The Engineering Group spans the entire software value chain

System integration & consulting, outsourcing of systems and applications, proprietary products and solutions (produced in the Group’s software factories) and research on technology innovation.

At the end of 2008, this Italian ICT behemoth achieved production value of more than 730 million Euros, thanks to the efforts of six operational business units: Central Public Administration, Local Public Administration and Health, Industry and Services, Banks and Insurance, Utilities and Telecommunications.

Engineering has a portfolio of 800 clients in Italy and other countries. The company has been quoted on the Milan Stock Exchange since 2001 on the Techstar segment, dedicated to securities which comply with the most stringent capital requirements. Already 10 percent of its turnover today is directly or indirectly generated in countries outside Italy, in partnership with Italian companies which enjoy a portfolio of activity outside Italy. This translates into working with large banks, manufacturing industries, the defence and space sectors, homeland security sector, telcos and EU bodies with headquarters in Brussels. One of Engineering Group’s strategies for the future is to further internationalise its activities. The company is already a European leader in software research and one of the best-qualified IT companies in the world in the delivery of open-source solutions, such as the non-proprietary software which consequently has no licence cost.

To confirm its commitment to innovation, Engineering has developed six cross-functional expertise centres - ERP, Enterprise Content Management, Business Intelligence and Open Source, Managed Operations, Plant Management Systems and Security. These work to support the offering of the business units, integrating and completing the sector technology specialisations as well as supporting client relationship under the banner of innovation.
