On 18 December 2023, the EU's 12th package of anti-Russian sanctions entered into force, banning the supply of enterprise and industrial process management software, including all ERP, CRM, EDW and other software systems.
The transition period for the termination of legal and contractual relations with Russian companies under contracts already concluded will end on 20 March 2024. For subsidiaries of European companies in Russia, the ban will come into force on 20 June 2024. Therefore, companies should already think about switching to Russian software.
During our event, SCHNEIDER GROUP experts will talk about the legal and technical consequences of the ban, the experience of successful implementation of client projects on the transition to Russian software, as well as answer questions from participants.
