A recently published german study of 2,131 municipalities surveyed sheds light on the progress of digital transformation in public administration.  

These key findings from the study show the challenges faced by municipalities: 

• Almost 90% of municipalities have insufficient human resources for the digital transformation.
• Digitization of internal work tools offers great opportunities to increase efficiency.
• There is a particular need for the digitalization of documents, administrative processes, internal collaboration and digital workplaces.
• In view of the high personnel costs in Switzerland, digital transformation is essential for municipalities in order to increase efficiency and create attractive jobs.  

This means that many Swiss municipalities will still be facing major challenges in the digital transformation in 2024. 

But where there are challenges, there are also opportunities.
