Information agency Credinform represents a ranking of the largest Russian software developers. Software developers and companies rendering consultancy services in this business area (TOP-10) with the largest annual revenue were selected for the ranking, according to the latest accounting periods in the Statistical Register (2017 – 2019). Then they were ranked by the net profit ratio (Table 1). The analysis was based on the data from the Information and Analytical system Globas.
