(entsprechend aufzählen)
Dabei geht es in der Regel um Austausch von Daten bzw. Transaktionen zwischen voneinander unabhängigen Akteuern (Bund, Länder, Kommunen).
Der Föderalismus führt dabei zu geteilter Verantwortung zwischen Bund, Ländern und Kommunen, die Gremienstruktur ist schwach ausgeprägt
Für die deutsche Verwaltung gibt es keine gemeinsame IT-Strategie, die über die Bewertung von Standards und die punktuelle Realisierung von Einzelverfahren deutlich hinaus geht
(auch) daraus resultierend Zusätzlich werden voneinander unabhängigen sehr unterschiedliche IT Verfahren eingesetzt. Die Definition der Grundarchitektur, des Transports und des Metaformats (wie es SAGA – verbindlich nur für die Bundesverwaltung - definiert) alleine genügt hier für eine reibungslose Verbindung der Akteure nicht.
