CSI-Piemonte was founded by the Piedmont Region, the University of Turin and the Polytechnic of Turin in 1977 with the aim of promoting the modernization of local administration by using the most advanced information and IT-based tools to create information services and systems.
In 30 years of activity, CSI-Piemonte has grown to such an extent that it can now boast an annual revenue of over 180 million Euro, over 1200 employees and 54 associated bodies (among which Provinces, municipalities, hospitals, local healthcare centres, municipal agencies and associations), requesting its services.
As a common meeting point for research bodies, local Public Administration (PA) and private business, CSI looks to spread the benefits of the Information Society throughout the territory and encourage socio-economic growth in the Piedmont region. Thanks to the Consortium, Piedmont has become an integrated administration "system", able to face the e-government challenge, simplify administrative processes and meet the expectations of citizens and companies alike.
CSI-Piemonte operates in several different fields of activity, which can be summarized as follows: agriculture and forestry, the environment and the territory , demography, land registry and taxes, manufacturing activities, professional training and labour, education and the cultural heritage, health and socio-welfare services, administration, accounting and human resource systems.
