Strategies of the Enterprise Transition to Russian Computer-Aided Design Systems

Abstract

In modern conditions, the use of foreign engineering software, in particular, computer-aided design systems, is associated with significant difficulties for Russian companies. In this regard, the increasingly widespread transition to domestic software, mandatory for some categories of enterprises according to the order of the Ministry of Digital
Development of the Russian Federation (N 21 of 18.01.2023), should be of a strategic nature. Depending on the
capabilities of enterprises, the specifics of their activities and the purposes of using engineering software, four alternative strategies for the transition from foreign CAD to domestic analogues are proposed.

The strategy of the enterprise transition to Russian automated design systems may imply gradual or one-time implementation of Russian software products, parallel use of various intelligent systems (both domestic and foreign), or use of their individual functions. As part of the strategy’s implementation, it is important to ensure opportunities for interaction with domestic software developers, which will reduce the time required to master it and associated costs, and mitigate potential risks. The success of the adopted strategy for the transition of enterprises to Russian automated design systems will be determined by the features of its implementation at various production stages due to the reduction of the number of errors and optimization of business processes.
