The June \u201cFuture of Government and Administration\u201d Congress focused on the question of how to create a digitally capable government\u2014through administrative modernization, reducing bureaucracy, and effective collaboration between politics, government, and the private sector. For the German-speaking SAP User Group, what\u2019s needed are solutions that work in the day-to-day operations of government agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The strategies for the digital government have long been in place\u2014the key is implementation. We are no longer debating the \u201eif\u201c of digitalization, but rather the \u201ehow\u201c under real-world conditions. This is where the gap lies. In practice, many organizations are simultaneously working with existing SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, driving the transition to SAP S\/4HANA, building hybrid cloud architectures, and exploring the use of AI. This parallelism makes the transformation highly complex from an organizational standpoint. What is missing are robust operational and migration models that enable shared structures, standards, and procedures. This can create synergies and ensures that the burden is not shifted onto each individual organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cloud, AI, and data strategies are set at the policy level\u2014but their implementation often falls short due to operational realities. Requirements related to sovereignty, security, and regulatory mandates mean that cloud transformations are progressing more slowly than planned. The same is true for AI: The challenge rarely lies in the technology itself, but rather in poor data quality, insufficient integration into existing system landscapes, and unclear governance structures. Data is the foundation for digital transformation and the effective use of AI. But even the best data foundation delivers no added value if it is not available across systems, standardized, and embedded in end-to-end processes. What is needed are clear, actionable frameworks: reliable cloud models that ensure data sovereignty and security, binding standards for data integration, and practical governance guidelines for AI deployment. This is a challenge for policymakers, government agencies, and providers alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Digital sovereignty is not determined by strategy papers, but by concrete architectural and operational decisions. Public administration must retain control over data, applications, and infrastructure at all times. In the tension between hyperscalers and European solutions, the issue is less about absolute sovereignty than about conscious risk assessment and genuine freedom of choice. From DSAG\u2019s perspective, clear criteria, transparent providers, and the technical ability to switch\u2014for example, through standardized architectures and robust exit strategies\u2014are essential. This is particularly crucial in the SAP environment, which serves as the digital backbone of many government agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Federal structures must not hinder digitalization. Uniform software and data standards are crucial for unlocking efficiency potential and truly scaling administrative processes. DSAG sees great opportunities, particularly in standardized solutions and EfA approaches\u2014the key now is consistent implementation across all levels of government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An effective government is characterized by end-to-end processes, clean data, and implementable architectures. Additional strategy papers are of no help if practical implementation is lacking. Transformation is not a one-time project, but rather an ongoing practical effort\u2014only in this way can the potential of modern IT truly be harnessed for the benefit of citizens.
