Russian software exporters benefit from a weaker ruble
Exports of Russian software in 2014 grew by 10% to $ 5.7 billion. Software exporting companies have benefited from the strengthening of the dollar: their expenses have remained in rubles, and their income is pegged to the dollar, Vedomosti writes . During 2014, the dollar strengthened by 73% against the ruble - it rose from 32.6 to 56.6 rubles.
The global software market is evolving in accordance with five trends: mobility, “clouds”, social networks, big data and rapid adaptation of solutions. In 2013, its volume, according to Gartner, was $ 407 billion, 4.8% higher than 2013.
The volume of software exports from Russia in 2012 grew by 15%, in 2013 - by 13%. In 2014, growth slowed down and amounted to 10% - to $ 5.7 billion, but RUSSOFT predicts its increase by 18-20% in 2015 to $ 6.7–7 billion
The competitiveness of Russian software manufacturers has increased due to the change in the dollar against the ruble. In case of ruble expenses on the salaries of the company's employees, they receive income in dollars, which increases the efficiency of enterprises. The change in the rate did not affect the producers from Belarus and Ukraine, since the salaries of the developers in these countries are tied to the US currency.

President of NP RUSSOFT Valentin Makarov noted one of the problems of the Russian IT industry: in 2014, from 3% to 5% of specialists left the country. Western companies directly hire Russian programmers and withdraw their development centers from the country.
Natalia Danina, head of the research of salaries, compensations and benefits HeadHunter, says that the IT industry is almost the only one where salaries grow. Companies raise salaries to keep employees.
