On 30 October 2025, Marcus Warnke will discuss with experts at the Rhineland-Palatinate Digital Administration Conference how clear control, prioritisation and transparency in portfolio management enable effective and sustainable digitalisation in public administration.

The digitization of public administration is the central transformation on the path to state modernization. The Online Access Act (OZG) requires the federal government, states, and municipalities to offer administrative services digitally. However, digitized application forms are only the first step. Only complete, seamless end-to-end digitization creates real added value – for citizens, businesses, and public authorities.

mgm has now been awarded the eGovernment Readers' Choice Platinum Award in the ‘Consultant’ category for five years in a row – clear proof that we are maintaining our leading position in the digitalisation of public administration.

On 2 October 2025, Roland Kreutzer, Head of Public Sector Consulting at mgm, together with Dr Julia Hodapp and Anne Voigt, will be demonstrating at the Smart Country Convention (SCCON) how the NEGZ – Competence Network for Digital Administration – is driving forward the digital transformation of public administration – and why it is worth getting actively involved.

The recently published eGovernment Monitor 2025 by Initiative D21 sheds light on the situation: Yes, there are now plenty of digital administrative services available – but citizens and businesses are right to point out that many of them still seem analogue, difficult to access or untrustworthy. If we want to take the digital state seriously, we must not only deliver ‘more’, but above all deliver better.

Public administration faces a dilemma: how can effective digitalisation be implemented when resources and budgets are tight? At this year's NEGZ Autumn Conference, we will show how this can be achieved – with proven methods for impact-oriented and coordinated management of digitalisation projects.

Starting July 8, 2025, einfachELSTERplus will make filling out tax returns easier than ever – with an interactive interview mode. As a long-standing digitalization partner of the German tax authorities, mgm technology partners played a key role in implementing this new service.

As part of an EU-wide tender to conclude framework agreements for low-code implementation resources, mgm technology partners GmbH has been awarded a contract for nationwide digitization projects with its A12 development platform. mgm consulting and implementation services related to the A12 platform are now available to federal, state, and local government agencies.

Digitalisation despite tight budgets – is that even possible? In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the answer is yes – if you take cooperation seriously, manage processes clearly and tackle digital projects together. In an interview with Marcus Warnke from mgm consulting partners, Hauke Rickertsen, OZG coordinator at the Ministry of the Interior of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, and Raik Writschan, head of digitalisation for the city of Rostock, talk about what they have learned from the OZG implementation programme.

In times of geopolitical tension, digital sovereignty is no longer an abstract concept, but a strategic necessity – especially for public administrations. More and more authorities are recognising that smart use of cloud computing not only increases efficiency, but also control over data and digital processes. But what is the status quo? What cloud projects already exist – and what needs to happen for Germany to become more digitally sovereign? Our white paper provides the answers.
