A key component for smarter, more efficient public administration

Best in Class: The Federal Government’s FMS – designed for intelligent, digital processes

Digital processes reimagined – smart, fast, user-friendly

Digital processes are key to modern, service-oriented public administration. They should be seamless, efficient and easy to use – for citizens, businesses and public authorities at federal, state and local level alike. The Federal Government’s Form Management System (FMS) makes this possible: it is the central platform for the creation, management and provision of digital processes and forms. With AI support, automatic data transfer and seamless integration into specialist systems, processes become noticeably simpler, faster and more user-friendly. 

Modern features that make all the difference

The FMS combines modern technologies with ease of use and a clear objective: to make processes and forms as intelligent as possible. The FMS forms the technological basis for user-centred, future-proof administrative services.
