The proprietary IT systems currently used for bookkeeping in the Free State of Saxony are reaching their limits. Some well-known examples include the cash accounting procedure (KABU) and the funds management procedure (SaxMBS). These are technologically obsolete at the end of their life cycle. As a result, the Cabinet decided in July 2020 to comprehensively modernize the bookkeeping systems and build a new, future-proof statewide bookkeeping platform.
One of the most urgent tasks was to map the incoming electronic invoices in a suitable workflow that did not create media discontinuity. The EU plans to make this mandatory in the public administration systems of the EU member states.
T-Systems has found the ideal solution in the form of a hybrid SAP and Pega solution, which will help us to make our bookkeeping landscape modern and fit for the future.
The Free State of Saxony is Germany's seventh-largest state by population, with around four million residents. Groundbreaking projects for the future are on the agenda of the state government in 2023 and 2024. About 20 percent of the budget is allocated to education. But there are also plans to expand infrastructures and advance the transition to renewable energies. The two-year budget sets aside 49.3 billion euros in budgetary funds for this purpose – a record volume.
