Ministries at the centre of State development

Citizens and businesses lead and pace governments and ministries. Playing a key role, they both originate numerous reforms and are responsible for their implementation. Their actions must therefore be tangible, rapid, effective and generate results in record time.

These complex challenges mean that Ministries undergo in-depth transformation while meeting their budgetary constraints. To be successful, this type of transformation must be based on three factors:

  • Innovation and new technologies must contribute to digitalising administrations, giving them greater agility and operational efficiency.
  • Change must be explained, helped and guided through all operational and decision-making levels to make sure it is accepted and adopted by both users and civil servants.
  • Discussion and cross-fertilization between administrations and compliance with information system constraints, etc. ensure that any transformation generates value.

A State vision focussed on efficiency

Sopra Steria helps the State achieve greater agility and efficiency. Our experts build creative and disruptive solutions based on citizens’ issues and viewpoints. This vision makes it possible to identify areas for improvement and to bring citizens and public services closer together. Using an approach that transforms people and technology, the State is fully rooted in the reality of citizens and private-sector players.

Chorus: deployment in the French Ministries of National Education, Higher Education, and Research.

A contract between €6 and €10 million for the operational assistance for the deployment, training and start-up assistance. More than 3,000 users are involved.

Background & Challenges

Chorus is the new information system for the management of the French State’s financial system. This system requires modernisation.

Accompanying the implementation of the LOLF (Organic Law on the Finance Laws of 1 August 2001), this major programme of the Ministry of Finance forms part of a determined effort to improve the performance and transparency of public governance.

It constitutes a key step in the general overhaul of public policies and represents a powerful lever for the rationalisation of processes and the pooling of resources.

Sopra Steria tasks

After having made a commitment at the highest possible level and mobilised its best experts for the successful design and implementation of an exchange system between Chorus and the various Ministries, Sopra Steria has been chosen at the beginning of 2009 to carry out a new mission in the State finance modernisation programme (the Chorus programme) in partnership with BearingPoint.

The mission concerns the global deployment of Chorus in the Ministries of National Education, Higher Education, and Research. It consists of operational assistance for deployment (batch 2), training, and start-up assistance (batch 4). It involves all the districts of continental France as well as the French overseas departments and communities, consisting of more than 3,000 users.

These two batches, come to a total of between €6 and €10 million and will cover a period of 18 months.

Sopra Steria is teaming up with the Agency for State Financial Information Technology (AIFE) in order to ensure this new operation exemplifies best practice in the field of managing administration transformation projects.
