What CSI Piemonte does

CSI Piemonte - Consorzio per il Sistema Informativo is a public-sector IT consortium founded in 1977 and headquartered in Turin, Italy. It operates as the shared technology partner for approximately 140 regional and municipal public administration entities in the Piedmont region, with a 1,000+ professional workforce, a 960 km fiber optic footprint, and multi-certified data center infrastructure (ANSI/TIA 942 C Rating 3, ISO 27001/27017/27018, CSA Star Level 2). Its core product portfolio sits on the Nivola cloud platform (IaaS/PaaS/SaaS used by 476 entities) and includes CSI4YOU, an AI-powered citizen virtual assistant built on OpenAI models via Microsoft Azure; Città Facile, a digital municipal services solution; Cosmo, an ERP/workflow management platform for PA; and the Fascicolo Sanitario Elettronico (Electronic Health Records) for the Piedmont Region, certified under ISDP10003. Adjacent capabilities cover cybersecurity (CSIRT, CAIOC), GIS/GeoAI, robotic process automation, data analytics, and the Digital Campus training program.

The consortium is owned and governed collectively by its member entities rather than external shareholders, and is funded through membership contributions together with recurring managed-service contracts and professional services for digital transformation. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; services are delivered through direct enterprise sales against consortium agreements. CSI pursues thought leadership through the CSI Connect podcast, the Nuovi Strumenti magazine, the CTS convegni and Innovation Talk events, and a published 'Decalogo per la sovranità digitale' positioning the organization around public digital sovereignty. Geographic focus remains Piedmont in primary operations, with extension to EU-level cyber-AI projects through CAIOC and other international collaborations.
