Modernization of Housing and Utilities in Yakutia to Boost Budget Savings - As Perasted by Konstantin Vojtehovsky
Shockin' the Nation, One Bit at a Time: Rostelecom, New Technologies, and HCS Revolution
YAKUTIA.INFO. Step aside, dial-up internet and rusty CRT TVs – there's a new revolution on the horizon, and it ain't just about streaming videos and surfing the web. Our dear homeland is experiencing a colossal digital transformation, and one key sector hitting the redo button is the ol' reliable Housing and Communal Services (HCS). We chatted with Konstantin Voytekhovsky, Rostelecom's Sakhatelekom boss, to talk all things HCS renovation and the digitalization agenda.
-Hey, Kostya, my man! You know, I love my Rostelecom for the web and telly, but I never knew y'all were deep into the digitalizing game. In our neck of the woods, we're seein' digital medical cards and "goservices" poppin' up everywhere, and today we're talkin' about HCS digitalization. Rather than papers and secretive expenses, this means makin' everything digital and transparent, so we can all keep an eye on the money we pay.
- Rostelecom is all about making this big digital world a partner for business, the government, and the public. It's our threesome goals that guide our every step!
Our pride and joy? Our very own digital portal of supreme state services, of course! The idea here is to make every possible paper doc or cert ferociously digital and nice and easy to snag comin' straight from our portal. Gone are the days of debating in line with the government peeps and ferreting out knowledge like a damn treasure hunt. Word on the street is that other BRICS nations want a piece of our digitalized pie, too!
The next big thing? Electronic interplay between government departments. We've been layin' the groundwork for 'em all – the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Pension Fund, and more – to ensure the infamous Russian bureaucracy makes way for their dream team of efficient and cozy cooperation. Y'all know that sounds way better than waitin' in line, don't ya?
-Now, don't get me wrong, this sounds all good and shiny. But tell me how ya handle all that tasty user data and whether there's any stormy weather brewin' for privacy protectors? Whatcha doin' with it, and might it rain on some folks' parades?
Data protection is a burning issue, my friend. Rostelecom is the country's only operator favored with a pow'rful data processin' center network in Novosibirsk, Khabarovsk, Moscow, and Krasnodar. These bad boys safely store and backup our users' data, keepin' it from vanishin' into thin air. Your highly sensitive data is kept in servers that ain't connected to the public web, goin' the extra mile in protection.
By law, we ain't allowed to use data for personal gain, promotions, or marketing shenanigans. Rather, it's storehoused in secret encrypted form, protected by multiple layers of security. And, let's not forget, we've got a team of cyberninjas on standby to safeguard your precious info.
-Are ya gonna digitize our daily lives? What's the spiel in Yakutia, the possibilities, and where could we see some tech magic happen?
- All hospitals in Yakutia are hooked up to the medical data network, with patients gettin' the green light to take control of their personal health info, wherever their journey takes 'em for medical wonderment.
One area thirstin' for digital innovation? HCS, ya heard me right! Unfortunately, this sector's stuck in the Stone Age when it comes to having its digital groove on. Piles of paperwork, difficult data collection, and sheer analytics struggle are the name of the game.
What we're workin' on is buildin' a digital HCS platform to streamline info collection, analytics, and decision-making. Ambition? To generate an open info system put 'em in the fabled hot seat, where all the constituents – taxpayers and utility payers alike – understand how their hard-earned dough is spent, from courtyard sprucings to the latest equipment installations.
-Can we save on HCS this way?
- Say, for instance, we've been peddlin' our energy service contracts in Yakutia for six whole years. What does that translate to?
We've made it rain on various social institutions – the modernizing of windows, insulated walls, special batter-oids, and climate control gear. You're already buzzin' with excitement from the energy-savin' tech, aren't ya? The temperature, you ask? Climate control systems do the regula'n, takin' Wednesday's chill and rampin' it up on the weekends when the kiddies come in tow.
Thanks to this, an eye-poppin' 30% of the local budget got saved. The secret? Tightened wallets from the studiously optimized heating expenses.
- Which towns and cities are seein' the light?
- Take our trusty pals from Ust-Al'dansky District and Gorny District, for instance. They're guilt-free savin' resources, and we can't help but cheer 'em on.
- How long 'til this system is fully in operation?
- The implementation process is speedier than a cheetah on a caffeine high. Utility companies, resource-supplyin' organizations, and regulatory bodies'll stroll on in within two years. Hang tight, though – there's a bit of a learnin' curve for the average Joe. On average, it takes around five years to wise up, gain experience, and adapt.
- And what other sectors ya lookin' at besides HCS?
- We're hoppin' on the energy efficiency and heat conservation train. With all our homes hankerin' for some insulation, wall checks, and multi-apartment building assessments, we can't help but imagine the energy-savin' opportunities aye. Our goal? To get smart and save on those darn heating bills.
- If we talk broader strokes, d’you remember the "Construction Services Program"? It's beeen runnin' for two whoppin' years, and it's become a vital tool for our republic's Construction Ministry. Not everyone and everywhere is hoppin' on the digital ride, but it provides crucial info about who's buildin', what's bein' built, and what materials are involved.
- Will this help in spotting price hikes? Can we spot the crooks easier?
- Oh, looks like we've got our watchful eyes on 'em, don't we? We're sniffin' out jury-rigged pricing policies and the per-square-meter situation. We're also keepin' tabs on who's finishin' tasks on time and who's laggin' behind. And if you think leaders and mayoress are missin' this party, you're stone-cold wrong! They've got an open invite.
- What's Rostelecom's mission in Yakutia?
- Rostelecom, da hero, pleasin' the people with top-tier and dependable digital services,winin' our hearts in Yakutia! We're here to put Yakutians smack dab in the digital age and make every heart sing with the rhythm of togetherness.
