Public administration

An administration handles requests, processes case files and issues documents. Successful digitalisation is not putting a PDF form online: it is a case that moves forward and whose status the citizen can see.

Stakes

What weighs on the trade

  • Volume of paper files and processing times
  • Citizens travelling for simple procedures
  • Traceability and accountability of decisions
  • Continuity of service despite power and network outages

Critical operations

What must not stop

  • Submission and registration of requests
  • Processing and approval workflow
  • Issuing official documents
  • Collection of fees and taxes
  • Archiving and consultation

Why digitalise

What technology changes here

The main gain is not online data entry but the removal of back-and-forth: an incomplete file is detected at submission, not three weeks later at the counter.

What can be automated

  • Completeness checks at submission
  • Automatic routing to the right processing department
  • Reminders on files waiting for a document
  • Generation of instruments and documents from the file
  • Notification to the citizen at each change of status

Our approach

A typical path in this sector

  1. Choosing a pilot procedure

    A high-volume procedure with low legal complexity, to obtain a visible result quickly.

  2. Modelling the workflow

    Case statuses, roles, deadlines and required documents formalised with the case officers.

  3. Go-live

    Opening the portal and the back office, with the counter kept open for a period.

  4. Extension

    Subsequent procedures reuse the same case and approval foundation.
