessary to guess only. Jury Borisov has not answered call CNews.

Other representative Minpromtorga has on the condition of anonymity informed that full association of actives of two enterprises is supposed. On Monday, on July, 27th, representatives of Angstrema and Micron will discuss, as he said, this question in Minpromtorge. In opinion. Dmitry Milovantseva.

, chairman of board of directors Angstrem, it is logical to begin association of two enterprises with association of grocery rulers. Workings out of new chips for microelectronic factories cost ten millions dollars and if both companies play one market creation of products is logical for conducting in common, - he considers. Further, at creation of manufacture of chips with the topological sizes 65 and 45 nanometers, as he said, make sense to unite and at level of manufactures. In System CNews press-service AFK have informed that know about idea of association of two enterprises, but official proposals in this respect did not receive. Representatives of Sitroniksa were inaccessible to comments.

The source in Micron has informed CNews that the question of association of two enterprises lay on a surface for a long time already. The Russian market of microelectronics small, therefore to two players on it is not present a place, - he speaks. - on the other hand, presence of two enterprises creates a competition, but at their association we will compete also to foreign players. Zelenograd Angstrem, entering into group Angstrem, has put 100 % of actions for reception of the credit from Foreign trade and investment bank for the sum of 815 million euro off the beginning of 2008 On this money equipment AMD for manufacture of chips in the size of 130 nanometers and factory building in Zelenograd which at present is not finished has been paid.

FROM have deprived 0,5 mlrd results of competition of Minkomsvjazi under biopassports are cancelled

2009-07-31T12:29:00.001-07:00

The federal antimonopoly service has made the decision on stay of placing of the state order for technical support and operation of an interdepartmental segment of the state system of manufacturing, registration and the control of passport and visa documents of new generation (biopassports) in 2009 On it CNews has informed. Maria Schneider. , the assistant to director FGUP scientific research institute the Rising, serving system now. We will remind, in competition on its support, which results of Minkomsvjazi has brought on July, 17th, 2009, the company Open technologies 98. Decision FAS was acccepted by results of consideration of the complaint of Rising (is available at the disposal of CNews), the service directed to the head. To Igor Artemyev.

On July, 16th, 2009 the Reason of cancellation of results of competition – discrepancy of the competitive documentation 94 FZ. FAS has decided to cancel competition reports, to return demands to its participants and to hold new competition. It is possible to familiarise with the complaint text. According to Rising, for example, Minkomsvjazi has incorrectly chosen a way of placing of the order – according to the order of the government of the Russian Federation the service provider on technics maintenance service should get out by auction, instead of competition. Besides, the specified place of performance of works – Moscow and Moscow Region - does not correspond to a place of actual carrying out of these works, is told in the document. One more point of the complaint is curious. To participation in competition copany LISSI which has not given to the information on the qualification has been admitted that, according to Rising contradicts the most competitive documentation. This company has played a key role in competition summarising.

In the demand it has dropped initial cost of the contract more than in 33 times – with 512 to 15 million, having made criterion of the price of the contract much less significant. Thus, the demand of Open technologies with the 495 million price could outstrip the demand of Rising with the price of 197 million Conclusion of the complaint of Rising en face is reduced to the following: it is obvious that the essential part from the criteria of an estimation of competitive demands specified by the customer is directed not so much on revealing of the most qualitative offer and the qualified participant, how many on artificial reduction of applicants for a victory. In Minkomsvjazi at the moment of the material publication could not comment on decision FAS and answer questions CNews. The information on when new competition will take place, in Rising have no, but say that will take in it part. In company Tehnoserv which also were taking part in cancelled competition, comments have refused.

In Open technologies CNews have declared that the company will be ready to give comments concerning decision FAS only after reception of the official notice from FAS and acquaintance with it.

As to participation in new competition if that will be declared, we will familiarise with its conditions and after that we will make the decision on participation or nonparticipation in it, - have informed also in Open technologies.

We will remind that after competition of Minkomsvjazi has spent auction on service of a hardware infrastructure of system of registration of biopassports in 2009 By its results a victory also the company Open technologies (the contract sum - almost 200 million rub). The scientific research institute participating in auction FGUP Rising did not begin to struggle for the contract and to lower the price, having explained it to that the winner of auction becomes in direct dependence on the winner of the previous competition. I. e.

, in case of a victory in new competition of the Rising, Open technologies will appear in an uneasy situation – they should provide the equipment support which part is physically located in territory FGUP scientific research institute Rising. Since yesterday Rising of an interdepartmental segment of system of registration of biopassports also intends to support its work up to the conclusion of the contract with the new executor when it would not take place. Review CNews prepares for the publication.

IDC Cheap personal computers return the market to growth

2009-07-31T04:25:00.001-07:00

In 2nd quarter 2009, as well as in first three months of year, the personal computer world market has shown hardly the best results, than researchers IDC that hzs a little underestimated their fears concerning crisis scales expected. The volume of deliveries of the personal computer after all world (including desktop and mobile computers and without servers of x86 th architecture) for this period has decreased on 3,1 % in comparison with 3rd quarter 2008 is twice more low before expected IDC falling on 6,3 %. In all regions of the world indicators on personal computer deliveries have coincided with expectations of analysts or have surpassed them. In spite of the fact that crisis still aloud affects all IT Market, its consequences were softened with the personal computer market on which preferences of buyers were displaced from more productive cars aside easier, mobile and budgetary.

Portable personal computers have served as the basic engine of the market of computers in 2nd quarter of this year, mark in IDC. Such results – very positive sign for second half of year, - makes comments. Loran Lovard.

From IDC. – We see proceeding demand from outside the consumer market and the limited influence of various factors, namely maintenance of balance of warehouse stocks, on channels of sales. Release of new products in 2nd half of year in a combination to seasonal growth and higher degree of consumer confidence (the economy based, in particular, on the state stimulation, revival in the market of the inhabited real estate, rather stable share market and interest rates, and also progress in automobile and financial branches) should return the market to growth by the end of this year. Top-5 world manufacturers of the personal computer, 2nd quarter 2009 (preliminary results, in thousand piece, not including servers x86). A source: IDC, on July, 15th, 2009 But in spite of the fact that the personal computer market surpasses expectations of analysts IDC already the second quarter successively, its growth brakes low activity in the corporate market.

Business does not hasten to leave money, as a result in the given segment there are no those price wars and aspiration to new portable devices, as in a consumer sector. Despite appreciable reduction of volumes of the market in comparison with the same period of last year, the market of the USA has shown quarter growth above an average that it is possible to consider as a sign of stabilisation and improvement of a market situation, - marks. Bean O'Donnell. (Bob O’Donnell) from IDC.

– but in spite of the fact that quarter growth can be a restoration sign, the aiming at cheap personal computers and minilaptops, most likely, will lower market volume.

According to the expert, the market continues tto rely on a consumer sector, activity of a corporate segment is low. In 2nd half of year, under forecasts O'Donnella, the situation will change a little: growth of the corporate market of the personal computer is expected not earlier than 2011 Top-5 Manufacturers of the personal computer to the USA, 2nd quarter 2009 (preliminary results, in thousand piece, not including servers x86).

A source: IDC, on July, 15th, 2009 the personal computer Market in the USA for 2nd quarter was reduced to 3 %. It was narrowed and in region EMEA (Europe, the Near East and Africa). In Japan personal computer deliveries were reduced more slowly, than it was supposed, - growth indicators in pogodovom comparison here have considerably improved in comparison with 1st quarter. In Asian-Pacific region the volume of deliveries of the personal computer was above portable devices expected at the expense of a segment, especially in South East Asia. High indicators here at China, and results of India have almost coincided with forecasts IDC. After several quarters of decrease in volumes of deliveries here growth again has started to be observed.

We will remind that other researchers speak about restoration of the market of the personal computer in 4th quarter also. So, in the recent reporrt iSuppli that during this period pobemy personal computer deliveries in the world year by a year will grow on 3,6 %. The trend will proceed and in 2010 Following the results of next year world sales of personal computers will grow on 4,7 % in comparison with 2009 of Everything, by estimations iSuppli, in 2009 in the world will be sold 287,3 million computers that on 4 % it is less in comparison with 299,2 million last year. Before experts from iSuppli predicted growth of sales on 0,7 %.

To similar conclusions analysts Gartner have come also.

Under their forecasts, the personal computer world market to positive dynamics in 4th quarter 2009, and in 2010 sales volume growth will make 10 %. Everything, by calculations Gartner, in 2009 in the world it will be sold 274 million personal computers that on 6 % it is less in comparison with last year (292 million).

One more problem of the project a card of the pupil - safety of schoolboys: for the past years many establishments have been equipped by access monitoring systems. The rationing system not only cuts visits of strangers to schools, but also helps to watch attendance. It was supposed that the card can be used and as storehouse of the personal medical data, and as an electronic diary, and as a library ticket in library.

Initially the project developed with personal support of the mayor of Moscow.

The volume of translated means for accounts of schoolboys for 1 quarter 2009 grew in a geometrical progression and has made over 2 million in comparison with 70 thousand in 4 quarter 2008 However for 2009 the budget of the innovative project it has appeared is equal to zero. Before it was formed of the means allocated with Department of formation and Management of information of the government of Moscow. Financing of the project the Card of the pupil has been suspended, though in a city budget of Moscow within the limits of city target programs of means for it are planned, Yablonsky speaks. The most perspective innovative project zabuksoval because of interdepartmental nesostykovok, - is considered by the deputy of Moscow City Council from fraction an United Russia. Stepan Orlov.

As a result of absence of money competitions on performance of works on project support in 2009 are not held In this connection educational institutions cannot continue work with system in new 2009-2010 educational year. Besides, training to work with cards of employees of educational institutions and industrial complexes of a school food is stopped. Yablonsky is afraid that if the situation with financinng will not change, efforts of last years on development of system of school cards will be simply crossed out.

Virtualizacijа has grasped servers and SHD

2009-07-22T03:46:00.001-07:00

Servers (32 %), data storage systems (SHD) (24 %) and possibility of reduction of expenses (10,3 %) – here with what, first of all, associates virtualizacijа at the European IT Experts interrogated by company NettApp. Reduction of costs (24,8 %) and flexibility of management (20,3 %) have been named among the basic priorities in motivation of the companies at transition to the virtual environment.

Andreas Kenig. (Andreas Kenig), the senior vice-president and the general director of division NetApp EMEA, considers that superiority of servers in this associative to a number is absolutely natural, as virtualizacijа servers defines, how IT Managers project and realise IT Decisions. That on the second place there were data storage systems, in its opinion, confrms the tendency to transformation of a data storage in a key variable of the equation for virtualizovannoi environments.

Respondents thus notice that SHD in virtual environments should possess a number of characteristics. Among the most important - high readiness (21,9 %), productivity (21,9 %), emergency restooration (18,8 %) and efficiency SHD (17,7 %). It is necessary to place the basic emphasis On these parametres in any virtualizovannoi to environment, - makes comments on Kenig. – the Enterprises which use virtual infrastructures in the activity, should be assured that they can quickly and effectively provide a continuity of business processes.

At transition to the virtual environment of the company count on economy and flexibility in management.

As have shown results of questioning, the dominant role in increase of efficiency of storehouses in the virtual environment is played by two technologies: dedublikacijа (31,7 %) and technology snyеpshotov (instant pictures) (26,3 %). Really, according to NetApp, with the help dedublikacii data-processing centres can reduce to 50 % requirement for disk space for cores SHD wnd to 95 % - for reserve.

Let's remind that at technology virtualizacii in Europe traditionally strong positions. As recent research IDC, use of this technology in Europe not only essentially influences the server market, but also is (and will be) basic at designing and management of data-processing centres (COD). According to IDC, in 2008 for the first time in history the market of x86 servers in Europe it has been sold more than virtual cars, than physical. The new alignment of forces is promoted by crisis, and in the future rupture between the given categories will increase only.

Analysts cut down IT Budgets, but any more will not be

2009-07-22T01:33:00.001-07:00

As has shown new interrogation Gartner, in 1st quarter of this year IT Directors had to reconsider the budgets as business formed the approach to overcoming of world financial crisis. In interrogation which passed from March, 1st till April, 30th, participated nearby 900 CIO from the different countries of the world. According to respondents, as a whole on their IT Budgets it was necessary over $77 billion 46 % of IT Directors have noticed that in the beginning of year their budgets for 2009 have been changed: in 42 % of cases are reduced, in 4 % - are increased.

54 % of respondents have declared that their IT Budget has not undergone changes. Thus over 90 % of the companies which have reduced the IT Budget in 1st quarter of this year, cut down it on the average on 7,2 % from originally planned level. To judge scale of changes, in Gartner result results of similar interrogation in which from September till December of last year have taken part over 1,5 thousand CIO. Then they expected that IT Budgets of their companies for 2009 Remain at level of 2008 or will very little increase – by 0,16 %.

Now it is informed on decrease in IT Expenses on 4,7 % (in comparison with the budget confirmed in the end of the year) on the average on all sample of the interrogated. Thw world: influence of crisis on the company IT Budget. A source: Gartner, 2009 By words. Mark McDonald. (Mark McDonald), vice-president Gartner, CIO the IT Budgets, basically, at the expense of revision of cost of IT Contracts, and also personnel reduction cut down. Besides, they tried not to reduce, first of all, the investment into IT Projects, and to shift the work most part on shoulders of regular IT Experts and to postpone planned earlier capital expenses.

On increase in the IT Budget at 2009 – on the average on 2,2 % - have informed only IT direktory from public health services sector.

In all other vertical markets, on the contrary, in 1st quarter IT Budgets have been reduced.

Have been most strongly mentioned sector of professional services (-10 %), a TV set and IT (also-10 %), the industry (-8 %), housing and communal services (-4 %) and financial services (-4 %). The majority of IT Directors realise threat of the further reduction of IT Budgets this year, but consider such probability low. At the same time, quantity CIO, having the developed plan for a case of unforeseen circumstances, has grown twice in comparison with 2008 Such plans provide both reduction, and possible increase in IT Expenses. 44 % of IT Directors thus do not believe that they should take advantage of extreme plans, the others assume that such necessity can arise in the nearest half a year.

Russia: influence of crisis on the company IT Budget. A source: CNews Analytics, 2009 Interrogation has shown that IT direktory They expect restoration of economy somewhere in between 1st and 3rd quarter 2010 plan to increase at first signs of this restoration investments in IT and to type new employees. Money on ON, hardware and IT Infrastructure development also will be first of all. The heads of business making plans in 4th quarter 2008 , Have faced the uncertainty caused by begun economic crisis, - McDonald makes comments.

– taking into account the extreme plans developed by IT Directors, they are is better prepared now for the future changes in economy. Nevertheless, majority CIO do not expect a fast embodiment of these plans. It means that the companies do not plan till the end of 2009 of other updatings of IT Budgets, except already made in 1st quarter. As to priorities Russian CIO, that, according to spent CNews Analytics, more than half from them have confirmed IT Budget reduction for 2009 In comparison with 2008 it is curious that in 29 % the companies participating in research it has remained in former volume, and at 10 % even has a little increased.

The last are represented by players who managed to avoid accumulation of the big credit loading.

Now they aspire to strengthen the positions in the market (including meaning expansion and consolidation – at the expense of weak players).

In these companies continue to develop IT Infrastructures counting upon fast growth, and also to introduce necessary for business ON. From those respondents who has fixed IT Budget reduction, approximately at 13 % its volume was cut almost by half. 8 % have declared even more dramatic recession – on 70 %.

14 % interrogated have informed that the indicator has decreased within 25-40 %. Anna Zajtseva. , the analyst of UK Finam Management, confirms that in the Russian companies reduction of expenses on IT in the majority was spent already after acceptance of the initial budget. In many of them as a result there were long-term projects which have already been started, and also the projects directed on maintenance of current requirements of business, - she speaks. - expenses which have been focused on satisfaction of requirements of development of the company in the long term several years, as a rule, are postponed without day. As a matter of fact, now many comanies work with situational IT Budgets – the management is guided by a situation in economy, being ready how quickly to increase an expense on IT, and to go on their further reduction.

Russia billions have begun to flow from the real estate in solar power

2009-07-20T14:36:00.001-07:00

The group of companies Konti can become the investor of mountwin-chemical industrial complex (GHK), the Krasnoyarsk region located in the city of Zheleznogorsk, the adviser of the general director of the enterprise has told CNews. Victor Gavrilov. At the moment GHK has the form of the federal state enterprise (FGUP) and there is in conducting state corporation a Rosatom. At the same time now in GHK there is a process akcionirovanijа on which termination of the action of the enterprise will pass companies Atomenergoprom (it is created in 2008 for the purpose of consolidation of the state actives in the field of atomic engineering, untied with a war industry). After that Atomenergoprom plans branch creation. The contribution of state corporation to its authorised capital, Gavrilov speaks, there are actions GHK, and group Konti will bring money resources (as the, and extra).

It is expected that Konti in total invests an order 9 mlrd and will receive an action controlling stock in the new company. For the purpose of the business plan statement before creditors the enterprise has reached with administration of Krasnoyarsk region of the arrangement on building LYeP dlinnoyu 70 km for electrical supply GHK and the next enterprises. In press-service Konti at the moment of publication preparation could not answer question CNews. Initially GHK it was created as underground nuclear factory on manufacture weapon plutona. In 90-s' years the enterprise has passed conversion and was reoriented on storage of the irradiated nuclear fuel, development thermal and the electric power, and also manufacture of monocrystal silicon.

In 2008 GHK has started an industrial line of polycrystalline silicon – both versions of silicon are used as raw materials at creation of solar photo cells. At the first stage capacity of a line makes 200 tons/years, the next 1,5 years it will be increased to 2 tys tons/years, and further, at the expense of attraction of means of investors – to 4 tys tons/years. The city of Zheleznogorsk can become one of the main centres of solar power of Russia. The market of solar power is considered perspective, showing 30 % annual growth. In 2008 its volume has made 5,6 MVt, during the current year the European photo-electric association is predicted this indicator at level 6,8MVt, in 2013 – 22,3MVt.

The most part of solar photo cells – 45,2 % - is made on a basis weed - also multicrystal silicon, and last years its deficiency in the market (polysilicon is used also in the semi-conductor industry) is observed.

By estimations Lehman Brothers, in 2007 the world it has been made 40 thousand tons of polysilicon at demand of 55 thousand tons, last year the given indicators have made 55 thousand tons and 65 thousand tons accordingly. However already in the near future the tendency will be replaced also the offer will exceed demand, for example, in 2012 the volume of output is expected at level of 245 thousand tons, and demand – only about 205 thousand tons. In the Soviet union there were some manufactures of polysilicon, but after reorganisation all of them have been closed. GHK became one of the first the Russian factories which have revived manufacture of given raw materials. Except it, last year polysilicon manufacture has been started companies Nitol-Solar in the Irkutsk region (now capacity makes 300 tons/years, by 2010 the exit on level of 3,8 thousand tons/years is expected). In the beginning of year Nitol has obtained from state corporation Rosnano the credit at a rate of 4,5 mlrd rub and guarantees under the credit of Alpha bank at a rate of 3 mlrd Belonging to corporation Renova – Orgsintez factory Himprom in Novocheboksarsk last year has begun line building on polysilicon manufacture, in 2011 its capacity should make 5 thousand tons/years, investments into the project are expected at level of 640 million euro. Himprom and Nitol make not only polysilicon, but also raw materials for it - trihlorsilan whereas GHK buys trihlorsilan from these enterprises. The group of companies Konti specialises on developmente, but the holding already has one active in the field of solar power – the enterprise the Solar wind making solar modules by total capacity 5MVt annually. Gavrilov from GHK hopes on sodanie in group Konti of the vertically-integrated structure (GHK will be responsible for raw materials, the Solar wind - for finished goods) which should raise a production efficiency. However, the basic commodity market will be abroad: as participants of forum Semicom Russia 2009 have converged, in the nearest some years without the state support serious demand for solar power in Russia will not appear.
