Digital turnaround in the Spree-Neiße district: Administration 2030 will be citizen-oriented!

Things are going digital in the Spree-Neiße district! The “Digital District Administration Spree-Neiße 2030” initiative is gaining momentum and promises a fundamentally modernized administration. According to Radio Cottbus The administration strives to offer citizen-oriented, digital and future-proof services that are simple, fast and transparent. From 2026, all administrative services should be available online, understandable and barrier-free – around the clock and on mobile devices.

The vision includes simplifying administrative procedures, reducing waiting times and making information easier to find. The developments aim to modernize internal processes and establish digital processes that make paper and duplicate work steps unnecessary. We are also working on more efficient collaboration between departments.

Focus on professional conditions

A not insignificant part of the strategy is the creation of modern working conditions in order to attract and retain skilled workers in the long term. Setting up mobile workstations, using modern technology and targeted further training are key aspects of these changes. Data protection and information security are also very important to ensure crisis-proof administration.

The administration is responding to the shortage of skilled workers, which is a particularly threatening issue in the public sector, with a realignment. After all, they are loud Taylor Wessing There are over 500,000 public sector jobs unfilled, and this number is expected to continue to rise until 2030. Demographic change is exacerbating the situation as many experienced employees are retiring.

Technological support

This is where technology comes into play: the use of modern technologies, for example artificial intelligence (AI), could significantly increase the efficiency and citizen-friendliness of administration. Areas of application for AI include digital application processes, improved communication with citizens and internal workflow management. But implementation has its pitfalls, such as the need for training and legal hurdles that need to be overcome.

The challenges of the digitalization strategy should not be underestimated. Regulatory requirements, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), must be observed at every step. In addition, close cooperation with procurement lawyers and IT lawyers is essential, as is the case DO executes. The procurement of AI systems must also be carefully planned - sustainability and a strategic approach are central.

The district administration invites all citizens, employees and politicians to actively shape the digital change. In this way, each individual can contribute their part in the new, digital age. We can't wait to see what progress will be achieved by 2030!
