Furthermore, the service of the administration is to be improved and the administrative capacity and efficiency of the administration are to be increased. These goals should be achieved through effective IT use.

The office of the Federal Government Commissioner for Information Technology is affiliated with three other committees, the chairman of which is the holder of the office.

Official

Predecessor organization KBSt

The KBSt ( Coordination and Advice Center of the Federal Government for Information Technology in the Federal Administration ) was already responsible for the cross-departmental IT coordination of the Federal Administration as well as the representation of the Federal Government in international organizations in IT matters and was merged into the CIO Bund in 2007.

The KBSt chaired the IMKA (inter-ministerial coordination committee for information technology in the federal administration) and the IVBB steering committee .

In KoopA ADV , the Coordination Committee Automated Data Processing Federal Government / states / Local area which KBSt represented the interests of the Federation.

Another task of the KBSt was the coordination of the so-called “one for all projects”. These are projects within the framework of the “ BundOnline 2005 ” initiative. These projects are central developments that are made available to the individual administrative offices as services.

The idea behind these projects was the fact that many processes are the same across departments, provided that one abstracts from the specifics of the respective department. The process for applying for and approving funding would be an example. In this case, it makes no difference to the actual IT-supported process whether it is funding in the field of agriculture or funding for voluntary activities. Therefore, with the help of one-for-all projects, synergy effects can be used and, above all, redundant developments can be avoided, which in turn saves costs.

The following one-for-all services were developed as part of BundOnline 2005:

  • Project funding information system profi Online for processing funding
  • E-procurement for the implementation of procurement measures
  • Electronic legal communication for general application procedures
  • Recruiting and recruiting
  • Preparation of political-regulatory decisions
  • Federal travel management system (TMS) for business trips
