The Municipal Information Processing Saxony (KISA) is a special purpose association of Saxon municipalities based in Leipzig .

history

After the reunification of Germany , the budget, cash and accounting regulations applicable in the western federal states, the cameralistics , were also introduced in the Saxon municipalities . The Free State of Saxony based its local regulations on the corresponding experiences in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. Therefore, it was a simple step for the Saxon municipalities to use appropriate financial software, which was also used by the municipalities in these federal states.

In 1990, for example, the Saxon City and Municipal Council signed a contract with the Baden-Württemberg data center to provide the mainframe computer system FIWES free of charge. The processing took place in regional, privately operated data centers (e.g. GEK / Complex [later Saskia Informations-Systeme ] for the southern business area). Since this tax-funded product was not to be offered by a private company and the municipalities were to retain control over their data, its use was only permitted on a temporary basis. For this reason, three data purpose associations (Zweckverband Kommunale Datenverarbeitung Ostsachsen (KDO), Zweckverband Kommunale Datenverarbeitung Westsachsen (ZKDW) and Zweckverband Datenverarbeitung in Südsachsen (DVS)) were founded on the initiative of the Saxon City and Municipal Council and the data center. However, not all parishes took this step. In 1995 the data center of the city of Leipzig (later Lecos GmbH) was commissioned with data center, printing and shipping services by all special-purpose associations. As before, the Baden-Württemberg FIWES program was used. In accordance with the legal requirements, corresponding HKR programs require approval by the Saxon Institute for Communal Data Processing (SAKD). The approval for FIWES ended in April 2003. The North Rhine-Westphalian KIRP program was intended as a replacement for this and as a program for the Doppik, which will be mandatory from 2013 (and introduced from 2005). In order to be able to cope with the associated investments and to be able to use the corresponding synergy effects, the three associations joined together on January 1, 2004 to form the special purpose association KISA - Municipal Information Processing Saxony. At the time the association was founded, it had 251 members, consisting of 5 districts, 215 municipalities and other associations and associations. In 2004 the association looked after around 600 customers with over 70 employees.

In addition to the HKR software, KISA offered all software products and IT services required for municipal administration. Thus, among other things, specialist programs for civil status and registration, trade office, payroll accounting, administrative offenses are offered and the hardware is provided for the communities.

However, KIRP did not receive the necessary approval in the area of ​​asset accounting and the adjustment to the legal requirements of the state of Saxony was more difficult than planned. So there was a risk that the association could not offer its community a usable software product for the communal double-entry system. In 2006 the owners of the Saxon HKR software provider SASKIA Informationssysteme sold their company for reasons of age. 90% of this was acquired by Envia Mitteldeutsche Energie subsidiary GISA GmbH and 10% by KISA. As a result, Saskia and KISA coordinated their marketing and sales activities. In particular, from 2007 KISA took over the HKR software from SASKIA and made it available to the municipalities under the name IFRSachsen.KISA.

In 2009, the 50% stake in Kommunalen Datennetz GmbH (KDN) was increased to 100% by taking over the shares of the previous co-shareholders Landkreistag, Städt- und Gemeindetag and SAKD. The KDN GmbH operates the network, which is intended for Saxon municipalities and schools, and is secured in the direction of the open Internet. In 2010, the Zweckverband took a 10% stake in the Leipzig computing center Lecos GmbH.

At the end of 2013 it became known that the association had got into economic difficulties. A loss of around 7 million euros had been accumulated. The municipalities involved in the association were obliged to compensate for the losses through corresponding allocations. In the course of 2013, the stake in SASKIA Informationssysteme GmbH was also sold to GISA.

In 2015 the association had 284 members (9 rural districts, 243 municipalities and 32 municipal associations and companies).
