Application Portal of the Chambers of Tax Consultants Relies on Cloud Architecture
In order to be fail-safe, easy to maintain and flexibly expandable, the OZG application portal of the chambers of tax consultants relies on a microservice architecture and operation in a Kubernetes cluster. We take a look at the technical implementation of the software.
Comment: The OZG 2.0 lacks a clear strategy and a powerful technical basis
Dealing with the authorities at the click of a mouse - the implementation of the OZG should make this easier. However, the digital reorganisation of public administration has not only stalled with the expiry of the OZG deadline. With the "OZG Amendment Act", we are lagging behind in sporting terms - and already in injury time. What is needed above all is a radical rethink at state level, a review of tasks in the provision of services for the municipal level and a technical basis as a foundation.
Relieving the burden on IT specialists in local authorities – with the OZG Cloud
The OZG-Cloud is a pioneering project to advance the digitalization of administration in Germany. The platform, which was commissioned by the state of Schleswig-Holstein and the IT-Verbund Schleswig-Holstein (ITV.SH) and developed under an open source license, offers local authorities the opportunity to process applications from online services. The advantages: Reduction of workload, collaboration option between individual municipalities and forwarding of digital applications to specialist processes. The connection to the OZG cloud also means less work for IT specialists.
Bringing the OZG 2.0 onto the home straight – mgm at the “Digital State”
The Digital State - one of the most important events for digital transformation in Germany: this year, the congress organised by Behörden Spiegel will take place from 12 to 13 March at Vienna House Andel's Berlin under the motto "faster, stronger, more sovereign - together".

The importance of European standards for German register modernization
Standards exist to standardise and simplify processes. With regard to the implementation of the Register Modernisation Act, more and more stakeholders are calling for their use. The connection of registers is not only required by law at national level, but also at European level through the Single Digital Gateway Regulation. In order to enable the secure and low-maintenance transmission of data, it is important to maintain an overview of the range of existing and developing standards at national and European level.

This was in turn technically implemented by mgm in cooperation with Capgemini using the Enterprise Low Code platform A12.
mgm at SCCON: The possibilities of the Enterprise Platform Germany
How can administrative services with maturity level 4 be implemented for companies? In a joint workshop of the states of Bavaria, Schleswig-Holstein and mgm, this was demonstrated using the example of the Enterprise Platform Germany (UP-D) at the Smart Country Convention (SCCON).
Creating sustainable structures in public administration with digital consulting
In public administration, there are many services and projects that are supported by external consultants, and not only due to a lack of resources. But what should this collaboration ideally look like so that, at the end of the project, the administration is able to work sustainably with the structures created? We provide insights into our work and our consulting services for public software projects.
