Future-proofing Dutch Defence through trusted digital delivery

Empowering operational readiness with sovereign, scalable innovation

Build a future-ready Defence ecosystem

As the Netherlands Ministry of Defence accelerates its digital transformation, Sopra Steria delivers more than services — we deliver mission-aligned outcomes. Whether integrating AI into logistics or securing data across NATO frameworks, we help defence institutions evolve with control, speed, and confidence.

We support transformation where it matters most: secure infrastructure, AI-ready platforms, and sovereign systems that enhance readiness without compromise.

Why Sopra Steria is the right partner

The Dutch MoD is undergoing one of the most significant digital evolutions in its history — and it needs trusted partners who understand both the stakes and the structure. Sopra Steria isn’t a staffing vendor. We are a strategic partner delivering real results across European defence.

We work hand-in-hand with institutions to transform systems that support everything from cyber defence to HR, logistics, and command functions.

Digital transformation in defence isn’t about technology — it’s about mission advantage. At Sopra Steria, we help the Netherlands Ministry of Defence turn complexity into capability through trusted delivery, strategic alignment, and European-built digital strength.

Let’s build future-ready defence, together.

Understanding your mission: From fragmentation to force multiplication

The MoD is not just digitising — it’s redefining defence capability through data, agility, and autonomy. But pressure mounts from all sides: legacy system friction, pilot fatigue, fragmented platforms, evolving cyber threats. Sopra Steria maps these issues and responds with full-lifecycle support that respects sovereignty and delivers real advantage.

Innovation is moving — but scaling is blocked
You are testing AI and launching pilots — but isolated innovation doesn’t scale. We streamline pilot-to-production pipelines, integrate platforms, and build cohesive architectures ready for mission deployment.

Platforms still work — but no longer serve
Ageing systems in logistics, supply chain, and ERP are hurting speed and precision. We modernise with low-code, modular tech that improves visibility, mobility, and resilience — without increasing operational risk.

Your people deserve better systems — not outdated friction
Outdated HR and reservist tools affect onboarding, tracking, and morale. We create usable, integrated, and compliant systems — giving personnel the experience they deserve.

Critical decisions are made with fragmented insight
Your financial, procurement, and reporting ecosystems are disconnected. We align your data — across SAP, Oracle, and bespoke systems — to deliver real-time insight where it counts.

Security is foundational
Every transformation must be secure by design. Sopra Steria deploys defence-grade cyber systems: zero-trust architectures, NATO-compliant SOC blueprints, and end-to-end data protection.

What makes us different - a proven track record

Modern defence operations don’t rely on technology alone — they rely on trust, readiness, and strategic alignment. We understand that digital transformation within the Ministry of Defence is not a procurement project — it is a national imperative.

That is why Sopra Steria Benelux is committed to working with your teams — not around them — to reinforce sovereign capabilities, operational readiness, and mission resilience.

Sovereignty by design
We build digital systems with full respect for Dutch and EU sovereignty. Modular, non-lock-in architectures ensure you stay in command — from data residency to operational control.

Delivery, not just resources
We don’t just place people — we bring full delivery teams. We take ownership of outcomes to reduce risk, speed timelines, and drive lasting value.

European Defence DNA
With clients including NATO, EDA, French MoD, UK MoD, and eu-LISA, we understand how defence thinks and operates — both on the ground and at command level.

Secure by default
We modernise systems in some of Europe’s most sensitive environments. From secure legacy integration to next-gen AI and SOCs — our defence security record is proven and trusted.

Built for ERP, AI and Low-Code impact
We implement Oracle, SAP and Mendix platforms designed for performance and resilience. Whether digitising logistics or automating HR — we tailor to your tempo.

Benelux-based. Europe-backed.
Sopra Steria Benelux brings local proximity, Dutch-speaking teams, and delivery alignment — with the power of a European network that scales responsibly.

Our commitment to your mission

We know transformation isn’t a phase — it is a mission. At Sopra Steria, we work side-by-side with MoD teams to:

Modernise without losing control
We upgrade systems with zero disruption to your core mission. No rip-and-replace. Just better results, faster.

Industrialise what works
We bring governance, architecture, and agile delivery to scale innovation without siloes or fatigue.

Secure the entire digital battlefield
We defend your systems like they matter — because they do. Our cyber operations span tactical to strategic, from cloud to command.

Stay in alignment, always
Our people speak defence — not just digital. Every project we deliver aligns with the MoD’s strategic posture, operational tempo, and sovereignty goals.

Deploy AI that delivers
We take AI out of the lab and into theatre — helping optimise decision-making, planning, and logistics with real-world, secure applications.
