Digitizing public authorities – Qualified signatures and seals for public administration.
What you should know
Digitization offers public authorities the opportunity to optimize their work processes, work more efficiently and offer citizens a better service. It has the potential to make administration more transparent and effective and thus strengthen citizens’ trust in the authorities.
By using digital technologies, bureaucratic processes can be automated and accelerated. This leads to more efficient administration and shorter processing times.
Digitization enables authorities to save costs, e.g. by eliminating paper and printing costs. In addition, work processes can be made more efficient so that fewer staff are required.
Digitalization enables authorities to collect and analyse large volumes of data. This data analysis makes it possible to make well-founded decisions and to plan and implement targeted measures.
Digitization enables public authorities to make their services faster and easier to access. Citizens can complete administrative procedures online and submit documents electronically. This contributes to improved service quality and customer satisfaction.
Online portals and digital means of communication allow public authorities to act more transparently and closer to citizens. Information and documents can be accessed at any time and from anywhere, which leads to greater transparency and communication.
Public authorities are better protected against data loss and unauthorized access thanks to modern security standards. At the same time, data protection requirements are also taken into account in order to protect citizens' sensitive data.
