Zweckverband Elektronische Verwaltung in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (eGo-MV)

What Zweckverband Elektronische Verwaltung in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (eGo-MV) does

Zweckverband Elektronische Verwaltung in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (eGo-MV) is a public law corporation (Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts) founded in 2006 under the Kommunalverfassung für Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, operating as the legally mandated central coordination body for eGovernment and IT services for all municipalities, counties, and state authorities in the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It maintains a portfolio organized across five categories: privacy and information security (verinice.ISMS, joint data protection officers for schools, network security via CN LAVINE); communication and infrastructure (e-invoicing / Business-Portal, beBPo special electronic authority mailbox, IT documentation with i-doit, Interamt job portal, eVergabe procurement); specialized administrative procedures (VOIS software platform, ALLRIS council information system, Autista, KITA-Planer M-V, Online-Wohngeld, document management, GIS, election management, iKfz); professional services including IT outsourcing via ProVitako and long-term archiving; and OZG/EfA digital services including Infodienste.MV, ePayBL-MV, AI services, and Smart City solutions. The technical architecture combines statewide shared infrastructure (CN LAVINE, VOIS-MV platform consolidation approved 2026), XTA-based integration with specialist procedures such as KSWohngeld and IKOL-WG, and a centralized editorial team (KIM-Kommunalredaktion MV) that produces reusable service descriptions and forms for the MV Service Portal.

The organization is funded primarily through recurring member contributions from municipalities and public entities, supplemented by fees for specific digital services (e.g., EUR 30 per attendee for eRechnung seminars) and by state and federal project grants, notably for OZG/EfA implementation. In 2026 it assumed the role of general contractor for the statewide EfA rollout of five online services under OZG 2.0, opened a new branch in Rostock, elected Christian Schulenburg as Verbandsvorsteher, and is preparing for accession by the State Government of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. With approximately 25 employees and offices in Schwerin (headquarters), Greifswald, and Rostock, eGo-MV functions less as a commercial vendor and more as a mandate-driven shared-service utility for the state's public sector, coordinating national digitalization initiatives across its 600+ institutional members.

Direct peers

• AKDB (Anstalt für Kommunale Datenverarbeitung in Bayern): Public-law IT service provider for Bavarian municipalities, offering a comparable portfolio of specialized administrative procedures (VOIS, MESO, ALLRIS, Kfz, Wahlen), eGovernment services, and member-based shared infrastructure. Highly comparable business model to eGo-MV but at the scale of Bavaria rather than Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
• KDN (Kommunale Datenverarbeitung Niederrhein): Zweckverband serving municipalities in the Lower Rhine region with IT infrastructure, administrative procedures, and eGovernment services. Same cooperative public-law model as eGo-MV, focused on shared digital administration.
• ekom21: Hessian municipal IT cooperative (Zweckverband) providing data processing, administrative software, and eGovernment services to municipalities. Same Zweckverband structure and comparable service portfolio as eGo-MV.
• KDVZ Citkomm: Municipal data processing center in North Rhine-Westphalia operating as a Zweckverband, offering IT services, eGovernment platforms, and specialized Fachverfahren to member municipalities — directly analogous to eGo-MV's mandate.
• KISA (Kommunale Informationsverarbeitung Sachsen): Zweckverband for municipal IT in Saxony, providing IT services, eGovernment solutions, and digital administration to Saxon municipalities. Directly comparable organizational form and mandate to eGo-MV in a different German state.
• govdigital: IT cooperative of German public-sector entities that handed over the nationwide OZG/EfA rollout agreement to eGo-MV for MV. Directly comparable as a public-sector IT cooperative, and a partner rather than substitute — making it a peer in operating model if not in state scope.

Broad incumbents

• Vitako: Federal association of municipal IT service providers in Germany. Broader scope than eGo-MV (industry association + procurement cooperative) but represents the same cooperative public-sector IT model at federal level; Lars Hoppmann of eGo-MV's board has spoken at Vitako events.
• Dataport: IT service provider for northern German states (including Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg) and a partner of DVZ M-V. Comparable in providing eGovernment and administrative IT services, but operating as a state-level Anstalt des öffentlichen Rechts with broader mandate and larger scale.

Regional players

• IT.NRW: State IT provider for North Rhine-Westphalia, offering administrative IT, eGovernment services, and statistical/registry systems. Comparable in function (state-level IT for public administration) but operating at much larger scale and within NRW rather than MV.

Others

• GovTech Kommunal: Initiative for digitalization in small municipalities, with MV members including Gemeinde Süderholz, Stadt Hagenow, and Amt Güstrow-Land. Thematically and structurally aligned with eGo-MV's mission but operates as a community/network rather than a service-delivery cooperative.
