Public Sector

The OZG and EfA principles are important initiatives for driving forward the digital transformation of public administration. However, the subsequent operation of digital administrative services requires a new form of collaboration.

This year, the Nordländer Congress will take place in Bremen on October 12, and the motto could hardly be more fitting: "buten un binnen - wagen un winnen". This old motto of the Bremen merchant community shows, even in times of OZG and EfA, that together we can also successfully digitize public administration by looking beyond our own horizons and having the necessary courage.

The success story continues: mgm is able to build on the success of the previous two years and once again receives the coveted Platinum Award in the consultant category. With the annual presentation of its prestigious award, Vogel-IT's trade magazine eGovernment Computing honors exceptional achievements in the field of digital administration.

The modular structure of the funding finder suite provides the basis for a standardised description of funding opportunities, and thus for a better and more user-friendly search. The ‘one for all’ product is now available for all federal states to use in the FIT Store as software as a service (SaaS).

Communication with the Chambers of Tax Consultants has become much easier for the more than 100,000 members: Since September 19, they have been able to use 24 uniform administrative services online in a new application portal. mgm supports the chambers in implementing the OZG project.

After 2022, another hackathon was held in Kiel: "SH:digital". Over the course of four days, experts from manufacturers and public administration worked together in various teams to develop initial solutions for the digitization of administrative processes using different LowCode/NoCode tools.

This FAQ answers frequently asked questions on the topic of low code in the public sector - from the significance of the solution approach and the possible uses in public administration to security and further development options for low code platforms.

It is hard to imagine today's digital world without cloud solutions. Many companies in different industries are also outsourcing their IT infrastructure to the cloud. The advantages are obvious: cost reduction, scalability of IT services and significant savings in maintenance and servicing. What is currently still missing is a cloud solution that follows European standards - thus providing a counterpart to the American cloud providers.

In the German public sector, accessibility for websites and applications has been a legal requirement since 2018. However, it is not always entirely clear what the requirements mean in practice. The Accessibility Working Group of DATABUND e.V., in which mgm is also involved, has now published a handout on the accessibility statement.

At the beginning of July, an important milestone for the internal digitalization of public administration was reached: The first version of the MODUL-F platform is now available on govdigital's EfA marketplace and can be used by federal, state and local authorities. The technical basis is mgm's A12 enterprise low-code platform.
