Magdeburg (dpa/sa) – By the end of the year, particularly important administrative services should be made available digitally nationwide. However, it is still unclear whether all 35 applications from the so-called booster list in Saxony-Anhalt will actually have been rolled out by then.
“We will try to make the 35 services that are to be made available nationwide by the end of the year available as quickly as possible for subsequent use,” said the state government’s commissioner for information and communication technology, Digital State Secretary Bernd Schlömer, on Monday in Magdeburg. However, December 31, 2022 will not be the deadline. “Online access is not a deadline, but an ongoing task.”
The fact that the digitization of the administration is taking longer than planned is not new. In 2017, the federal and state governments agreed to provide 575 services via the Internet by the end of this year. According to the so-called one-for-all principle, individual federal states develop the services in a specific subject area in such a way that everyone else can use them. Saxony-Anhalt is in charge of education, for example, while the federal government is responsible for 115 processes. It has long been clear that the schedule cannot be met. In May, the IT planning council therefore decided to prioritize the 35 particularly important services.
Not on the list of priority processes, but according to Schlömer an “important building block” for digitization, is the application for digital surveying in Saxony-Anhalt presented on Monday. Services such as building surveys or boundary determination can now also be applied for online. In addition, a map function is integrated, which can also be used as a module for other digital offers of the state and the municipalities. Further digital services in surveying are to follow.
It took around seven months to implement the blueprint for the measurement application in such a way that the application corresponds to the legal situation in Saxony-Anhalt. Against the background of data protection guidelines, for example, the execution was quick, according to the State Office for Surveying and Geoinformation. According to Schlömer, around 110 services of the online access law for Saxony-Anhalt have been developed so far.
