FPS BOSA SD's decision to place its trust in Sopra Steria and Tobania has demonstrated the power of their combined capabilities and strategic alignment, strengthening their position in the public sector. With a track record of multiple framework contracts in recent years, both Sopra Steria and Tobania have established themselves as a reliable partner in the digitisation of Belgian Federal Public Services.

Through integration, synergy, and innovation, the administration aims to provide fast, transparent, user-friendly, efficient, and reliable services to the Belgian government, its employees, and ultimately its citizens. This framework contract plays a crucial role in fulfilling this objective.

Under the contract, Sopra Steria and Tobania will provide support and extend the evolutionary maintenance of key applications such as IAF, eLoket, and eBox. Additionally, the companies will integrate existing and new online applications, components, and reusable elements into the FPS BOSA SD ecosystem, while ensuring ongoing maintenance and adaptability to evolving technical frameworks.
