Government

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.

This experience enables us to streamline best practices and solutions in infrastructure management, cybersecurity, Cloud, AI, Blockchain, enterprise automation, drones, IoT and many other technologies.

Sopra Steria and Microsoft announce their partnership to launchan hybrid cloud services offering

Title* : Sopra Steria and Microsoft announce their partnership to launchan hybrid cloud services offering

Paris, February 4th, 2019 – Sopra Steria and Microsoft are teaming up to meet the need

for digital agility in organisations. This partnership is based on almost 15 years of

collaboration. With more than 720 certified consultants and 800 innovative Microsoft

technology projects, Sopra Steria is a “Microsoft Gold Certified Partner”.

Sopra Steria and Microsoft are deepening their collaboration to further develop

activities around Microsoft technologies, especially the Microsoft Azure platform,

which brings together Big Data, IoT, Artificial Intelligence, Digital Workplace, CRM, and

of course Cloud services in one place.

Over the last few years, the Cloud has become essential. More and more, institutions

and companies are using this technology to store and analyse their data, host their

applications, and use online software. This increasing reliance on the Cloud reflects

organisations’ desire to facilitate work for all employees and customers by providing

access to the information they need, no matter where they are, while also improving

maintainability and security.

“With the broad cloud adoption, we have to think about potential cybersecurity risks,

especially for Operators of Essential Services in sectors such as Banking, Energy,

Transportation, and Public Safety. These organisations may want to migrate to the

Cloud, but they don’t necessarily want to transfer their entire information system to a

public cloud. To meet their particular needs and support their digital transformation,

we have created this hybrid cloud services offering with Microsoft.” says Cyril Malargé,

Sopra Steria Executive Director for France.

This solution blends the flexibility of a public cloud (Pay-as-you-go, resource elasticity,

automatic resilience from running applications from different locations) with the

security of a private cloud.

Using a DevOps approach, Sopra Steria adopts a proactive strategy, allowing it to

develop a tailor-made offer that is adapted to meet customer expectations, whether

that means accelerating native cloud service development, offering Go2Cloud

support, or helping the customer to build their own platforms.

“Based on their needs, Sopra Steria can now provide its customers with a dedicated

cloud that can connect to any public cloud, creating a hybrid operating

environment. Working with Microsoft also allows us to improve our employees’ skill set”,

explained Cyril Malargé.

“The hybrid Cloud is one of the keystones needed for large companies’ digital

transformation. Microsoft is investing in this area to provide our customers with custom

solutions that are secure and agile, based on our Azure cloud platform. Our Azure

Stack collaboration with Sopra Steria therefore complements our hybrid Cloud

services in France, and more datacenters opened there in March 2018.” concluded

Carlo Purassanta, CEO of Microsoft France.
