According to
unconfirmed information , a joint press conference of
1C and
Bitrix companies will be held on March 3, 2007 at the Cosmos Hotel (Moscow), at which a joint venture will be set up (perhaps a merger of companies). Invitations for journalists began to come yesterday, February 27th. Official representatives of "1C" and "Bitrix" have not yet commented on this fact, but the company "Bitrix"
has already registered the domain
1c-bitrix.ru .
Since the spring of 2006, Bitrix’s expert valuation has increased tenfold, from $ 500,000 to $ 5 million. It is easy to guess that with such growth rates it is a very profitable investment object.
The merger of "1C" and "Bitrix" can have a strong impact on the Russian market of content management systems (CMS). As you know, “1C” is the actual monopolist in the market of accounting software. This means that the CMS “Bitrix” becomes the de facto standard for any site through which the financial flows go, one way or another displayed in the accounting department.
