Background of the assignment SSC-ICT

To continue serving our ministries well, we want to further develop ourselves. We do this in interaction with our clients, the ministries. Because we are the ICT service provider for and by the State, and are proud of our public task and the large-scale projects that matter.

The origin of SSC-ICT

At the beginning of this millennium, all ministries managed their IT workplaces for their civil servants independently. To create one efficient and uniform line for this service, the various ICT organizations bundled their activities. Over the years, there have been various compositions and names, but since 2014 SSC-ICT has been a fact.

Where are we now?

SSC-ICT has grown into an organization of approximately 1,200 employees and contributes to a modern state service with secure, flexible, and effective ICT services. We provide these services to the following ministries:

ICT must always be available and is increasingly crucial for the primary processes of these ministries. Our state colleagues work at various locations and on different devices: via desktop and laptop, but also on tablet and smartphone. Speed and flexibility are becoming increasingly important. Providing ICT for and with the State is a challenging task. The field of work is diverse and the security requirements are high.

Where are we heading?

SSC-ICT is growing into one organization with one face. We continue to work on a transparent way of working and optimal service delivery: standard where possible, custom where necessary. The ministries rely on our secure, reliable ICT services that are always available. The goal: to deliver stable ICT services in a rapidly changing digital world.

"We do this by working together, learning from each other, focusing on the user experience, and above all, by enjoying our work!"
