Berlin, July 27The German government has made a significant move toward digitalization by placing a massive order for Apple devices. In a deal worth up to €770 million, the Federal Ministry of the Interior’s procurement office and technology company Bechtle AG have signed a framework agreement to supply up to 300,000 Apple devices to public administrations across Germany.

Why Apple?

The choice of Apple devices was primarily driven by their advanced security features. The iNDIGO platform, on which these devices will be managed, offers comprehensive security including hardware encryption and regular security updates. Additionally, the user-friendly interface and high compatibility between devices were cited as key factors in the decision.

Implications for the Public Administration

  • Modernization: The introduction of new technology is expected to modernize the public administration and streamline processes.
  • Enhanced security: Advanced security features will provide better protection for sensitive data.
  • Standardization: A unified platform will facilitate device management and reduce IT infrastructure costs.

Critical Voices

Some critics have raised concerns about overreliance on a single supplier and privacy issues associated with using devices from a US company. Others argue that it would be more beneficial to support domestic manufacturers and open-source software solutions.

Conclusion

The German government’s decision to invest in Apple devices represents a significant step towards digitalizing public administration. While many expect increased efficiency and security, others have expressed concerns about dependency and privacy. The future will show whether this investment proves to be the right move.
