A new level of communication within the City of Stuttgart

"With the app, our education department has reached a new level of communication within the state's capital Stuttgart. Networking between trainees, students and training managers is intensified, which also increases the quality of training. Here we see how digitization can have a positive impact on our work", says Mayor Dr. Fabian Mayer, Head of the General Administration, Culture and Legal Department. Many processes that were previously organized via paper printouts and letters, especially between departments and training managers, are now controlled quickly and easily via the app.

With a message in an individual or group chat, specific groups of people such as departments, training professions or individuals can be addressed with precision. Via the newsfeed, the training managers can also pass on (daily) current information, appointments and updates, such as on deployment sites or events, to their trainees and students in a matter of seconds. "It's super easy to communicate and the quality of the information is better. There is a digital exchange in the app, which for the first time provides a direct feedback option. We see a high increase in efficiency in communication as a result because on the one hand we reach all our trainees and students faster and on the other hand we receive feedback from them much faster," emphasizes project manager Maximilian Hubl. With the mobile solution via the app, it is possible for the first time for employees to be reachable outside the municipal IT infrastructure and to have all relevant information available digitally.
