Here’s how Tim, Cdp and Leonardo make the government happy on Cloud Pa
Accelerate the consortium for the national cloud: ready a newco with Tim at 45% and Cdp, Sogei and Leonardo together with 55%. All the details
A Newco with Tim at 45% and the CDP front, Sogei, Leonardo at 55%: this is the outline of the proposal to participate in the tender for the national Cloud, to be presented to the government at the end of the month and which is on the table of their respective councils .
Yesterday, according to sources from Il Messaggero, this draft would have been examined by the board of directors of Cdp together with the new industrial plan; today it will be Tim's turn who will deal with the topic between related parties and also has other topics on the agenda. On Thursday 30th it will be the turn of Leonardo's board.
"The public-private consortium will not make an economic but a technological offer" added the newspaper.
"If the consortium led by CDP were to win the project, it is likely that the initiative would take the form of a newly established company in which Cassa di Via Goito would hold the majority," Il Sole 24 Ore reported yesterday.
It seems that the only consortium to be taken into consideration by the government is that of Tim and Cdp with Leonardo and Sogei. (Here the in-depth analysis by Start on how the Mef torpedoes Fincantieri and Poligrafico on the Cloud for the PA).
The strategic pole will have to deal with the national Cloud to secure the data of the Public Administration. Between the National Strategic Pole and the migration of the entire PA to the cloud, the government has allocated 1.9 billion euros under the Pnrr.
All the details.
NEWCO WITH TIM (45%) AND CDP, SOGEI AND LEONARDO
A newco with Tim at 45% and the CDP front, Sogei, Leonardo at 55%. “Yesterday this draft would have been examined by the board of directors of Cdp together with the new business plan; today it will be Tim's turn who will discuss the matter between related parties (Cassa has 10% and Giovanni Gorno Tempini sits on the board of directors) and also has other topics on the agenda. Thursday 30 will be the turn of Leonardo's board. The proposal should start in the form of a temporary association of companies (Ati) which will then be replaced by a Newco ”revealed Il Messaggero .
WHO WILL OWN THE MAJORITY OF NEWCO
“In the vehicle, the relative majority goes to Tim and the absolute majority to the public component. Cdp will be a financial partner with around 20% while the Mef subsidiary for the ICT and the defense holding will have the residual shares ”added Il Messaggero .
THE FIRST EQUITY OPERATION OF SCANNAPIECO'S CDP AND THE NEW POCO EQUITY BUSINESS PLAN
The decision of the CDP, now led by the CEO, Dario Scannapieco, is in fact the first equity operation, even if – as written in recent days by Repubblica – in the "new industrial plan" "the CDP of the next three years would like to focus on its core business, namely that of loans to support the country's growth ".
FOR TIM D'ASARO BLONDE AT WORK ON THE DOSSIER
"At work on the Telecom side, which participates in the consortium directly with the parent company, there is, by competence, Carlo D'Asaro Biondo who, after ten years of experience in Google, has been at the helm of Noovle since last May" reports il Sole 24 hours.
At the beginning of the year, Tim started Noovle to which he conferred his data centers and entered into a strategic partnership with Google.
Without forgetting that before the consortium project with Cdp, Sogei and Leonardo, in May the Tim-Google tandem was preparing to compete with Leonardo-Microsoft and Fincantieri-Amazon for the tender announced by Minister Colao for the management of the national Strategic Pole.
THE RACE
"In the last few hours, Cdp and Tim have finished the draft which, by presenting an offer with a technological content, will be the starter of the tender in which Almaviva and Aruba announced their intention to participate, which in mid-July had sent a joint demonstration to the ministry for the realization of the Cloud under a public-private partnership "added Il Messaggero .
In fact, we recall that on 15 July Almaviva, a group active in digital solutions, and Aruba, a cloud provider company, presented an expression of interest which was followed on 6 August by the newly formed Consorzio Italia Cloud .
"The consortium's proposal should be made public to allow other interested parties to formulate better offers by the end of the year, with the first bidder having to consider whether to match them to win the work that should, however, be completed at the latest by 2025. In any case, only Italian or European players could participate in the race ”, Il Sole 24 Ore stressed yesterday.
On 7 September, the Minister for Technological Innovation Vittorio Colao had in fact specified that the project "is not open to non-EU countries, such as China".
EXCLUDING FINCANTIERI AND POLIGRAFICO
The indiscretions of Repubblica and Il Fatto Quotidiano of recent weeks regarding the moral suasion conducted by the Mef to induce Poligrafico and Fincantieri to withdraw from the tender for the National Strategic Pole of the cloud Pa are therefore increasingly confirmed.
"The other two consortiums, Fincantieri-Amazon and Poligrafico-Fastweb could be wrecked because it is rumored that the Mef is trying to discourage other public companies from competing with the squadron in which Cdp, Tim, Sogei and Leonardo are active" had reported Repubblica .
“The State Mint – controlled by the Treasury – was very ready to participate in a consortium with Fastweb. His shareholder made it known that it was not the case ”reported the Fact .
“Fincantieri also had to parade, especially since it is controlled by the CDP” reports Il Fatto . We recall that in view of the tender for the national strategic hub Fincantieri – of which the Mef holds 71% of the capital through Cdp – it had entered into commercial agreements and partnerships with Aws and Almaviva .
"So the Treasury has decided which companies directly or indirectly controlled by the State can apply for the Cloud of the PA", Gianluca Zappa had commented on Start .
THE ENTRANCE (IN A SECOND MOMENT) OF GOOGLE, AMAZON AND MICROSOFT
Finally, what will happen to the big players in the cloud sector?
“The axis of the consortium is represented by the telecommunications and the investment company of the Treasury and foundations which are also the pivots of the potential single network which, however, for now seems to have been put in the freezer. On the basis of this proposal, the government ban is expected to open the doors to the entry of technical operators such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft ”concluded Il Messaggero .
