Public sector

We assist public sector bodies and churches with the digitalisation process. Drawing on their profound knowledge, our industry-specific advisory teams provide support for digitalisation projects, from strategy to planning to execution, in both core areas and administrative areas. They consider the IT aspects and the process aspects, and convert them into realistic steps for implementation using modern project and acceptance management methods.

We optimise your SAP and MACH based administrative processes.

In the public and church sector, SAP, MACH and DATEV systems are often in use. These existing ERP systems have to be adapted, expanded and connected for ongoing digitalisation and to integrate processes. Portal connections, VAT compliant processes, electronic invoicing, digital tendering and procurement, and a self-service orientation in the areas of finances and personnel are only some of the challenges. Then there are interactive reporting and the integration of document management systems as well as many other tasks that belong to the further development of existing ERP systems or to introducing new ones.

We can either monitor and control your projects or assist you with it.

Projects are becoming more complex due to the ever closer interactions between organisational, business and IT issues. Digitalisation also often requires projects to be run in parallel, which means taking account of the interactions and dependencies between them. A full list of projects accompanied by complex multi-project management can soon arise out of individual projects.

Let us assist you with your projects with a traditional and/or agile approach or with a combined project-specific solution. Our certified advisors employ various tools such as PRINCE2, PMI and agile project management. At the same time, we’ll assist you with change management, which contributes to the acceptance of the changes by providing information and fostering communication and participation. We offer a variety of templates and tools for managing your projects, which, once individually adapted, contribute to increased clarity and control. And our many years of experience mean we can identify risks early and counter them with appropriate measures.

We’ll advise you on all your questions concerning finances.

In public sector organisations and institutions and those financed by donations, commercial accounting methods in budgeting and accounting are combined with payment-based government accounting methods. Presenting the economic and financial situation in the balance sheet and income statement and in the form of a particular budget presentation and/or proofs of spending from fund providers requires integrated consideration from the business, administrative and IT perspectives. And this complexity is only increased by the growth in regulatory requirements, e.g., the stipulations of subsidy law and the requirements of s.2 of the German VAT Act (UStG).

By specialising according to industry and taking a multidisciplinary approach, we can offer you a total integration of services, from explaining technical questions to adapting processes and IT to assisting with planning and financial statement processes.

We are your organisation experts for the public and church sector.

How an organisation continues to develop, both in terms of its processes and its organisational structure, is becoming an ever greater factor in the success of projects due to the changes in conditions that have taken place and the march of digitalisation. Public sector budgeting rules also require financial activity to be regularly checked.

Our industry-specific consulting teams are familiar with the standard procedures and protocols, such as those of the German Interior Ministry organisation manual, and are able to assist technical and administrative departments with carrying out organisational analyses, reorganisations, designing processes, headcount planning and efficiency studies. To visualise the current and envisaged state of processes, we use Signavio and other methods and tools that are widely used in the public sector.
