Due to the changed global political situation, digital sovereignty is a priority goal for every organization. The city of Munich has developed a simple method for measuring digital sovereignty and has derived measures based on this. In our talk, we will present the measurement method, planned measures, and how FOSS can help achieve this goal.
With 43,000 employees, the City of Munich administration is the largest employer in the city and has its own comprehensive IT provider. With our own data center, we have the opportunity to achieve a high degree of digital sovereignty. In order to systematically increase our digital sovereignty, we have developed a measurement method that evaluates various criteria. In our talk, we will show how the measurement method is used and what measures have been derived from it. We will place a special focus on measures that promote the use of FOSS.
