Data-Driven Government in the Public Sector

Federal responsibilities and heterogeneous IT landscapes encourage multiple developments and make reuse more difficult. Standards are interpreted differently by different players, and external IT service providers act according to differing process models and quality criteria. This increases the risks in the areas of compliance, security and operation.

A governance model defines clear responsibilities and decision-making paths. Coordinated standards for architecture, data and information security are mandatory for new developments. A roadmap defines the steps up to full application of the standards, including for existing processes. External IT service providers are integrated into quality control.

We work with you to develop a pragmatic operating model with a focus on feasibility and effectiveness. To this end, we identify existing control problems, define a target image and derive processes and uniform standards from this. As part of this process, we anchor architecture reviews, establish risk management and define key figures as the basis for management.

We work with you to develop the strategic guidelines for effective governance. To this end, we clarify roles and responsibilities, establish committees and decision-making and escalation channels and define binding standards for architecture, data and information security. We structure your portfolio and develop prioritization mechanisms. The result is an operating model that supports federated structures and accelerates implementation.

Together with you, we translate standards into concrete workflows. We develop guidelines, templates and test routines, set up review boards and define quality and security checks along the life cycle of your digital products. At the same time, we establish consistent portfolio reporting and effective risk management. This reduces the number of variants, makes decisions comprehensible and ensures that projects remain compatible with one another.

We support you in properly organizing service provider management and handovers to regular operations. To this end, we define requirements, control mechanisms and responsibilities in such a way that external services are integrated into your governance. In this way, the transition from implementation to operation is controllable and performance is stable in the long term.
