Use Case

Design consultation processes with openCode

Collaboration in a modern, digital process!

Decide more transparently, faster and better - with modern consultation processes using openCode. From IT-architecture-guidelines to public participation, our platform creates the framework for successful collaboration in Public Administration.

The challenge

Administrations are regularly faced with decisions that affect various interest groups. Conventional coordination processes are often time-consuming, lack transparency and do not reach all key stakeholders. This often leads to delays, low acceptance and unused expertise.

Our solution

With a Toolkit for consultation, openCode offers a solution for Public Administration. Here, representatives from business, politics, science and society can work together on guidelines, standards and decisions - openly, comprehensibly and collaboratively.

The toolbox

Quality-assured and barrier-free automated document processing - made easy with CI-Components!

Collaborative work

One place for your projects!

Create accessible PDF-documents together

CI-Components to maintain documents!

You can get started immediately with the component for creating documents. The PDF is automatically created in an accessible or even barrier-free format.
