Company Background
Our local authorities are forced to do more with less resources. In addition, citizens have incorporated the new digital technologies into their everyday life as well as their professional life. As a result, they expect local authorities to do the same. They demand a more efficient, user-friendly and faster administration, and a more modern, greener and smarter city. So, in fact, citizens are driving the digital transformation of municipalities, or in other words, they want to become #SmartCity users. We support a pragmatic approach towards making our towns and cities smarter.
