HP hotly tipped to win Schengen border IT tender

Only after it is implemented will border controls be abolished within the EU. The project is worth zl.54 million gross and it is financed from Schengen Fund of the European Union. The choice of a winning company will be 50% dependent on price and the remaining 50% on functional requirements, such as flexibility of the project and quality of submitted documentation. "The deadline for the project is so short that only a company with a ready solution could implement it," said a representative of one of the potential bidders. According to Puls Biznesu, the project should be completed within five months, which gives HP the greatest chances since the company implemented the system in other EU states.
