Municipalities

Municipalities, as essential administrative structures, face a variety of challenges, including cyber security and digital modernization. SITA Airport IT offers tailor-made solutions to meet these requirements and support local authorities in their sovereign tasks.

overview

What characterizes the industry?

Municipalities are characterized in particular by their sovereign tasks. These are services that can only be provided by a municipality and not by a company. Furthermore, local authorities are very closely networked with each other and must process highly sensitive personal data securely. Not least due to the E-Government Act, they face the challenge of having to modernize and digitize.

challenges

What are the IT challenges facing local authorities?

Networked structures

The need for strong networking between the various services and authorities creates many interfaces between a wide variety of systems. The development and management of these interfaces and the secure management of complex networks present IT service providers with major challenges.

Cybersecurity & data protection

Local authorities process masses of sensitive personal data and are therefore a popular target for hackers and blackmailers. The requirements for cyber security measures are extremely high and must be implemented professionally. Data protection is the top priority. Inadequate protection can cause enormous economic and social damage.

Digitization compulsion

Not least due to the E-Government Act, local authorities are forced to modernize and digitize their processes in order to meet the increasing demands and comply with legal requirements.

Cost pressure

As the work of municipal services and authorities is financed exclusively by taxpayers' money, local authorities are subject to particular cost pressure. All expenditure must be justifiable and all projects must be implemented in the most resource-efficient way possible.
