Salary benchmarks
Our take
NEC Software Solutions (formerly Northgate Public Services) is but one branch under the NEC Corporation umbrella. Since its acquisition by NEC Group in 2018 the company has seen substantial growth with NEC's support.
The company’s customer base is rooted in national governments and international health bodies, spanning across police forces, emergency services, local authorities, and housing providers. The company has made numerous strategic partnerships and acquired Vantage Health which has enabled it to better serve communities.
The company is facing challenges as it was ordered by the Competitions and Markets Authority to sell parts of a recent acquisition of Capita Secure Solutions, a software provider for emergency services. This was because the deal meant that ICSS and Duties Software provided by Capita would cost more for publically funded services under NEC. Regardless, NEC Software Solutions’ proven history of success at a global scale and recent start-up investments and partnerships have it well set to remain a leading provider of public sector software and services.
