Indra awarded applications management projects for the Brazilian Goverment worth over €19 M

Indra, one of the top consulting and technology multinationals in Europe and Latin America, has won several applications management projects for the Brazilian government worth a total of 19 million euro. The 12-month performance period could be renewed over the next five years.

The project includes the provision of technology services to 12 government institutions where different applications portfolios and technology support management will be offered including the modernising of IT systems that underpin the services provided and support for the solutions implemented. Thanks to the company's offer, government administrations will be able to improve their technology applications and guarantee the development and maintenance of their internal systems.

Specifically, the administrations included in the project are the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, the Brazilian Institute of Scientific Innovation, the National Institute of Historical and Artistic Heritage, the Superior Electoral Court, the National Commission of Nuclear Energy, the National Observatory, the National Institute for Space Research, the National Institute for Semi-arid Regions and the Emilio Goeldi Museum. These are joined by the Further Training Coordination for Higher Level Employees (CAPES) the Ministry of Sport and the High Court of Justice.

These administrations are set to benefit from a highly efficient management model enabling resource optimisation and lower costs whilst providing better service quality for Brazilian citizens. Extending the coverage, scope and security of technology services will help these institutions progress in tandem with the country's needs in important areas such as scientific and technological research, ICT development policy, biosecurity, space, nuclear energy, control of exports in goods and services, historical and artistic heritage, and the electoral and legal systems.

This is one of the main public administration projects in Brazil as it includes technology development in corporate applications and administrative processes. This type of contract can be used by other public organisations which, if they so wish, may sign up to be included in the original contract.
