Rostelecom experts select cases demonstrating achievements in the field of digital transformation, including those related to import substitution, to participate in the award. Each project is not only the result of an effective partnership, but also the best industrial practice. This year, awards were presented in three nominations - "PRO Trust", "PRO Yourself" and "PRO Meanings". In addition, the winners of the new "Screen of Success" award, which is awarded for contribution to the development of corporate television, were announced for the first time.
The PRO Trust nomination recognized projects related to the creation of a trusted environment and interaction within the customer’s system.
"Diamond Ring" (AK "ALROSA"). The project made it possible to connect four mines and six settlements in Yakutia with a fiber-optic network built by Rostelecom specialists. The new infrastructure ensured high network reliability in the harsh Yakutian nature and made it possible to implement modern IT solutions for business development.
"Digital Corridor" (JSC Transneft). The project resulted in the creation of a hybrid radio network of Wi-Fi and LPWAN standards along the 260 km long main oil pipeline of JSC Transneft-Volga. The network made it possible to organize the collection of telemetry data as part of automated resource monitoring and accounting systems, and also provided the territory with industrial communications.
"Unified KSPD of the holding" ("Technodinamika" and BCT). Created in a secure design, the corporate data transmission network ensured the continuity, reliability and security of digital interaction between the holding's enterprises. This allowed the geographically distributed corporation to move to a new data-based management model.
In the nomination "PRO Meanings" for breakthrough projects in the field of media and communications, the following were awarded:
"AI in Media" ("Soyuzmultfilm"). The project resulted in the translation and dubbing of the new season of the popular animated series "Prostokvashino" into Kazakh using artificial intelligence technology for the channel "Multilandia" (children's entertainment and development channel of the film studio "Soyuzmultfilm"). Thanks to this, the audience of the TV channel in Kazakhstan can watch animation in their native language.
"Information Day" ("Greenatom"). A project within the framework of which the "Information Day 2.0" information system was created using professional television solutions. It provides broadcasting of strategic events of the Rosatom State Corporation with the participation of the CEO, key division managers, and also helps to create and transmit local content projects of mobile television studios.
The PRO Svoe nomination recognized projects whose goal was to transition to domestic technologies and solutions:
"Technological Sovereignty" (Gazprombank). The essence of the project is import substitution of infrastructure software: Gazprombank switched to domestic solutions for organizing virtual workplaces and managing dynamic infrastructure, developed by the company "Basis".
"Automated Workplace of an Engineer" (UAC Engineering). The project allowed import substitution of the infrastructure of engineering workplaces using a service model, including application software hosted in a private cloud. As a result, a single technologically sustainable digital ecosystem was created, ensuring the continuity and functional efficiency of engineering personnel in the design of high-tech products.
