- Digital maturity refers to the level of implementation of digital technologies, their integration into business processes, strategic management, and goals at all levels of enterprise and process management.
- The company's digital maturity assessment model includes criteria for the implementation of digitalization tools in 3 dimensions: enterprise management, process management, and general management.
- Despite the decrease in investment activity, the number of manufacturing enterprises using digital technologies is increasing (+11% by the end of 2024 compared to 2022).
- The main barriers to the introduction of digital technologies for 53% of enterprises are still their high cost compared to the benefits of implementation, 49% of enterprises say there is no need to implement them.
- Industrial sectors are reducing IT financing, and the largest investors in 2022, manufacturers of electronics and electrical equipment, have reduced digital budgets by 2 and 6 times in 2024, respectively.
- Against the background of optimizing the total amount of funds invested in IT, the role of an integrated strategic approach to digitalization is growing: in 2024, companies are more likely to develop strategies and monitor their implementation to increase the level of digitalization and maintain enterprise competitiveness; however, more than 70% of companies are still implementing solutions chaotically.
- The growth of digital maturity is ensured in 2024 mainly due to the introduction of critical basic solutions (automated process control systems +3%, ERP +4%), while the spread of more complex solutions remains limited and is the prerogative of solvent companies.
- The Russian ERP solutions market has shown rapid growth (+116% by 2024 compared to 2022), driven by increased demand for domestic solutions due to the departure of foreign vendors. The implementation of ERP in the Russian industrial sector follows mainly two scenarios: companies either develop systems on their own, or buy solutions, refining them to meet their needs.

Development of Data Centers as a challenge for the energy sectors of BRICS+ countries
The research examines how ready the energy systems of BRICS+ countries are to handle the growing loads from data centers (DCs). It focuses on the development of artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies, and other technologies that require ever-increasing amounts of electricity: whether the energy infrastructure keeps pace with this growth and what challenges it creates for the countries in the alliance.
