For June, 2015 more than 200 subsidiaries and joint ventures are a part of the 1C group. The 1C franchisee network exceeds 6,700 firms. The group's joint ventures include:

Some joint ventures 1C

Part of our business model is joint ventures, there are about 200 of them. In total, they generate more revenue than the central 1C. Previously, we shared shares in legal entities 50/50, now we keep 51% for ourselves, and 49% for our partner, which allows us to fully attribute the success of joint ventures to the group of companies during consolidation under IFRS. At the same time, it is important for us to keep in entrepreneurs a sense of drive and steering in their hands - so that a person understands that this is his business and he is responsible. The role of the central "1C" in the joint venture is the task of a common strategy and the assistance that is necessary for the development of a joint business: money, advice, reputation, technology, space, contacts, access to the sales network.

Boris Nuraliev: Large enterprises are no longer embarrassed to implement "1C", now it's fashionable

Boris Nuraliev also noted that 1C has become fashionable. In this, he sees, among other things, the merit of import substitution. The director of 1C says that on this wave, large holdings have responsible for import substitution, who need to report.

At the same time, Nuraliyev points out, import substitution is not a key factor in choosing 1C solutions by customers in Russia: “in reality, no one will buy our systems just because they are domestic.”

From partner reports on almost 200 cases of choosing 1C ERP solutions instead of foreign ones in the period from 2015 to February 2017, it follows that such factors as the cost of licenses, implementation and maintenance, compliance with functionality, price, availability on the market are in the first place. a large number 1C specialists and partners, said Boris Nuraliev.

The CEO of 1C told TAdviser that large customers do not occupy a very large share in the company's total revenue, since there are still relatively few of them.

At the same time, Nuraliev noted that 1C does not seek to move into the segment of large business: the company aims to cover the entire range of customers, including those small ones that it had not even worked with before. For the latter in 2017, 1C released special application"IP 6%" for delivery tax reporting, he said.

Revenue growth by 3.6%

In 2016 revenue of group of companies "1C" according to TAdviser made 37.300 billion rubles, having increased by 3.6% in relation to 2015. In the ranking at the end of 2016, the 1C group of companies took the 7th line.

Growth of sales of "1C: Enterprise" - 15.5% in rubles, growth of outsourcing

In 2016, the sales volume of the 1C group of companies with subsidiaries, joint ventures and retailers, with the elimination of intra-group turnover increased by 6%, said the founder and director of the company Boris Nuraliev at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in May 2017.

Sales of the key product "1C" in 2016 grew by 15.5%, Nuraliev said. At the same time, sales of licenses grew by 13%, and subscriptions and services - by 18%.

The director of the company also said that in 2016 the volume of sales of services and subscriptions for the first time in the history of 1C exceeded the volume of sales of licenses for 1C: Enterprise software, although the preponderance turned out to be insignificant. The bias towards services and the subscription model is also a global trend.

About 200 companies from 2015 to 2017 chose the 1C ERP solution instead of the "heavy" Western systems of a similar class, brought the data to 1C. The graph below shows that "1C: Enterprise" is receiving more and more implementations in large organizations with a large number of jobs.

1C:Enterprise implementations by number of jobs by years

“We used to offer our clients to automate their accounting, now we can automate their main activities (trade, production) and outsource fiscal accounting: accounting, taxes, payroll,” this is how Boris Nuraliev formulated a fundamentally new vector of movement for his company.

He recalled that 1C today is not only a leading developer, but also a recognized expert in the very subject area of ​​accounting, including having developed a standard for the provision of accounting services. For several years now, the company has been developing two such outsourcing projects: 1C: Accounting Service (for small businesses) and 1C: Outsourcing, while developing a new partner network based on a well-established franchising model.

In 2016, among the leading suppliers of enterprise management information systems (ERP, etc.) on Russian market 1C takes the second place with a share of 32.9%. Compared to 2015, it added 0.2%. The leader here is still SAP with a share of 49%. Microsoft has 8.8%, Oracle has 4%, Galaxy has 2.2%. Other players account for 3.2%.

Commenting in part on the modest increase in 1C's market share, despite the government's announced course for import substitution, Boris Nuraliev, head of 1C, emphasized that the study takes into account money in Russian currency.

“We have ruble prices, and in order to even just keep our share, we have to significantly increase sales in pieces,” he says.

1C became a co-owner of Quick Resto

In August 2016, 1C became part of the owners of the Quick Resto group of companies, having bought out a controlling stake. The details of the deal are in a separate article:

2013

1C is going to conquer foreign countries

1C develops and prepares for launch affiliate program for the international partners working outside the CIS countries, the founder and the director of 1C reported in the middle of June, 2013 Boris Nuraliev.

As part of new program 1C is ready to provide them with development tools, technical support and encourage partners to create their own products based on the 1C:Enterprise platform, as well as to promote them on international market he added.

It should be noted that work in a number of countries far abroad"1C" has been leading for several years. For example, since 2005 there has been an official representative office of the company in Germany, which, through partners, provides customers with services for the development of custom business applications based on 1C:Enterprise, licensing, installation and maintenance of 1C products in Europe.

Other countries outside the CIS, where the company has partners and representative offices, are Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Turkey and Vietnam on the 1C website. The 1C:Enterprise interface as of June 2013 is available in 14 languages, in addition to Russian. The latest languages ​​added were Azerbaijani and Chinese.

At the same time, 1C has not yet announced the sales indicators of its platform outside the CIS. Boris Nuraliev only notes that so far, 1C has been working in the markets of far abroad “pointwise”: there has not yet been a global expansion and large investments in this direction.

"Firm 1C was successful on the territory of the former USSR due to two things: on the one hand, this is really good software, and on the other hand, we built a business approach that had not been used in Russia before, due to a good understanding of the local market" - says Boris Nuraliev.

The 1C strategy in Russia and the CIS countries is based on working through a partner network. As of June 2013, it has more than 6.5 thousand franchisees. However, the model that made 1C successful in these markets will most likely not work in the same way in the international market, 1C believes. Now the company is thinking about various possible models of work with partners in the far abroad.

1C will switch to electronic document management with partners

From the 3rd quarter of 2013, 1C plans to offer all partners of the 1C: Franchising network a transition to a legally significant electronic document management, said the founder and director of the company Boris Nuraliev. The corresponding information letter, according to him, is in the process of preparation.

Such a workflow, so far - in a test mode, "1C" has been implementing since mid-2012, exchanging acts for the provision of services and invoices with franchisees and distributors. It is planned to extend it to the conclusion of contracts.

In October 2011, amendments to Art. 54 of the Civil Code (“Commercial concession”), which regulate the use of franchising relations in Russia. In accordance with them, the franchisor has the opportunity to set a number of restrictions on partners: for example, to require from them a certain level of quality of goods and services associated with its brand and certification of employees.

After the change in the law, 1C began renegotiating agreements with franchisees: instead of information support agreements, it became necessary to conclude a concession agreement to connect to the network.

The conclusion of contracts is carried out through the 1C CRM system: partners submit an application for new contracts through a web interface, after which it is reviewed and approved by the partner department. After that, a PDF file with an agreement is automatically generated and sent to the partner, which he signs, stamps and sends both copies to 1C for signature. According to 1C, since 2011, about 34 thousand contracts and additional contracts have been concluded in this way. agreements.

“According to our estimates, the growth in the number of new customers of this solution in 2012 amounted to more than 50%. The next version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV, on the localization of which we are working today, will be available in the traditional model (installation in our own infrastructure), and as a cloud service based on Windows Azure,” Microsoft told TAdviser.

1C buys Megaplan

In March 2012, it became known that 1C acquired 51% of Megaplan. The investor of the first round, the IQ ONE fund (the main beneficiary is Ulvi Kasimov), retained a blocking stake in Megaplan following the deal. The investment agency StartupIndex was involved in organizing and structuring the deal.

The investments received will strengthen the development of the product line and expand marketing budget, the parties said in a statement.

The plans for 2012 include a 6-fold increase in Megaplan's revenue compared to 2011. The parties expect that strategic cooperation will allow for closer integration of Megaplan's products with accounting and management decisions 1C and, as a result, offer partners and users new services and opportunities.

Alexander Volchek, CEO Megaplana says that the conclusion of a deal with 1C gives the company unique opportunities for the development and promotion of products:

"We are witnessing a real revolution in the market of cloud services for small and medium-sized businesses. We expect that the investments received and reaching a new level of cooperation with 1C will allow us to implement our ambitious plans - to grow faster than this rapidly developing market."

During 2011, Megaplan implemented a number of strategic initiatives: in addition to products for organizing collaboration and task management, a line of CRM solutions was launched, representative offices were opened in Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and free products for small companies were announced.

Earlier, 1C became a co-owner of another cloud service - MySklad. 1C received funds for the acquisition of new assets through the sale of a share to the investment fund Baring Vostok.

The share of "1C" in the ERP market decreased for the first time in 9 years

"IN technological platform"1C:Enterprise 8.2" is already implementing functionality designed to use the system's solutions as "cloud" services provided via the Internet, including the SaaS model. With this in mind, we are working on various options to improve our business model, which is based on reliance on a wide partner network. The creation of a joint venture with the founders of Lognex will allow using the experience of the successful MySklad SaaS project for the further development of both our technologies and solutions, and the business of our partners."

Stop sales 1C:Enterprise 7.7

For comparison, a year earlier, the growth of "1C" was 20%. Revenue "1C" includes sales of the entire group, taking into account the results of subsidiaries, joint ventures and retail businesses. Intra-group turnover is not included in the result of the company's work.

Absolute values ​​\u200b\u200bin 1C are not called. According to CNews Analytics, in 2010 the company's revenue amounted to $608 million (18.4 billion rubles). Accordingly, in 2011 the group expects to earn over $814 million.

Sales growth of the 8th version of "1C: Enterprise" in 2011, according to Boris Nuraliev, amounted to 74.5% in dollars (67.9% in rubles). Since version 7.7 products were removed from the price list back in July 2011 and the share of version 8 reached 94%, we can say that this figure roughly reflects the dynamics of sales of enterprise management products as a whole.

1C is consistently updating its software to work under the rental scheme. According to Nuraliyev, the total revenue from sales of software as a service over the past months of 2011 reached 21.5 million rubles.

• For the first nine months of 2011, revenue from sales of the 1C: Enterprise system in dollars exceeded the level of the same period in 2010 by 78.7%, said 1C representative Alexei Kharitonov.

2010: Sharp growth of sales after crisis

Financial indicator 1C names only one - the dynamics of changes in turnover, which in 2010 added 20%. In 2010, the total turnover of the 1C group amounted to $608 million, RIA Novosti reported at the end of September, citing company materials (this estimate was confirmed to Vedomosti by a manager close to the participants in the transaction).

1C does not disclose data total revenue. According to CNews Analytics, in 2010 the holding's turnover amounted to 18.4 billion rubles, which is 15% more than a year earlier. In 2010, 1C for the first time got into the rating of the largest software developers in Europe, prepared by PwC, and took 59th place in it with an indicator of 65 million euros.

Acquisition of Buka and Avalon Style Entertainment

• On July 17, 2008, 1C officially announced the purchase of Buka, a Russian game developer, 52.9% of which was owned by investment funds Finam - Information Technologies (26.5%) and Norum (26.4%). Analysts then estimated the cost of Buka at $75-85 million. Buka was not integrated into the 1C structure and retained its name and team. Among the reasons why it was decided to buy Buka, 1C called the general trends of consolidation in the Russian gaming market, the unification of strong development teams.

• On October 30, 2008, 1C announced the completion of a deal to acquire a stake in Avalon Style Entertainment, a well-known Russian developer, creator of one of the most popular and successful domestic series of car simulators, All-Wheel Drive. As commented in the company, the signed agreement was another step aimed at strengthening the position of 1C as the largest Russian publisher, developer and distributor of computer games.

Shareholders meeting defines new strategy

In the spring of 2008, the meeting of 1C shareholders decided that the company should follow the path of creating a diversified holding company that occupies a leading position in the software market in the CIS. The company agreed with the slogan "Get big - Or get niche - Or get out" (Get big - or become niche - or get out) and made a choice in favor of growth.

“The strategy for creating a large enterprise is a matter of ambition,” says Boris Nuraliev, head of 1C. “We want to build a large, stable, efficient corporation that is competitive with other giants, including foreign ones.”

If earlier "1C" preferred to solve all the tasks itself, today the basic principle of the company is formulated as "Rely on one's own strength and cooperation with leaders." As a result, around a strong parent company, a group of joint companies is created, strong and / or promising in their market sectors. software. It is this model that 1C considers optimal at the current stage of consolidation of the IT market in Russia.

Many business areas that were previously part of the parent company 1C have been merged into subsidiaries and joint ventures:

• development, publication and sale of games - in the joint venture "1C: SoftClub";
• the retail direction, including 47 stores, in 1C:Interes, etc.

This led to a reduction in the parent company's revenue and the real state of affairs is now reflected in the aggregate indicators of the group of companies.

1C creates companies with varying degrees of participation, but the most effective was the joint ownership model, where the company is managed by a co-owner, not a hired manager. According to Boris Nuraliev, joint companies are more profitable than branches and show more efficient business growth in general. That is why in Lately the company is trying to transfer its subsidiaries into joint ventures. The cumulative growth in sales of subsidiaries and joint companies of the 1C holding for the first five months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 amounted to 27%.

Subsidiaries and joint companies of the holding are established with different shares of ownership. Recently, a scheme is more often used in which 1C controls 51%, and the partner - 49%. In the first six months of 2011 alone, 7 new subsidiaries and joint ventures were established. The total number of joint ventures exceeds one hundred. Among them are companies in the Netherlands, Hungary, Bulgaria, Germany, Latvia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, Moldova, China, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, Vietnam.

1C recognizes that the chosen model does not correspond to Western theory.

“Everything that we have done the best does not exactly correspond to Western patterns,” says Boris Nuraliev. - There is no such franchise anywhere in the world information technologies. None major country there is no such share of one accounting product. Nowhere in the segment of integrated ERP systems is there an increase in the share of a local supplier due to a decrease in the share of international vendors.

For rapid growth, it is also planned to use the attraction of additional capital through the placement of shares on the stock exchange (10-20%). According to the company's representatives, according to the results of 2011, an international audit is expected. To be admitted to an IPO, this procedure must be carried out three years in a row, so the placement can take place no earlier than 2014. Among the disadvantages of publicity in the company include greater openness of the business, less flexibility and more complex mechanisms for making business decisions social responsibility company, as well as the possibility of uniting a team of employees and partners through their possible transition to the status of 1C shareholders. Now many people would like to become co-owners of the company, but there is still no mechanism acceptable to everyone.

1994: First franchise agreements

• In parallel, 1C developed its partner network. Instead of opening huge amount branches, the company settled on a franchising model. The first pilot franchise agreements were signed in mid-1994. At that time, there were about 50 companies in the experimental group, while the number of dealers exceeded 600. Along the way, the company was developing the 1C:Enterprise software system, with an architecture oriented towards a high degree of adaptability.

• 1994 - Start of development of "1C: Accounting 6.0" for Windows

• 1995 - Release of "1C: Accounting 6.0" for Windows. The number of staff was 65 people.

• 1996 - Release of the platform "1C:Enterprise 7.0".

• In the summer of 1996, the first product of the system, 1C: Trade, was released, and as a result, by the end of the year, the number of franchisees increased to 414. In the same 1996, 1C began developing and selling computer games.

• In 2007, the first release of the 1C: Consolidation program was released.

1992: Release of the program "Mini-Accounting"

• The idea to create an accounting program arose in 1992. Then the accounting in the new company was in charge of Boris Nuraliev's brother - Sergey Nuraliev, who was professionally engaged in the automation of accounting operations. It was he who developed the workstation of the chief accountant of the 1C company. This product in April 1992, it was presented at the Komtek exhibition and aroused unusually high interest from enterprises. "Miniaccounting 1C", unlike traditional computer programs, was a fairly easy-to-install "boxed" solution that provided the ability to replicate, which quickly made it popular in the business environment.

• 1993 - Release of the program "Accounting for DOS"

1991: Creation of 1C company

With the approval of the institute's management and the consent of Nuraliev, part of the activity began to be carried out on behalf of the 1C company established in 1991.

Initially, "1C" was the name of its own search program: no more than 1C (seconds) was required to obtain the required information. The choice of the name of the company turned out to be extremely successful - in any reference book or exhibition catalog, "1C" has always been in the first place. In addition, "s" is the only key on the keyboard whose spelling in Cyrillic and Latin is the same.

In 1991, a network of dealers was created for the implementation of "Lotus 1−2−3 version 2.2 Russian"

1987-1990: Goskomstat. background

Since 1987 - Boris Nuraliev worked at the design institute of the State Statistics Committee, where he held the position of head of the self-supporting department. Even then, Nuraliev, together with his team, created a system with queries in natural language, similar to modern search engines, as part of an order to create a database of statistical indicators. National economy Soviet Union. Then two acquaintances of Nuraliev - Vadim Rappoport and Yuri Krichiver developed a device, which they called "electronic teletype". In fact, it was a means for connecting an IBM-compatible computer to telegraph communication networks, which were in abundance in those years. Nuraliev himself wrote a program for the device. As a result, about 6 thousand such devices were sold.

The next step towards the creation of the company was the signing of a contract for the distribution of Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets by Nuraliev's self-supporting department. At first glance, this task seemed impossible: in 1990, the distribution of the program cost about $500 dollars, while the average salary in the country was about $12. However, enterprises had the means, as well as the need for modern software tools accounting and analysis, which at that time were spreadsheets. In addition, the successful sales of the electronic teletype helped Nuraliev's team build up a partner base. The self-supporting department became the most profitable at the institute. It was then that the company "1C" appeared.

Principles of operation of the company "1C"

In 1C, the following unified corporate principles works:

• Focus on meeting the real needs of the mass user.
• Work profitably.
• To be a reliable and profitable partner, treat partners, end users and employees honestly.
• Work well, make and sell products better than competitors.
• Rely on your own strength and on cooperation with leaders.
• Study someone else's experience, but think with your own head.

Software development

"1C" supplies from its warehouse a wide range of programs for office and home, currently numbering more than 10,000 items. Of the own developments of 1C, the most famous programs of the 1C: Enterprise system, as well as products for home computers and the educational sector.

Boris Nuraliev: biography

The creator of the 1C company was born on July 18, 1958 in the capital of Russia - Moscow. While studying at the institute, Boris Nuraliev began to study in the research laboratory at the university. At the age of 22, he graduated with honors from the Moscow Institute of Economics and Statistics, where he remained to work by distribution. After completing his postgraduate studies, Nuraliev received the title of Candidate of Economic Sciences and became a specialist in automating the design of systems for machine processing of economic information.

At first, Nuraliev served as an engineer at MESI, after which he became. After 7 years, he worked at the design institute NIPIstatinform of the USSR State Statistics Committee, where at first he was a senior researcher, rose to the head of the sector, after which he became the head of the department. A little later, he held the position of chief engineer. In 1990, due to a conflict situation, the department headed by Boris Georgievich stopped receiving government orders. After that, his employees began to write programs for the electronic teletype. The resulting work was somewhat reminiscent of a chat, but the connection was carried out using a telephone line.

Boris Nuraliev is a Tatar by nationality. He is married and has three children.

Memories from the creator's childhood

When Boris Georgievich Nuraliev was a small child, his dad showed him an impressive size computer M-20. The capabilities of this device were quite modest by modern standards, but the huge size struck the child's imagination, leaving a bright indelible impression that determined the fate and main thing in the life of Boris Georgievich.

The computing machine, according to Nuraliev's memoirs, occupied an entire floor. Light bulbs were burning everywhere, and specialists in white coats approached the massive control panel with a serious look. The future founder of the company seemed to have spied a picture from future life, having decided for himself that working with such a huge and complex technique is a true vocation!

Accounting program "1C"

Employees of the department, headed by Boris, signed an agreement on the distribution of the well-known Lotus 1-2-3 program at that time, which resembles the current Excel. A year later, with the aim of reselling Western computer programs, the 1C company was created and officially established. In 1992, the first program for accountants "1C" was published, which was written by Boris's brother, Sergey. After 2 years, the company began developing a franchise program and the 1C: Enterprise system.

When the 1C company was just beginning its formation on the market, the methods and projects of the founder's work caused general bewilderment among the business communities of that time. The partners did not understand the purpose of creating a dealer network and why share it with partners, if you can take almost everything for yourself. But Nuraliev, using the experience of foreign IT companies, in spite of everything, was the first in Russia to be able to build a business of his own line of consulting on the model of the West.

While the 1C company was beginning to develop, its creator made a discovery, which was that the boxes with his software product needed to be replaced. Before that they were in black and white, and it was difficult to notice them in a shop window. The talented and enterprising Nuraliev changed the color of the packaging to yellow-red, which ensured a huge increase in sales. The software after the changes began to diverge by 300 copies every month, which was an excellent indicator for a start-up company.

Leadership principles

In the management of 1C, Nuraliev tries to adhere to the following principles of work:

• strictly focus on meeting the needs of the mass consumer;
• always work profitably;
• listen to someone else's experience, but rely on your own strength;
• think with your own head;
• work perfectly, produce and sell quality software many times better than competing organizations;
• be reliable, responsible, and profitable partner. Be honest with partners, end users, colleagues and employees.

According to the statistics of numerous surveys, 1C is in first place in the software sector of the CIS computer industry, and also occupies a leading position among the programs sold. The firm is an official distributor for 70 foreign and domestic manufacturers software.

It is thanks to the activities of Boris Nuraliev that modern accountants do not remember how to count in a column. Through the implementation of the 1C program, namely the ability to use the 1C: Bitrix function.

The activities of Nuraliyev's company do not end with the development of programs for reputable institutions. Employees led by the director also take care of the diversity of the country's gaming market. Thus, the following developments became successful: the simulator "IL-2 Sturmovik", the role-playing game "Prince", as well as "Dungeon Orderlies".

Achievements of the founder of the company

Nuraliev Boris Georgievich "1C" created and became the permanent head of the company. On this moment there are no people who are not familiar with the brand. For the simple reason that knowledge of this program is necessary for almost every person working in the field of sales.

In 1999, Boris Georgievich Nuraliev was honored with gratitude by the President of Russia - Boris Yeltsin - for his invaluable contribution to the implementation of the government program regarding the reform of accounting and financial reporting.

In 2002 received the Government Prize Russian Federation in science and technology.

Boris Georgievich Nuraliev has been ranked among the most authoritative personalities in the computer business of the Russian Federation more than once. No one doubts that a talented leader who heads the 1C company will be able to teach a lot and demonstrate more than one software product that will become in demand outside the mighty power.

The development of 1C Enterprise is an amazing process lasting about 15 years. During this time, the 1C platform has undergone several global rebirths and many changes. I propose today in the publication to consider the process of evolution of the 1C Enterprise platform from its inception to the present.

The emergence of 1C Enterprise on the market

1C Enterprise begins its history in 1991, when 1C began releasing its first versions of accounting configurations. These were DOS versions of programs that made it possible to generate accounting entries when entering documents and allowed working in multi-user mode. The program was noticed, began to be used, and this gave rise to the development of the 1C platform in the future.

The first sales of 1C Enterprise configurations for the Windows system began in 1995, when users switched from Windows 3.X to Windows 95. This was the 1C Accounting 6.0 configuration, which could make accounting entries when posting documents and had an improved graphical interface. At that time, it was a revolutionary tool that gained popularity among accountants and became very famous in the economic software market.

Development of 1C Enterprise - release of the 1C Enterprise 7.7 platform

The next stage in the development of the 1C platform is the release of the 1C Enterprise 7.7 platform in 1999. Prior to this, intermediate versions were released, but this version of the platform is the final implementation of the intended functionality. If before this, 1C configurations were created exclusively for accounting, then with this version of the platform, the functionality of the released 1C configurations has expanded. There are new configurations focused on other areas of application, such as "1C Trade and Warehouse" for accounting warehouse activities, "1C Salary and personnel management" for the calculation wages, "1C Production accounting services" for accounting automation manufacturing enterprises and etc.

As for the technical equipment of the platform, the programming language has been significantly changed, improved functionality has been added, and system requirements for working with the program have been optimized.

1C Enterprise data objects appeared in the platform, using which it became possible to develop accounting systems. 1C data objects - became the basis of the 1C platform, which distinguished it from other programming languages. In the process of platform evolution, the number of data objects and their functionality expanded with the release of each new version of 1C Enterprise.

The proposed configurations have become popular with both small organizations and large enterprises. But since the released configurations of 1C Enterprise 7.7 could not take into account all the nuances of the work of enterprises, for many companies there was a need to refine them for their business processes. This provoked a massive need for 1C programmers who could implement the functionality necessary for the operation of the enterprise in the proposed basic 1C configurations.

To meet these needs, 1C began to create a regional network of franchisees, in which specialists were recruited who wanted to learn programming in the 1C environment, study the functionality of typical 1C configurations for further refinement of 1C configurations to meet the needs of customers. The profession of a 1C Enterprise programmer has become one of the most sought after in the labor market and, accordingly, one of the very well paid. This trend continues to the present.

Issue 1C Enterprise 8.0 in development 1C Enterprise

The development of 1s enterprise continued in 2002, in which it was released a new version platforms 1C Enterprise 8.0. In this version, the interface has become even more friendly, not inferior to other Windows office applications. Functionally, new configuration objects were added, programming language functions were changed, and the query language was expanded. One of the advanced changes was the appearance of a reporting mechanism. It became possible to generate 1C reports from the data compiled by the request, and not only by programming tools. This improved the overall visualization of 1C reports and their functionality - in reports based on SKD, easily created transcripts, grouping, selection, formatting mechanisms appeared.

In versions 1C Enterprise 8, the licensing system has become more flexible. 1C Enterprise 7.7 security keys had a material carrier and were divided into single-user and multi-user, while an unlimited number of users could work in multi-user versions. Server keys also gave access to an unlimited number of users to server databases. The restrictions were of a technical nature related to the capacity of the equipment where the 1C bases were installed. In versions 1C Enterprise 8.0, this concept has changed - 1C keys have become individual for a specific number of users. In addition, 1C licenses began to be offered in two forms - in the form of a flash drive (hardware licenses) and in the form of pin codes (software licenses). You can read more about the licensing system in the article.

Further development of 1C Enterprise 8.x

In 2006, version 1C Enterprise 8.1 was released, which was an improved version of its predecessor.

In 2009, a new platform 1C Enterprise 8.2 was released, which implemented a new evolutionary functionality - there was a division into client and server procedures. If earlier all 1C procedures were server-based and performed by the resources of the systems on which they were installed, then in this version it became possible to determine where to perform procedures and functions - on the server or on the client. This made it possible to offload low-power user computers by performing heavy operations on the server and transfer the result of the execution to client computers for visualization.

The division of procedures and functions into client and server ones made it possible to implement the work of 1C Enterprise via the Internet. To do this, you need to publish the 1C database on a web server and give access through a web browser or through a platform on a 1C thin client.

At the same time, the 1C configuration interface has become much more pleasant, many user functions for working with list forms and 1C object forms have expanded, user interface settings have appeared, changes have been made in better side presentation of menus and reporting output forms.

Release 1C Enterprise 8.3 in the development of 1C Enterprise

In 2012, a trial version of 1C Enterprise 8.3 was released, in which the development of 1C Enterprise continued. Integration with various Web-technologies has become the main direction of expanding the functionality of the platform. The platform has the ability to develop mobile applications, mechanisms for working with http have expanded, new mechanisms for integrating with the web and applications have appeared. Also, it became possible to fully work with Linux systems. These technologies continue to evolve to this day.

Another significant difference of the released platform was the creation of a modern data presentation mode "Taxi". When this mode is activated, the program control functions are organized into subsystems, making the visualization of the application more pleasant and logical. This technology of arrangement of functional blocks is used to this day.

Development of 1C Enterprise today

To date, the development of 1s enterprise has not been completed. More recently, the company announced the release of 1C Enterprise 8.4. The main direction of platform development is the optimization of the work of highly loaded 1C configurations and the development of Web technologies.

I forgot to mention another interesting development - 1C: Enterprise Development Tools, the purpose of which is to abandon the 1C platform. Surprised? This development began as soon as it became possible to publish the 1C database on a web server. It is a set of scripts for working with 1C Enterprise data through a browser without using the 1C platform. Here is such a promising direction for the development of the 1C system with a very distant aim ...

Summarizing what has been said, I make an unequivocal conclusion that today the 1C Enterprise platform has the full range of functions necessary for the operation of a modern application:

• supports client-server architecture;
• has the ability to integrate with other applications and websites according to all currently known standards;
• remote work with databases via the Internet;
• it is possible to write mobile applications;
• full work on Windows and Linux systems.

And this is only a superficial assessment. If you dig deeper, you will find many other diamonds of the 1C platform that make it competitive both on the Russian market and abroad.

Development of 1C Enterprise - platform evolution

According to various estimates, from 50 to 70 percent of accounting departments in Russia work on the software of the 1C company. Some people like these programs, some don't, but the fact that 1C:Accounting is the most used accounting program in the country is a fact.

Boris NURALIEV, founder and permanent head of the 1C company, does not recognize ties, business suits at all, prefers the chaos of a computer room to silence personal account. This man with the appearance of the head of a laboratory in the mid-80s is one of the most successful people in the country. He managed to build the largest company in the CIS software industry, leading in terms of the number of programs created and sold and the size of the dealer network. The multimedia business of 1C works like clockwork, proving with obviousness that the Russian land can give birth to its own Bill Gates.

Boris Georgievich Nuraliev was born on July 18, 1958 in Moscow. In 1980 he graduated with honors from the Moscow Institute of Economics and Statistics (MESI) with a degree in Automated systems Management, Candidate of Economic Sciences, specialist in automation of designing systems for machine processing of economic information. Since 1980, he worked at MESI as an engineer, then as a junior researcher. Since 1987, he worked at VNIPIuchet of the Central Statistical Bureau of the USSR (now NIPIstatinform of the State Statistics Committee of the Russian Federation) as a senior researcher, head of a sector, head of a department, chief engineer.

They say about Boris Nuraliyev that he is an unusually lucky person - he managed to create such a company, has the gift of foresight, and that all his undertakings are simply doomed to success. But this is now, when these same undertakings have already been implemented and the results are visible. In fact, many of his projects caused frank misunderstanding on the part of the market.

It can be said that Boris Nuraliev began to make non-standard decisions from the beginning of the creation of a small 1C enterprise for the sale of boxed software products. The first was Lotus 1-2-3. Then no one was doing it. At customs, a batch of unusual goods was taken for washing powder and therefore they were vigilantly guarded - the powder in those years was in great short supply.

The next non-standard move was the decision to engage in distribution and build their own distribution network. At that time, many did not understand why share profits with someone else.

When, in the next 1992, 1C launched on the market own product 1C: Accounting and began to promote it through the already existing partner network, many again wondered: why develop something when you can make money on what others have created.

They did not understand Boris Nuraliev even in 1995, when the first franchising community in the Russian software market was created. Now this project is considered one of the most successful, but no other domestic IT company has yet been able to create something like this. In 1998-1999, when after the crisis, many companies not only cut staff, but simply closed, Nuraliev spoke about the need to expand implementation centers, put their work on an industrial basis, and give industry solutions to partners for development.

The 1C implementers successfully survived the August crisis, and, according to some estimates, the volume of the franchisee's business for the implementation of 1C: Enterprise programs in 1998 amounted to approximately $ 100 million.

Of course, it is not possible to do everything that one would like, but, according to Boris Nuraliev, what the company is already doing is not worse, and in some cases even better than most. According to numerous surveys, the 1C company with a staff of 220 people, relying solely on its own resources, ranks first in the IT market sector in the territory of the former USSR.

The company is the official distributor of more than 70 foreign and domestic software manufacturers. Of the developments of 1C, the most famous are:

1C: Accounting is the best-selling program in the CIS, used by more than 400,000 companies; system integrated automation 1C:Enterprise; a series of training programs 1C: Tutor; games (Prince, IL-2), encyclopedias, other programs for home and office.

Based on the results of independent research and press ratings, Boris Nuraliev has been repeatedly recognized as one of the most authoritative personalities in the computer business in Russia (DATOR Top100, TOP PROFI, Laminfo ratings).

For his great contribution to the implementation of the government program to reform the accounting and financial reporting of the Russian Federation, Boris Georgievich was awarded the gratitude of the President of the Russian Federation B. N. Yeltsin in 1999, in 2000 - the Chairman State Duma Russian Federation G. N. Seleznev.

Authorized certification centers within the framework of the new program "1C: Professional" certify users of "1C: Accounting" for official confirmation of high qualifications, experience and skills in working with the most common accounting program in Russia and the CIS. 1C service partners provide regular information technology support for 1C:Enterprise programs at users' workplaces. Distributors in the regions allow software product dealers not to waste time and money on delivering programs from Moscow, but to devote themselves entirely to their main business - full-fledged end-user service. And finally, 1C: Multimedia - Association of stores working in the field retail sales programs for home computers, numbering more than 190 outlets in 70 cities of the former USSR.

History of 1C

The founders and owners of 1C are two brothers Boris and Sergey Nuraliyev. Boris used to work in the system of the Central Statistical Bureau of the USSR. In the mid-1980s, he headed a department that developed a program that made it possible to extract information from the huge databases of the CSO using queries in some pseudo-natural language. The system was created and then adapted for personal computers. Moreover, it was guaranteed that the system gives an answer to the question asked in no more than one second, which is why it was called "1C", or rather "1C system information service". This program was in demand by more than a hundred enterprises to build telecommunications commercial networks. Later, the company was also named after the system.

Here came a decisive moment in the history of the company from the point of view of Boris Nuraliev. Studying the literature about the structure of the software business in the West, he decides to invest the money he earns in the distribution of ready-made programs, and for this purpose he decides to create an extensive distribution network. Initially (since February 1991), the company began to sell foreign software product "Lotus 1-2" in Russia -3", super popular at that time in the West and little known in Russia. "Lotus 1-2-3" is a spreadsheet that competes with the more common Microsoft Excel.

Then, after analyzing what customers use Lotus for, Boris Nuraliev makes the second strategic decision - to develop an accounting program and launch it into the distribution network (for sale). By that time, there were already "Sail", "Infin", "Infobuhgalter", "Turbobuhgalter", "Finance without problems" and others on the market of accounting programs. However, the manufacturers of these programs did not have such a powerful sales network as 1C, and this gave the latter a chance.

The accounting program was developed by Boris Nuraliev's brother Sergey Nuraliev. It was the DOS version. It was weaker than many other competing programs, but it had one decisive advantage, which decided the outcome of the dispute in its favor: it had a built-in macro programming language that allowed a lot of things to be added, reprogrammed. The program could be adapted to the specific conditions of a given enterprise, and marketers (distributors) could act not only as sellers, but also as implementers, receiving additional money. The program gave work to many unemployed programmers.

In 1997, Nuraliev decided to cover not only accounting, but also other areas of the enterprise, which was implemented in the 1C: Enterprise product. A universal tool for automating various tasks was created. The 1C:Enterprise 7.0 system was built on a completely new ideology, maintaining continuity with 1C:Accounting 6.0. It was from version 7.0 that 1C embarked on the path of an object-oriented system, which greatly simplified the life of programmers. There are versions 1C:Enterprise 7.5 and 1C:Enterprise 7.7. A universal tool environment for developing accounting applications was created. This decision brought 1C to absolute leadership in the field of domestic products for automating the work of small and medium-sized businesses.
