Public Sector

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.

When administration, politics and digitalisation come together, a space for innovation is created - and this is exactly what the Zukunftskongress Staat & Gesellschaft offers. The congress in the capital is one of the most important platforms for public administration in Germany. From 23-25 June, decision-makers from the federal, state and local governments will once again meet with experts from business, science and civil society at Berlin's Westhafen. The focus: concrete solutions for the digital state of tomorrow.

We are delighted to have been nominated once again for the eGovernment Readers' Choice Award in the Consultant category. Having won the Platinum Award four times in a row, we are naturally keen to defend our title this year. Help us do so by voting for mgm in the Consultant category.
