Design consultation processes with openCode
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!
Why does a joint collaboration with openCode make sense?
Clear structure
Made for structured and large documents: Structured documents are the basis for efficient updating. The tools are also designed to handle large documents.
Easy collaboration
Update and manage documents together: With the tools on openCode, you can collaborate, discuss and manage documents easily and efficiently.
Direct access
From Public Administration for Public Administration: The tools have been specially developed for the needs of Public Administration and offer direct access without any hurdles.
Build a community
We help you to set up a discussion forum, a service desk and other necessary tools for the strategic and technical development of an engaged community.
