Government
The New Zealand Government and wider public sector consists of over 130 entities which scale from large Public Service Departments (~30), Non-Public Service Departments (~5), Crown Agencies (~30), Autonomous (~15) or Independent Crown Entities (~17), Crown Research Institutes (~7), Crown Entity Subsidiaries (~150), Tertiary Institutions (~30) State Owned Enterprises (~12), Offices of Parliament, Trusts and Mixed Ownership Model companies. To this add almost 2,500 School Boards of Trustees.
New Zealand has a modest national population of around 4.79m people but enjoys a full public service model which means that the New Zealand Government and wider Public Service plays an incredibly important role in the day to day lives of New Zealand Citizens. This sector accounts for around 40% of the total New Zealand spend on Information and Communications Technology (ICT).
In recent years NEC has been helping the New Zealand Government to deliver on their core goals of enabling the NZ public to interact and to transaction with the agencies digitally and in an integrated and safe manner.

NEC has particularly close relationships with Police Law Enforcement and several central agencies for specific solutions such as those using Facial Recognition, passport image capture and matching and for border control.
