Towards the idea of a one-stop-administration: Experiences Patrik Hitzelberger, CRP – Gabriel Lippmann Luxembourg Lefis workshop Münster, March 9, 2004
Index • Background • Statistics and background of the project • The project « RCS » • Fundamental reorganisation of the Luxembourg Register(s) of Companies • Steps towards the « One-stop administration » • Lessons learned & perspectives
Background Statistics about Luxembourg • Surface: 2500km² • Population: 450.000, 38% foreigners (1981: 370.000 / 26%) • 3 official languages • GNP/head: 45.000€ (EU: 25.000€)
Background Conclusions • « Mini » state, but: • High economic and population growth rates • Multicultural and multilingual environment • Political and administrative system complete and comparable to the neighbours (same functions, less « instances » of administrations). • Small, rich, and European society Ideal and model country for E-Government ? (yes and no: …)

The project RCS RCS = Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés = Register of Companies
The project RCSMotivation (1/2) « Business cases » of the RCS Luxembourg 1990-2000 RCS = « Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés » = Register of Companies
The project RCSMotivation (year 2000) (2/2) • 2 public registers in Lux. (ministry of justice) • 80.000 companies registered • 100% paper based • Low quality of data (even loss) • Unacceptable response times (up to months for a certificate of registration) • Low customer satisfaction (no confidence) & • Good starting point for « guichet unique » : one-stop administration for business users
The project RCSRemedies… • Reorganisation&Research project 2001-2004 • Fundamental reorganisation of the RCS in terms of • New law • New operating model (PPP) and new staff • New forms and procedures • Online availability (to a certain extend…) • Consolidation to one register • Development of internal IT system • Digitisation of existing records (ongoing, only data for the certificates) • Simplification of overall process (of company formation) by implicating other organisations
The project RCSNew law and new legal form • New law replacing text from 1909 • New legal form of the register: Creation of a GIE*) consisting of Ministry of Justice and the two professional chambers to operate the (one) new register. New accounting and feeshigh flexibility combined with public control • The law allows the chambers to carry out registration for their members prepares a « one-stop » procedure *) Groupement d’intérêt économique = economic interest group
The project RCSNew forms and procedures • « Classical » internal BPR project for well structured processes (rare) • 4 basic procedures (« database »), but depends on level of detail (dozens modelled) • Structured forms (did not exist before). (Much new data).Usage mandatory
The project RCSNew operating model: PPP « Private » « Public » Professional chambers Ministry of Justice Administration board 50% 50% Modifications RCS CIE*) Operating&technical control • GIE • New staff • Private employees Oracle database *) Centre informatique de l‘état
The project RCSOnline services (1/2) • Chiefly information oriented • File&Print approach for forms • Simple read access to database • Transactional service was low prio (cf. user groups)
The project RCSOnline services (2/2) • Name / RCS numbers available • Acquisition of all data of existing companies is ongoing • Background re-organisation seems to be more important than distribution channel

One-stop administrationRCS as starting point… • Technically seen, the RCS is a good starting point (creation and collection of main data in the formation process) • Political support and high motivation of the professional chambers to start and support the project • Digitisation of the RCS was indispensable to realise any further step towards integrated services

One-stop administrationCharacteristics of the model • One common counter • One physical location • Mixed counter staff from both agencies with identical responsibilities • Back-offices of both agencies • One number of registration, one receipt • Separated IT systems (requirement of AED)
Results and lessons learnedReorganisation of the RCS • Deep back office reorganisation of the RCS was extremely efficient • Prerequisite 1: New legal form of the register, new law, (new staff?) • Prerequisite 2: Deployment of IT • The industry-like processes of the RCS allowed a « standard » BPR approach • Change management was difficult • new and old structures operating parallel, • law did not pass as early as planned • IT was delayed
Results and lessons learnedRCS and beyond: One-stop… • Optimisation of RCS took into account needs and processes of collaborating agencies • Overall process has been regarded in order to avoid local optimisations • Inter-organisational overall process of enterprise formation is much more complicated than the RCS internal one • « E-government is more about government than about “e”. » (OECD). (?) • On the other hand: Difficult integration of legacy IT systems in different agencies
Results and lessons learnedPerspectives • Realisation of common RCS-AED counter is on hold • Chambers will extend their „formality centres“ to benefit from the now available technical and organisational infrastructure • Research to integrate further administrations in the process is ongoing • Focus on distribution channel and electronic service provision • Integration in eLuxembourg portal
