"EAS solutions are becoming crucial for Russian companies to sustain their business growth in times of rapid economic development and political stability. Against a backdrop of healthy EAS market growth, industries such as utilities and retail performed outstandingly and exceeded expectations last year. However, although the situation at present looks positive, the market may be slowed down by the significant lack of implementation resources as Russia continues to experience a serious deficit of skilled IT professionals." – Pyotr Gorodetskiy, Research Analyst, IDC Russia
