Local governments offer more than 700 products and services to their residents. They place a high priority on innovation and customer orientation and link efficiency, cost control and digitization to this. This last aspect, digitalization, requires a flexible, cyclical and - in these times - far-reaching specialization, which has its own accents within local governments, and requires an immense challenge to put the right IT talent in the right place. Servantes and V-ICT-OR want to meet this challenge with local boards through Servantes ICT. It is the perfect way to bring new blood from the private sector into the public sector.
