SILA Union at CNEWS Forum 2025: real market, live cases and new growth points
In November, CNEWS Forum 2025 gathered one of the densest IT audiences of the fall and became a platform where conversations about technology ceased to be "about the future", but actively affected the "present". Working solutions and technological ideas were discussed here — it was in this environment that SILA Union became a partner of the exhibition and an active participant in the business program of the event.
Busy business environment: negotiations, new contacts and growth points
Since early morning, the forum has been filled with experts, top managers, architects, CIOs, and representatives of the country's largest companies. SILA Union conducted effective negotiations with key market players: the Alfa-Bank team, including the leadership of the IT department, Prodotech, Alutech, Scooter and other industry representatives.
One of the highlights was the new section, the battle between the IT Director and the Director of Information Security at RSHB and Gazpromneft. The format of the discussion immediately set the pace for the forum — sharp, practical, capacious and as close as possible to the real challenges of the industry. The speakers spoke without formality: about conflicts of interest between IT and information security, about stress points in large infrastructure projects, and about how decisions are actually made when the security, speed, and stability of a company's processes are at stake.
AI created together with the business
The main difference from last year was immediately felt: the focus shifted from discussing possible scenarios for the use of artificial intelligence to demonstrating real cases. SILA Union presented its own developments in the field of artificial intelligence application in BPM tools and successful business implementation cases. Sovcombank presented an example of using AI in data processing after the mining process in credit histories. Other companies shared their own practical approaches to implementing AI and automation.
AI tools appeared in close cooperation with customers — on real production, financial and infrastructure projects. Business requests become the starting point, and AI functionality develops exactly where it solves specific tasks: it speeds up design, reduces the labor costs of analysts, helps teams find mistakes faster and make decisions based on facts.
Results: the forum as a source of real challenges and new opportunities
The integration of these developments into the SILA Union solution was a logical continuation of the general trend of the forum — the transition from talking about the prospects of AI to demonstrating working solutions. And it is this approach that arouses the interest of business representatives who are looking for tools that have been tested in a real environment.
Events such as the CNEWS Forum are a place where a real business demand is formed, and technology companies show that they can solve specific market problems. And this is where the space for new contacts, joint projects and the exchange of experience appears.
SILA Union will continue to support dialogue between technology companies and businesses, as well as develop the BPM industry and partnerships that help the market move forward.
CNEWS Forum 2025
The 18th annual CNews Forum 2025: "Information Technologies of Tomorrow" brought together representatives of business, the public sector, IT companies and independent experts. The participants discussed how the informatization of the economy will develop in the coming years.
The program has traditionally been divided into two parts:
– A plenary session with the participation of leading experts on key trends, from digital transformation and import substitution to AI and big data.
– In-session meetings where companies present practical cases, solutions and implementation results.
The purpose of the forum is to create an independent platform for an open discussion of technologies, approaches and challenges faced by business, government and IT suppliers.
SILA Union became a partner of the exhibition and continues to contribute to the development of process digitalization and the promotion of domestic IT solutions.
