The governmental ICT agency CIPAL, with its main office in Geel (Belgium), offers ICT-solutions for the public sector and public institutions.

With nearly 200 associates/shareholders, consisting exclusively of municipalities, public welfare centres, provincial governments and other public associations, CIPAL is known for its tight integrated approach when offering ICT solutions for government, as well as for its in-depth knowledge of the public sector. CIPAL offers complete turnkey solutions, including system and network implementations, providing an all-round ICT-service and advice.

CIPAL is a partner instead of a supplier, closely co-operating with all government stakeholders (decision makers, end-users, officials, civil servants). Within its total ICT-service package, we offer not only ICT solutions, but also helpdesk support, training and consulting.

Some examples of CIPAL range of software products:
· Financial management systems (including multi-year planning budget systems and inventory managements)
· Populations and citizen management systems
· Solutions for registrar’s office (certificates and documents)
· Solutions for municipal manager’s office (minute management, council voting systems)
· Geographical information systems and land planning applications
· Document management and workflow systems (registration of post and minutes)
· Library systems for public and private libraries

CIPAL is a 100 per cent self-supporting governmental ICT agency. CIPAL’s main activities are located in Belgium. However CIPAL now also exports its ICT-knowledge to areas outside of Belgium.
