Public sector

Citizens have become more demanding consumers. As such, they have higher expectations for the quality and effectiveness of the services they receive. At the same time, public sector spending has come under increasing pressure. To help resolve this dilemma, governments and public bodies are looking to their service providers. With our heritage of public sector partnerships, we at Steria understand and respond to both imperatives.

IT has helped to define a new relationship between citizens and their governments at both central and local levels. At the same time, particularly in Europe, there is a move to greater cooperation among nation states in the areas of justice, healthcare, finance, civil protection and defence. All of this requires improved interoperability between national and local IT systems and between related organisations. What's more, against the background of this unprecedented flow of information, concerns over security are mounting.

With decades of experience in serving the public sector, Steria is in the forefront of the reorganisation and modernisation of citizen services. This includes progress in central government schemes such as public finance and accounting, online tax payments and local administration initiatives, as well as central and local government e-services that improve citizens' daily lives. We also lead the way on a wide range of national and international projects that include identity management, police interoperability and e-customs.
