In short, the type of contract 1C ITS TECHNO or "Access to 1C updates" is an access only to receive updates from the company "1C" via the Internet or on the disk itself. If you buy 1C ITS TECHNO, then, unlike the "Access to 1C updates" service, the delivery of the ITS TECHNO disk to the postal address is implied. For the "Access to 1C updates" service, disks can be obtained independently at our office. The TECHNO contract and "Access to updates 1C" does not include methodological support of the company "1C" - free seminars on innovations in legislation - https://its.1c.ru/lector/, access to the knowledge base and methodology "1C" - https://its.1c.ru/, for the same reason there is no consultation line. "Access to 1C updates" or 1C ITS TECHNO is a good option for companies that have their own IT department, whose employees update the program themselves and provide support to employees of other departments. In other cases, this tariff is rather unprofitable, because, despite the payment and the availability of 1C ITS TECHNO, without methodological support, users with the 1C ITS TECHNO tariff are left alone with their problems or they have to additionally call and pay for the work of programmers or consultants to solve these problems.

What is included in the tariff 1C ITS TECHNO and 1C ITS PROF and "Access to 1C updates"?

Briefly differences in services and services included in 1C ITS tariffs can be presented in the following table.

1C ITS 7.7

Whether there is a special kind tariff for users of programs of the previous version of 1C Enterprise 7.7? For users of 1C 7.7 ITS (information technology support) is carried out in exactly the same way as for the current version of 1C Enterprise 8. Users of 1C 7.7 programs, for example, 1C Accounting 7.7 or 1C Salary and Personnel 7.7 can receive updates within the tariffs 1C ITS PROF, 1C ITS TECHNO or Access to 1C updates. More about them is written above. Please note that many services included in 1C ITS PROF are not always available in 1C 7.7 programs. For example, the 1C-Contractor service is not implemented in 1C Accounting 7.7, and to connect the 1C-Reporting service to 1C Accounting 7.7, you must additionally use the 1C: Taxpayer 8 program.

Surely many people know that when buying a 1C version of the PROF software product, it is necessary to conclude an information technology support agreement or, in short, D ITS clause. But for some reason, not many people know what exactly this contract is and what services it includes. And some people don't even know that ITS agreement should be concluded in principle. And turning, for example, to the 1C support line, they are faced with the fact that they refuse to advise the client without the contract itself. This article is intended to remove all gaps in understanding what an ITS agreement is, why it is needed and what opportunities it provides to the user.

Let's look at what constitutes a contract by definition of the 1C company itself.

By concluding an information technology support agreement (1C: ITS) with a partner of 1C, users of 1C programs receive: legal updates, a professional information system 1C: ITS integrated with the program, service and consulting services from 1C and its partners.

From this wording, we can draw conclusions: in order to at least get access to updates for your PP and advice on working in it, you need an ITS agreement. In a broader sense, ITS is a set of information and software services that are provided to you under the contract. In the previous article, we noted that for PROF version products, an ITS agreement is mandatory. For basic versions, it is not needed, all updates are provided there for free. This is the policy of the company 1C. Now let's look specifically and point by point at what exactly is included in the ITS agreement, how it is concluded and what its varieties are.

Let's say you bought some product 1C version PROF. Let it be 1C: Accounting 8. Together with it, you are already provided with a FREE subscription (agreement) ITS PROF exactly 3 months. So let's say "demo" contract period. Those. during this subscription you can take advantage of all the opportunities that a full-fledged ITS PROF provides. True, you cannot activate this subscription on your own. To do this, you need to contact 1C partners, i.e. to any 1C-Franchisee company. There are such firms in almost every city in Russia and in the post-Soviet space. The software product itself is usually purchased here. The prefix "PROF" to the ITS agreement is not accidental, since there are other types of agreements, for example, more simplified in its capabilities ITS Techno. But let's talk about everything in order. Consider first the possibilities of ITS PROF. Under this agreement, you receive:

• Free monthly updates of your software products 1C performed by 1C-Franchisee specialists
• Possibility of consultation on the support line both in 1C itself and your Franchisee partner
• Receiving monthly periodicals from 1C with delivery to your office: magazines, ITS disks, souvenir products(mini gifts)
• Access to the full list and capabilities of ITS services
• Access to an online reference database with methodological and practical materials on working and keeping records in 1C (website)
• Discounts for attending various trainings and seminars on 1C

As you can see, the list of possibilities is quite impressive, and as I noted earlier, during the first three months, you have all these possibilities. What to do when the ITS PROF bonus agreement has ended? I think the answer is obvious - it needs to be extended. Here you are given the choice: to conclude new treaty ITS PROF, or switch to a more simplified version of the ITS Techno agreement. As part of Techno, you can:

• Download updates for your 1C programs on your own, i.e. just access the update site
• The possibility of a significantly limited time consultation on the support line of both 1C itself and your partner 1C Franchisee
• Receiving monthly periodicals from 1C, which you pick up yourself from the office of your Franchisee partner: only ITS magazines and disks
• Access to a limited list and capabilities of ITS services
• Access to a limited number of directories in the online database with methodological and practical materials on working and keeping records in 1C (website)

True, at the same time, ITS Techno is much cheaper. Below is a comparison table of prices for 2017:

Contract type	for 3 months	for 6 months	for 12 months
ITS PROF	RUB 9,636	18 600 rub.	RUB 35,592
ITS TECHNO	is not	RUB 7,854	RUB 15,036

These two types of contracts are concluded for the main standard software products 1C, usually used in commercial organizations with self-supporting chart of accounts. For example, 1C: Accounting, 1C: Payroll and personnel management, 1C: Trade management, 1C: Integrated automation and others. For budget, government and autonomous institutions, where as a rule such configurations as 1C: Accounting are used public institution, 1C: Salary and personnel of a state institution, etc., it is necessary to conclude contracts ITS Budget PROF or ITS Budget. Their capabilities are equal to conventional ITS PROF and ITS Techno, respectively. There are specialized industry solutions for software products for which there are also agreements: ITS Medicine And ITS Construction and housing and communal services. Their capabilities are equal to conventional ITS PROF. The difference between these agreements lies in the cost of subscriptions for these types of institutions, the availability of additional specialized sections directories in the online database (website), as well as the presence of an additional (industry \ budget) consultation line. General scheme For clarity, it can be represented as something like this:

Price variety of ITS contracts:

Contract type	for 3 months	for 6 months	for 12 months
ITS Budget PROF	RUB 9,636	18 600 rub.	RUB 35,592
ITS Budget	is not	RUB 8,916	RUB 17,112
ITS Construction and housing and communal services	RUB 13,233	RUB 25,512	RUB 48,984
ITS Medicine	is not	RUB 20,406	RUB 39,168

I recommend that you not worry too much about the varieties of these contracts. There are all sorts of other ITS Industry different categories, subscription schemes ITS 8+4 And so on. You can contact any 1C-Franchise company in your city at any time, where you will be advised both on the selection of ITS and on the software products themselves. The main thing is that you learn the main differences and capabilities of the ITS PROF and ITS Techno subscriptions in order to understand "WHAT DO I PAY MONEY FOR?".

Finally, let's analyze ITS services . In my opinion, this is the main argument in favor of ITS PROF. Since almost all services under this agreement are provided at no additional charge. More details on the services will be a separate article. Now I will note that services are some additional software and information services that greatly simplify the work of 1C users. Let's briefly analyze the main ones:

1C-Reporting. Service for sending accounting and tax reporting directly from the 1C interface. It is possible to send to the Federal Tax Service, FIU, Rosstat, FSS and others. The possibility of non-formalized correspondence with the tax authorities, all kinds of requests, extracts from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, receipt / responses to requirements and much more is provided.

1C-Contractor. Automatic filling in by TIN of the main details of counterparties and organizations in 1C, which facilitates and simplifies manual data entry.

1C-EDO. Exchange of legally significant documents between counterparties using virtually one button. Documents are certified by a qualified digital signature, which guarantees their full legal force comparable to the "paper" version. When exchanging electronic documents accounting documents are automatically entered in 1C, which again facilitates manual data entry.

1C-Cloud archive. Automatic creation of backup copies of 1C databases and uploading them to the "cloud", i.e. in your personal internet cabinet. The principle is the same as when manually uploading and storing databases on some kind of "Yandex Disk", only in this case everything happens automatically.

1C-Link. A remote connection service that allows you to organize simple and secure access via the Internet to 1C programs installed on a user's computer or server. Does not require deployment of additional software or hardware platform. All configuration and access is carried out using a special "1C: Link-Agent".

As I have already noted, all these and many other services within the ITS PROF are included in the subscription. True, and with some limits - this is so that you do not deceive yourself too much. Free cheese only happens in a mousetrap 🙂

I hope my article helped you to identify the needs in a particular contract. Now you are armed and can safely answer the question "what is an ITS agreement?". You can always monitor a more detailed description, differences and prices on the official website.
