The new indicator space is now available. Via Oberta

Do you know if your city council is taking full advantage of the potential of Via Oberta? Do you use all the services you are authorized to? Do you make as many inquiries as other similar municipalities? Are there procedures that still require documentation that could already be obtained automatically?

Until now, it was difficult to answer these questions. That's why we created the new Indicators Space Via Oberta, available to EACAT for all entities using the service. The aim is to help local entities to learn more about how they use interoperability and identify opportunities for improvement.

Why is it important to measure the use of Via Oberta?

Via Oberta It allows you to consult data from other administrations so that citizens do not have to provide documents that are already in the possession of the public sector. Each interoperable consultation is one less document requested from citizens, a more agile procedure and more efficient management.

But having authorized services does not guarantee that they will be used effectively. To improve interoperability, it is necessary to know which services are used, in which procedures and with what intensity.

What does the new Indicators Space allow you to do?

The dashboard offers a complete view of the activity of Via Oberta to your organization and helps you answer key management questions:

  • Which services are used the most and which are hardly used?
  • Are there authorized services that could be incorporated into more procedures?
  • The level of use of Via Oberta Is it similar to other municipalities of the same size?
  • Are there any queries or situations that should be reviewed?

The goal is not just to measure activity, but to help you identify opportunities to expand the use of interoperability and improve administrative processes.

Detect opportunities for improvement

One of the most useful functionalities is the identification of authorized services that have very low or no useFor example, a city council may discover that it has authorization to consult certain data but that these consultations are practically not used in the usual procedures. This information allows to review processes, identify training needs and make better use of the authorizations already available.

The table also shows which services are most used and in which areas the activity is concentrated. In many municipalities, consultations are especially linked to social services, aid, subsidies and benefits.

Compare with other municipalities

Data only has value when it can be contextualized. That's why the new space incorporates a comparative functionality that allows you to analyze the level of use of Via Oberta compared to other municipalities in the same population range.

This makes it easier identify good practices, detect possible areas for improvement and establish realistic goals to increase the use of interoperability.

More control and better governance

The space also incorporates indicators aimed at monitoring and controlling the service. For example, it allows for analysis What times are consultations held?, facilitating the detection of possible inappropriate uses or situations that require review, such as consultations made outside of normal working hours.

It also allows you to know which users concentrate a greater volume of queries, which helps identify training needs, excessive dependencies on certain profiles or possible usage anomalies.

In addition, it shows what percentage of queries are performed through automatic integrations and what percentage is done manually, very useful information to evaluate the degree of automation and maturity of interoperability within the organization.

The objective is to strengthen traceability, governance and the correct use of data, without adding workload to municipal teams.

A beta version in development

The Indicator Space of Via Oberta is initially published as a beta versionThe objective of this first version is to validate its usefulness with user entities and collect suggestions for improvement before its definitive consolidation.

Indicators, functionalities and visualizations may evolve based on the experience of use and the feedback received from the city councils and other user entities Via Oberta.

We encourage you to use the tool and send us your improvement proposals to continue developing a space that responds to the real needs of the local world.

Where will you find it?

To access it, simply log in to EACAT, access to Via Oberta and select the option Indicators Space in the side menu.

A tool to advance interoperability

Interoperability is a key element of the digital transformation of public administrations. It not only simplifies procedures, but also improves the citizen experience and increases internal efficiency.

The new Indicators Space Via Oberta will help you to better understand how you use the service, identify opportunities for improvement and move towards an administration that requires less documentation and makes better use of data already available in the public sector.
