VERSO is a centralized and flexible, context-aware Design System developed by the General Inspectorate for IT and Technological Innovation (Ispettorato Generale per l’informatica e l’innovazione tecnologica – IGIT) of the State General Accounting Department (Ragioneria Generale dello Stato – RGS) to standardize and industrialize the design and development of digital solutions.

In 2021, the RGS faced the challenge of managing nearly 120 heterogeneous digital solutions developed over time and following different logics.

Without common guidelines, processes, and collaboration tools, misalignment emerged, slowing RGS’s digital transformation.


A number of critical issues emerge: project and technological fragmentation, system obsolescence and the lack of a shared method.

Added to this are inconsistencies in user experience, with different interfaces and languages, alongside ineffective collaboration between business stakeholders, designers, and developers.


Seeking to address these challenges, the RGS draws on best practices from product-driven organizations.

The goal is to meet the need for clear, accessible, and consistent solutions for users, while establishing a rules framework that can support and adapt to ongoing contextual change.


VERSO addresses these needs through more than 22 frameworks that guide the design and development of digital solutions.

A system that operates across multiple dimensions — strategic, technical, and organizational — finding in their integration the key to addressing the complexity of large organizations. VERSO supports decision-making, guides the value-creation process, and works alongside operational governance.
