PhosAgro launched the Global ERP import-substituting resource management system into pilot production on March 3, 2026.

Cherepovets (Vologda Region). On March 2, 2026, PhosAgro launched the Global ERP import-substituting resource management system into pilot production. This domestically produced solution replaces its foreign counterpart for automating production and sales processes for finished products, as well as calculating their cost.

Previously, Oracle's imported OEBS R12 system was used for these purposes, but in 2022, its developer unilaterally discontinued technical support for its product in Russia. This decision forced large industrial enterprises to begin developing their own software alternative.

With support from the Skolkovo Foundation, specialists from Apatit JSC (part of the PhosAgro Group), Business Technologies (the vendor of the Global ERP system), and the domestic integrator Filosofiya IT took on this ambitious task. In September 2024, the combined team began work on the project, which was deemed of particular significance for the entire Russian industry.

During the first phase, project office specialists migrated three key modules related to production, sales, and product costing at Apatit JSC to Global ERP. This work was completed by the end of last year, and the system was officially accepted for pilot operation at the enterprise on January 1, 2026.

"For three months—until the end of March—we'll be monitoring all system parameters, fine-tuning them, collecting user feedback, and providing enhanced technical support. The system will then be handed over to the customer and accepted for production operation," said Andrey Nisanov, Director of the Project Office Department of the IT Directorate at Apatit JSC. "At the same time, my team and I are working on implementing other important modules, expanding the system's functionality and capabilities. Our ultimate goal is to completely transition away from the Oracle system."

The new system's effectiveness is clearly demonstrated by the statistical data. While monthly product cost calculations previously took at least eight hours, using the domestic solution, January's calculation took about one hour. According to the project office's specialists, the system will continue to be actively modernized and developed. Global ERP's functionality has already been expanded through the use of artificial intelligence technologies. The built-in AI assistant can instantly read the entire user manual and technical regulations, providing a simple and understandable answer to even the most complex user question. The AI functionality used in this system is planned to be significantly expanded in the future.

Information security was also a key focus during the system's development. All necessary computing power, control stations, and data storage servers are located within the company's perimeter, virtually eliminating the possibility of unauthorized access by third parties.

"Current versions of Oracle rely on cloud technologies, which puts system users in an even more vulnerable position. With a single click, the platform owner can effectively paralyze the system. Therefore, I believe that we have begun developing our own software at the right time, and the decision to transition is strategically sound and justified. This is why PhosAgro is viewed with hope and anticipation not only by our partners in the agrochemical sector, but also by representatives of other sectors of the Russian economy. As a leader in system development and implementation, we are paving the way for many other companies," said Denis Novikov, CEO of Apatit JSC.

"For us as a vendor, the transition of such a large industrial customer from Oracle to Global ERP is a landmark import substitution project, confirming the maturity of a domestic enterprise-level digital product and its readiness for implementation at major manufacturing companies. Importantly, our experience working with PhosAgro allows us to accelerate platform development, scale best practices, and offer the market a reliable Russian ERP solution that meets the challenges of digital transformation and technological independence," noted Alexander Russkikh, Technical Director of Global ERP.

Moscow, March 3 (Xinhua) — Russian President Vladimir Putin is making every effort to help de-escalate the conflict in the Middle East. This was stated on Tuesday by the Russian leader's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, commenting on Putin's phone conversations the previous day with the leaders of Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia regarding the situation surrounding Iran.

"Putin will certainly make every effort to facilitate at least a minor easing of tensions. In this regard, yesterday, with virtually all of our interlocutors, we discussed Putin conveying their deep concern regarding the strikes on their infrastructure to our colleagues in Iran, taking advantage of the dialogue we maintain with the Iranian leadership," TASS quotes Peskov as saying.

The Kremlin spokesman emphasized that Russia strictly adheres to the principles of international law, such as respect for sovereign states and non-interference in their internal affairs. "This is the core of our position," Peskov stated, adding that Moscow considers anything else inconsistent with the principles of international law.
