KommITS 2023 recently took place in Västerås. During a speaking session, Lars Scheibling from Höglandets IT and Tomas Beijar from Frends shared insights on how the use of master data ensures efficient digitalization of various systems used by Höglandet’s local association of municipalities – and demonstrated how other municipalities can do the same.
Several reports in the media indicate that the Swedish public sector is lagging in terms of sharing open data. And there is a growing need to proactively work with master databases in the public sector to address this. Such a strategy not only facilitates secure digitalization efforts but also increases efficiency and promotes a smooth digital transition for various operational systems.
