The Municipality of Eggerding in Upper Austria has fewer inhabitants than many companies do employees. The local municipal office\u2019s staff of just nine love their familiarity with the citizenry and wouldn\u2019t think of working any other way\u2026 But a few years ago they thought to themselves that it might be nice to have a little bit less paperwork.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

How a small municipality benefits from digitization – from outdated computers to modern administrative technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eggerding is home to about 1,340 people. How much work could that really be? A whole lot, as it turns out! After all, the municipal office of Eggerding handles much more than the tasks typical of a local administration. The four administrative employees are responsible for all public duties in the municipality: Building office, citizens registration office, civil registry\u2026 The same tasks as in municipalities with 10,000 inhabitants \u2013 all under one modest roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4000 invoices make their way across their desks every single year. More invoices than in many mid-sized businesses, but with much less accounting staff. This was reason enough to transform large piles of paper into ones and zeros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A leap forward in time: In 2017 when Kerstin B\u00fcrkl became office director, she immediately noticed how outdated the infrastructure within the municipal office was. Computers and monitors were old-fashioned but besides this, one thing in particular caught her eye: \u201cThere were big piles of paper in every corner, and they took up more space in the office than there was for working. This had built up slowly over the years, until entire areas of the building were suddenly taken up by files and folders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Soon after a desire for digitization became clear, the digital document management system was introduced at lightning speed. In early 2019, the municipal office of Eggerding bade farewell to the piles of paperwork by scanning and shredding thousands of papers. Up to that point, with such a drastic leap from outdated computers to modern administrative technology, we asked ourselves: How long would the workers need to get used to this transition?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe training of the workers for the new software was impeccable,\u201d says Kerstin B\u00fcrkl. \u201cOrientation could hardly have gone faster. My coworkers in accounting and in citizens\u2019 services were very enthusiastic. And this happened even though we had only very slight knowledge of digital processes and solutions of this type beforehand. Of course, it helped that the software is very easy to understand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

With the digital document management system, we can find everything that we need with a single click: Invoices, delivery slips, correspondence \u2013 everything is in a single place. Never again will we have to go through several rooms or shelves to complete a single task.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
