"The EAS market in Ukraine is an immature market and holds significant opportunities for EAS vendors. But due to the political situation in the country most vendors have had to focus on the existing customer base rather than on signing new large accounts. Once political tensions ease, investments in IT in general and in EAS in particular will take off." – Elena Semenovskaia, Research Analyst, IDC Russia
