XML in public administration

Glossary page

XML-based eGovernment defines specialized standards for electronic data exchange in public administration. These standards, known as XÖV standards, enable seamless execution of electronic business processes. An XÖV framework has been developed to provide the basis for the development of these standards. It contains core rules designed to achieve the goals of "interoperability improvement," "cost reduction for XÖV standardization, and project risk." The XÖV framework also serves as a basis for the coordination of XÖV activities. The guidelines and project procedures described in the framework are to be applied in the technical standardization work of the public administration, especially in the development of cross-national standards. This is intended to improve and significantly advance the implementation of standardization projects.

From six hours to 60 minutes: AI agent accelerates analysis work

Companies store enormous amounts of data, yet much of its potential often remains unused. Information is spread across dozens of databases and applications in different formats. Studies by McKinsey and the Microsoft Work Trend Index show that employees spend around a quarter of their working day simply searching for information. T-Systems addresses this data labyrinth: the platform “Talk to your data” searches, links, analyzes, and visualizes data with the help of an AI agent. Corporate knowledge becomes instantly accessible through a simple chat interface. Initial pilot projects already demonstrate significant efficiency gains. The time required for complex analyses has been reduced from six hours to less than 60 minutes.
