Platform ‘Digital Austria’
After the successful implementation of the ‘eGovernment Offensive’ which was launched in
2003 by the Federal Government, the coordination structure for eGovernment was
consolidated in autumn 2005 with the establishment of the Platform ‘Digital Austria’. The
Platform pools together the former eGovernment Platform set up in 2003 as part of the
‘eGovernment Offensive’ and the ICT Board created in 2001.
‘Digital Austria’ is a strategic platform that ensures the active participation of all levels of
Government. It is composed of representatives of the federal government, regions, cities,
municipalities, private and public sector bodies. The main tasks of the Platform are strategic
decision-making, priority setting regarding the implementation of common eGovernment
projects, their coordination and monitoring and the communication of these activities.
It is headed by the Chief Information Officer (CIO) and supported by the ICT Strategy Unit
based in the Federal Chancellery and a public relation officer. ‘Digital Austria’ provides the
operational umbrella for various task forces already active under the former ICT Board and
eCooperation Board and specific thematic working groups. Participation in all these groups
is open to representatives from all levels of government. The workload is shared amongst
its members. It strengthens the generated culture of cooperation and coordination between
all stakeholders and guarantees a sustainable development of eGovernment in Austria
through large-scale implementation of interoperable and secure solutions.
