What Sogei SpA does

Sogei – Società Generale di Informatica S.p.A. is a 100% state-owned Italian IT services company, wholly owned by the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) and operating since May 1976 under the in-house providing model. It is the sole technology partner for MEF, Italy's tax agencies (Agenzia delle Entrate, Agenzia delle Entrate Riscossione), Guardia di Finanza, Customs and Excise (ADM), the Court of Accounts, and the Ministry of Health, among others, delivering and operating the digital backbone of Italian fiscal, customs, health, public-accounting, and identity systems. Core platforms include the Anagrafe Tributaria (tax registry), the Sistema Informativo della Fiscalità with pre-filled returns and 175 ISA compliance models, AIDA customs automation, Tessera Sanitaria (national health card), InIT integrated public accounting ERP replacing 10+ legacy systems, ANPR national population registry, pagoPA national payment platform, NoiPA payroll, FRODO fraud management, SIMEC euro/counterfeit monitoring used by 750+ banks, GEDI public-debt management, and the Data Warehouse RGS serving 2,400+ users across 16 data marts. Underlying technology comprises one of Europe's largest public-sector data centers (7,500+ servers, 24 petabytes storage, Kubernetes-based orchestration, IaaS/PaaS cloud, big-data NoSQL/in-memory platforms), supported by document dematerialization, IAM, and an in-house HyperSOC for the National Cybersecurity Agency.

Sogei co-owns the Polo Strategico Nazionale (PSN) sovereign cloud alongside TIM, Leonardo, and CDP, which has onboarded 576+ public administrations (a 380% increase from 120) under contracts worth €3.6 billion extended to 2035. In January 2024 it absorbed SOSE, the ICT branch of Agenzia delle Entrate Riscossione, and OpenCivitas (a transparency portal covering 6,600+ municipalities), substantially broadening its local-government and tax-collection footprint under Italian Law 112/2023. Revenue is generated exclusively through formal in-house contracts and conventions with Italian public administrations, funded by state budget allocations and inter-governmental agreements; no commercial pricing is published. Distribution is entirely direct-to-government, with positioning reinforced through ForumPA events, integrated annual reports, and a CEO-led narrative on digital sovereignty, AI, and quantum computing as the next mandate.
