Digital Twin for Business: How SILA Union Supports the Technological Transformation of the Country
Digitalization is not just a trend. It's a matter of development under new conditions. And today, we have technologies that truly drive our economy.”
— Elena Silkina, Managing Partner of SILA Union
On the broadcast of the "Technologies for Business" program on the PRO Business TV channel, the developer of leading digital transformation design software, SILA Union, represented by Managing Partner Elena Silkina, shared how this Russian IT vendor is transforming the market, how a new digital ecosystem is emerging in the country, and what role SILA Union’s product and team play in this process.
Today, one of Russia's key IT development priorities is digital transformation, which encompasses two vital aspects — import substitution and digitalization.
Import Substitution
For many years, Russian companies relied on Western software solutions. This was convenient, but posed risks: data leakage, lack of control, unstable support, and no ability to adapt to local business needs.
Today, one of the main goals is achieving full technological sovereignty in IT infrastructure. For domestic vendors, this is a valuable opportunity to grow in the Russian market, functionally replace imported products, and create new innovative solutions that align with local business logic, management culture, and real-world processes.
“We have a huge number of regulatory and guiding documents in our country that emphasize security and the need to work with Russian products. And this is no longer just a preference or a demand — it’s a necessity,” noted Elena.
Digitalization
Digitalization is not just about trends or innovation — it's a foundational component of modern business and economic development. The digitization of data, business processes, and IT architecture enhances company performance, improves product quality, reduces costs, and optimizes internal operations.
All these needs are addressed today by the SILA Union business digitalization platform.
The Future Lies in New Technologies
SILA Union is not just a product. It’s an ecosystem, where each solution is a step toward the country’s digital sovereignty, and every implementation is a building block in the foundation of digital transformation.
What does SILA Union do?
Creates digital twins for businesses
On the SILA Union platform, companies can design and digitize everything — business processes, strategies, IT architecture, risks, KPIs. The result is a living digital “organism” that can be managed continuously.
Helps analyze and optimize processes
With modeled systems, deep analytics can be conducted: where resources are wasted, what risks are unaccounted for, and where true growth points lie.
Migrates companies from foreign solutions to domestic ones — without compromising quality
Among its clients are giants like Gazprom, Lukoil, Rostec, Rosatom, the Accounts Chamber, and dozens more. Each migration is not just software implementation — it's business rethinking.
Builds a talent pipeline for the entire industry
SILA Union collaborates with over 85 universities and schools, trains faculty who pass knowledge to students, and organizes workshops, open days, internships, and job placements.
What is SILA?
“Strength lies in security, functionality, methodology, the people working inside the company, the students learning today, and the schoolchildren who will enter universities and realize their potential professionally. It’s a massive information cube embedded in SILA Union. We wanted to show that domestic products in our country can thrive — and we’re making it happen,” said Elena Silkina.
SILA Union is more than just an IT company. It’s innovation, cutting-edge solutions, and the face of a new technological future.
