The Norwegian Public Roads Administration has chosen Steria to further develop its vehicle and driving licence registration system, Autosys. The contract is worth an estimated 44 million euros (NOK 350 million).

The new Autosys system will be one of the biggest and most complex ICT solutions in the Norwegian public sector. The contract with Steria includes systems development and subsequent management and further development. Four companies - Accenture, EDB Business Partner, IBM and Steria - accepted the invitation to tender for the comprehensive development contract at the end of a prequalifying round.

Jon Harald Holm, project manager for the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, explains, "This is an important milestone. We are now in a position to move forward towards the new Autosys, from the preparatory stage to the development work itself. Following an extensive evaluation process, we are confident that Steria is the right partner for this work."
