Catella is driving a strategic business transformation through a partnership with Sopra Steria, a top European service provider in digital solutions. The partnership will streamline Catella’s IT operations across 12 countries and 25 cities, leveraging cutting-edge cloud infrastructure, technology and strong cybersecurity and compliance capabilities.
The goal is to reposition Catella as a digital frontrunner in the real estate sector. The partnership with Sopra Steria enables Catella to rapidly free up resources from routine data and IT tasks to instead focus on innovation and business growth.
“This transformation is not just a technological upgrade – it's about empowering our teams to leverage each other’s strengths and our collective intelligence to make smarter, data-driven decisions and deliver even more value to our stakeholders. By positioning data and AI at the heart of our operations, we can create superior value while enhancing our competitive edge”, says Martin Johanson, CIO and Chief AI Officer at Catella.
The decision to partner with Sopra Steria is driven by their ability to cover all Catella’s markets, ensuring a smooth and efficient transition across Europe. Their expertise in cybersecurity and compliance adds an essential layer of assurance to the transformation. The company has demonstrated a deep understanding of Catella’s operations and a willingness to put skin in the game. Their collaborative approach with Catella’s local technology partners is crucial for tailoring solutions to specific market needs.
“In a complex, multi-country transformation like ours, it’s easy for organizational differences to slow things down or divert focus. By keeping the emphasis on business impact and ensuring that every decision supports our broader objective of ‘Winning Together’, we're able to cut through those challenges and drive forward with speed and precision”, Martin Johanson continues.
“This partnership highlights the speed and efficiency that can be achieved with the right people, technology and vision. Catella’s modern and holistic approach, combined with our capabilities, sets the stage for a fast, cost-efficient, and future-forward transformation. We are proud to support Catella as they redefines their business, and we look forward to delivering a pan-European solution that meets their full spectrum of technology needs. This includes our standard service offering and consulting services”, says Amir Hantash, Business Unit Director and Markus Deijfen, Senior Account Manager at Sopra Steria.
Sopra Steria is a European leader in digital transformation, with over 60,000 employees across 30 countries, specializing in cloud, cybersecurity and business process automation.
