More recently we witnessed in Poland “iPad parliamentary affairs.” Probably a good portion of you remember the discussion turned on the Web (and other media), as to whether the tablets were distributed to parliamentarians good idea, if they use them, and whether the state should pay for it. The issue of money always produces the strongest emotions and we are not alienated in this matter: in our eastern neighbor opened discussion on the iPad for Gazprom. This device can cost mentioned in the title of 120 million rubles …
Gazprom
probably do not need anyone to represent – the gas giant, which plays a major role not only in Russia but also in the global economy (and politics). Head of the group is Alexei Miller, the control behemoth more than a decade. And it was around that person and his needs recently got pretty loud in the Russian media. The reason? Tender issued by Gazprom. The company wants someone to create for them a platform tablet with iOS (Apple is not licensing his system, so is the use of the finished product). For that purpose, allocated nearly 120 million rubles. Just this currency easily converted into zlotys: just divide by 10 We are therefore faced with the order on the tablet of 12 million.
Some people probably think it will be a gadget-style devices Vertu gold, platinum, diamonds and leather python. None of these things (at least no mention of the official). Gazprom wants simply to the hands of the President of the equipment came running smoothly 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Starting the application should take no longer than 5 seconds, and in the event of failure of the device, it should give the repair within four hours. One of the major strengths of the tablet will be, of course, security: from the chief concern of this model is to manage your business, so there is no data leakage or breaking into the iPad system.
You can certainly write that those at the end of the safety issues are tricky area that seriously raises the cost of the event. You can also say that we have to deal with the hardware, which will become the center of Gazprom management. Corporation rotates so big money that recalled 120 million is not a major expense for them. The Russian media, however, is repeated question of whether such a contract, namely, as a matter of creating the appropriate application package, in fact you should pay several million dollars? But such solutions are used in other countries and usually do not pay such sums for them.
tablet is to become a clone of the desktop Miller in terms of access to information, the ability to manage the company and analyze data in real time, but even that does not explain the price. Gazprom representatives are not supposed to be able to clearly answer the question of the basis on which the valuation made, but also emphasize that we are talking about after the maximum price and the bid can win a cheaper offer. So if you have some spare time, then you should be interested in the tender – what if you are able to realize this project ;)
