You can now consult the2025 edition of the CAE Report, the reference study that analyzes the degree of progress of the digital transformation of the autonomous administrations and autonomous cities of the State.
The document offers a detailed radiograph of the evolution of electronic administration in the autonomous communities, based on a set of indicators that allow the level of digital maturity of public services, technological infrastructures and internal processes of administrations to be measured.
A benchmark study to measure digital transformation
The CAE Report is part of the activity of the Electronic Administration Observatory (OBSAE) and has the support of the Sectoral Conference of Public Administration, the cooperation body that brings together the General Administration of the State, the autonomous communities, the cities of Ceuta and Melilla and the local administration in matters of digital government.
The OBSAE, through its Indicators and Measures working group, has the following main objectives:
- Monitor the evolution of electronic administration in the autonomous communities.
- Have an updated view of the digitalization status of the different administrations.
- Promote common methodologies and indicators that allow results to be compared and good practices to be shared.
- Formulate recommendations that contribute to accelerating administrative modernization and reducing differences between territories.
Seven key areas of analysis
The 2025 edition examines digital transformation from various perspectives and structures its results into seven major areas:
- Digital transformation policies.
- Electronic public services.
- Internal transformation of administrations.
- Open government.
- Technology and infrastructure.
- Personnel and ICT expenditure.
- Results and indicators of the CAE 2025.
In addition to reflecting the progress achieved by regional administrations, the report aims to become a support tool for the continuous improvement of indicators used at the European level, especially those related to digital administration monitoring studies.
A methodology based on data from multiple sources
The study was based on data provided by all the autonomous communities and the city of Ceuta through a questionnaire developed with the European Commission's EUSurvey tool. This information is complemented by official data from the Ministry of Finance, the Central Personnel Registry and other public bodies.
The report also incorporates contextual information extracted from official sources such as the National Statistics Institute (INE), the Public Sector Procurement Platform or the Accessibility Observatory, among others, with the aim of offering a more complete view of the state of digitalization of public administrations.
