"Leman substitutes foreign IT solutions with Yandex 360"
Leman PRO Transitions to Yandex 360 for IT Processes and Collaborative Work
Moscow-based retail giant, Leman PRO, smoothy shifts from Microsoft 365's online office and Jira/Confluence services to Yandex 360 for managing its IT processes, knowledge bases, and collaborative work. The company boasts an extensive network of 112 stores, 17 warehouses, and approximately 45,000 employees spread across the country.
Following the suspension of foreign vendor licenses, the switch to the Russian-developed virtual office solution was initiated. The migration from Jira and Confluence to Yandex Tracker took a month, accompanied by full technical support, employee training, and data transfer to the new service from the Russian vendor. The migration to other services was speedier.
The transition to Yandex Disk, an existing data storage backup solution, was accomplished in a single day. Nikolai Knyash, the technological director of Leman Tech - the IT company responsible for building the technological platform for the Leman PRO brand - commented on the preparation and seamless execution of the changes, "This allowed us to continue working without any disruptions."
From that point, Yandex 360 serves as the foundation for managing IT processes, knowledge bases, and collaborative work. The company utilizes the full functionality of Yandex 360's virtual office, including Tracker, Wiki, Disk, Forms, and other business communication tools. Beyond this, the company employs various Yandex technologies for business, such as piloting YandexGPT for generating product cards and automated code testing.
Evaluating their operational resilience using their own internal metric, "Budget of Losses," shows that the replacement of foreign solutions with Russian ones had no significant impact, demonstrating a zero index.
