When people and organizations need to be securely identified, data and documents need to be transmitted securely, confidentially and in a legally binding manner, and integrity and authenticity need to be securely verified: As a product of the IT Planning Council, Anwendung Governikus provides the public sector, the judiciary (and other administration-related organizations and institutions) at all federal levels with various standard products as basic services and functional modules that support the implementation of digitization projects.

The digitization of the administration, as envisaged in the course of implementing the OZG, can only succeed if all federal levels are networked via applications, interfaces and cooperation options. In the context of OZG implementation, impulses from the digitization labs, among others, and not least with regard to EU connectivity, additional needs have arisen for further service-oriented standard modules as integral elements of a federal platform architecture.

Accelerating and facilitating OZG implementation, reusability and EU connectivity within the framework of the SDG Regulation: these were the objectives on which the "Services of Anwendung Governikus as integral services for OZG implementation" project financed from the digitization budget was based.

Successful project completion for even more service orientation

In addition to the continuous further development and maintenance of Anwendung Governikus , the project also addressed developments and concepts that, for example, facilitate OZG processes with co-signing obligations, consistently embed user accounts and are geared towards the requirements of the European Commission's Single Digital Gateway Regulation. The focus here was on developing easy-to-consume interfaces and libraries as well as solutions for transferring data from portal solutions to XTA and eDelivery infrastructures. These implementations are available to all federal states, local authorities and the (German) Federal Government as functional components of Anwendung Governikus .

"Between August 2020 and November 2021, we did a lot of conceptualization, evaluation and development, held numerous workshops, created tutorials and handouts for our customers. And thus created further approaches that are indispensable in the context of future-oriented administration digitization," explains Stefan Rauner (General Portfolio Manager, Authorized Signatory - Governikus).
