Infrastructure of utilities in the country, according to KPI analysts, is worn out, on average, by 60%, while expenditure on modernization, by preliminary estimates, exceeds 9 trillion rubles.

Russian market of geoinformational technologies is rapidly developing. According to industry experts’ estimates, annual market growth rates in 2011–2012 amounted to about 20%. In money terms, the market volume in 2012 reached 1.5 billion dollars. According to preliminary estimates, in 2013 this indicator continued to grow and exceeded 1.7 billion dollars. It should be noted that by growth rates the Russian sector of geoinformational technologies outruns the European one, which grows, on average, by 10–15% a year.

By now as many as 50 projects have already been implemented, four times as many are being implemented and other 60 are being planned.
