Understanding the digital revolution – identifying and leveraging potential

Digitalization processes open up new opportunities, but they also create various challenges, according to the recently published Zukunftspanel Staat & Verwaltung 2018 study. [1]
Despite the need for technical and organizational modernization, around 70 percent of the public-sector bodies surveyed state that they are unprepared for the challenges of the digital age.

These include developing e-government and taking steps towards digitalization (79.6 percent), establishing an HR policy that embraces demographic diversity (48.5 percent), tightening IT security (38.3 percent), and remaining an attractive employer (32.3 percent).

In addition to the above-mentioned challenges, the public sector is also feeling the pressure of reduced budgets, the need to cut costs, and a growing demand for transparency. We help our customers to shape their digital transformation sustainably along the entire technology lifecycle – with intelligent financing models, technological modernization, and digitalization of the workplace culture. Our aim is to secure the long-term performance and adaptability of our public-sector clients by maximizing efficiency and cost-saving potential.

This is where our financing models come into their own. They can help to reduce overall costs and risks, which in turn creates room for maneuver and frees up resources that can be used elsewhere. To increase transparency, we have developed TESMA®, an app that brings together all important administrative and technical information and displays it in real time. This allows for greater process efficiency and improved transparency. Our comprehensive technology landscapes support the modernization and digital transformation of public-sector organizations and set them on the path toward Public Sector 4.0.
