LIMBAS

1. Digital sovereignty - independence that convinces

With LIMBAS, administrations retain control over their digital solutions. The platform makes them independent of proprietary software providers, reduces technological dependencies and strengthens their autonomy.

Practical example: Thanks to LIMBAS, the Main-Kinzig district has significantly reduced its dependency on commercial systems and can develop customized applications exactly according to its own requirements.

2. Strong internal collaboration and knowledge sharing

LIMBAS creates a central platform that promotes the exchange of knowledge and experience. Employees can easily share information and best practices - for more innovation and faster problem solving.

Practical example: Employees in the Main-Kinzig district use LIMBAS to build an internal network that enables the exchange of solutions and experiences. This speeds up the processing of issues and promotes innovative approaches.

3. Intuitive operation & user-friendliness

The modern, web-based interface of LIMBAS is intuitive and can be used on all end devices. This reduces training costs, increases acceptance and enables efficient workflows.

Practical example: The Office for Culture, Sport, Volunteering and Regional History uses LIMBAS to manage applications for honors. The ease of use and real-time access to information are particularly appreciated by employees.

4. Maximum expandability, integration & interoperability

LIMBAS can be flexibly connected to other open source solutions such as MediaWiki or Grafana. Open interfaces and standards guarantee seamless integration into existing IT landscapes.

Practical example: In the Main-Kinzig district, MediaWiki is used to create and directly integrate manuals for LIMBAS applications. Grafana ensures clear data visualization. Integration with the Civento platform enables smooth data exchange between different systems.

5. Increased efficiency through intelligent automation

LIMBAS automates recurring processes, reduces manual work and thus sustainably lowers operating costs - for a noticeable increase in administrative efficiency.

Practical example: In the area of personnel administration, the Main-Kinzig district was able to significantly reduce the effort involved in onboarding new employees through automated data reconciliation.

6. Flexibility thanks to low-code development

With LIMBAS, individual solutions can be created quickly and without in-depth programming knowledge. This promotes agile working methods and makes the administration adaptable to future challenges.

Practical example: specialist departments in the Main-Kinzig district develop customized applications independently - without having to rely on external IT service providers. At the same time, employees learn agile methods and thus increase their innovative strength.

7. Long-term security and easy maintainability

LIMBAS is a future-proof solution that is based on current technology standards and is continuously developed further. After the start-up phase, there is also potential for financial savings in the medium term if software that was previously licensed for a fee is gradually replaced by LIMBAS. Comprehensive, up-to-date documentation facilitates maintenance and further development - for long-term investment security.

Practical example: In the Main-Kinzig district, the LIMBAS documentation is maintained on an ongoing basis. This guarantees that applications are always up to date and new requirements can be implemented easily.


Summary:

With LIMBAS, German administrations are relying on a platform that combines efficiency, digital sovereignty and future-proofing. The positive experiences of the Main-Kinzig district show this: LIMBAS is the key to the successful, future-proof, adaptable digital transformation of administrative processes - and an investment that pays off in the long term.
