Educational Platform in Lodz
Educational Platform in Lodz
Beneficient: City of Lodz
An excellent example of the use of cloud solutions in education is the
Educational Platform of Lodz, which has more than 150,000 users. By
leveraging cloud technologies on municipal servers, the city of Lodz has
deployed this broad-scale educational platform, on which users dynamically
manage their educational content, without the need to buy expensive software
or costly hardware.
Users: Teachers and pupils
Total Value of the Project: 40 mln PLN
Platform: 1 170 000 PLN
Co-financing from the regional programme of the Lodzkie region (EU cohesion
fund)
Educational Platform in Lodz
Low-cost, tailored e-learning
Give schools and universities the chance to create their own low-cost e-
learning systems.
Dynamic lessons
Such solutions allow teachers and lecturers to make lessons more
attractive, using the huge repositories of multimedia resources available in the
cloud
Personalised approach
Pupils can access educational resources – including lessons, courses,
revision aids, and so on – without the pressures of time or barriers of
geography
Flexibility
Foremost of the advantages for schools or universities are the much lower
costs of infrastructure maintenance when using cloud resources. Costs can
thus be significantly reduced during holidays as compared to during the school
year or end-of-term examinations
Broker Internet platform for cloud
services providers
The project is currently starting. A platform that will serve

Small and Medium Enterprises
providing IaaS, SaaS and PaaS solutions.
But also local government structures (gminy, powiaty),
schools, colleges etc.
Total value of the project: 700 000 PLN
Platform: 250 000 PLN
Co-financing from the operational programme “Innovative

Configurator:
The main functionality will be a configurator, which - depending on the profile of
the company / industry – is to present a list of SaaS solutions tailored to its needs
(grouped by function - storage, finance, office applications, graphics applications,
etc., as well as by price, user ratings, certification of EuroCloud, etc.).
The configurator will also suggest IaaS platforms with the appropriate resources
necessary to provide the selected applications in the cloud.
Consequently, SaaS providers must first complete an extensive questionnaire on
their needs.
Planned is also a list of the best specific solutions according to different business
branches.
In the end of the selection process, the SaaS customer receives the valuation of
monthly fees.

Data Center in Radom for the
Ministry of finance
More than 2600m2! The construction costs of the Data Center amounted to
47.52 million PLN.
Preparation and implementation of the construction of the Infrastructure were
financed under the project ˝consolidation and centralization of customs and tax
systems ˝ co-financed from EU funds. The value of EU funding was 85%
(POIG) and 15% from national sources. The total project’s value is 167 million
PLN.
Are such IT infrastructure investments affordable for
other institutions /Public administration/ Health services/ etc. ? Should
the public administration trust and buy cloud services instead?
Cloud on the move in Poland
Cooperative banks, a very specific sector in Poland, is starting to migrate to
the cloud. For example, Bank Spółdzielczy w Tczewie is one of the first pioneers. „This
model is financially the most attractive for us "- declares Eugenia Pokorska-Sawczuk,
CEO of Bank Spółdzielczy w Tczewie.
Polish Cloud virtualization providers for SMEs in Poland and in Central Europe
are rapidly growing
Currently, EU funds finance IT infrastructure in Poland – CAPEX instead
of OPEX.
European Common rules or at least Guidelines for Cloud adoption?
Common EU procurement procedures when using Cloud solutions?
Strong need of awareness/education campaign/ trainings /competence
center for SME to adopt Cloud solutions
Solid EU legislative framework on data protection/ IT security to convince
the administration and economic actors that the cloud is safe and secure;
