    Introduction of a new digital system (ASP) in Újbuda

    The introduction of the ASP (Application Service Provider) system, which will bring significant changes to the way local administrations operate, aims to support the digital transformation of local authorities and strengthen central IT support. The development, previously part of an EU project, will focus on improving efficiency and transparency, while preserving fiscal stability. The system will be provided to local governments by the Hungarian State Treasury. The Municipality of Újbuda will implement the service from 1 January 2026. 

    The ASP system provided to municipalities is a comprehensive IT service that provides a single platform for the most important municipal tasks. This includes integrated systems for taxation, management, document management, property registration, industrial and commercial administration, and electronic customer portals. 

    One of the biggest benefits of the system is that it provides free access for local authorities, so they can switch to digital without major investment. Through central training programmes to support the roll-out, municipal staff receive detailed, professional support to ensure a smooth transition.
