The Commission for the Reform of Public Administrations (CORA) was created by the Council of Ministers Agreement of 26 October 2012, with the objective of converting our public administrations into a factor of The competitiveness of the Spanish economy, for which it proposed more than 200 measures of rationalisation of structures, procedures and resources, reflected in its final report presented to the Government of Spain in June 2013.

More than half of these measures are, directly or indirectly, actions related to Information and Communications Technologies (ICT). Numerous studies support a strong correlation between this digitisation process and the improvements in global competitiveness and productivity of societies and countries. It can therefore be said that the CORA report pursues, in a determined manner, the acceleration of the process of digitisation of Spanish public administrations as a whole.

One of the most important actions already undertaken in this line, is the implementation of a new model of ICT Governance in the General Administration of the State (AGE), developed first, with the creation, through Royal Decree 695/2013 of 20 September, of a new senior management figure with transversal competences for all the AGE and its Public Bodies, the Information and Communications Technologies Directorate (DTIC), with a range of Sub-secretariat, then restructured and organically integrated in the Ministry of Finance and General government by Royal Decree 802/2014 of 19 September 2014.

And secondly, through the organic development of this new model of Governance, through Royal Decree 806/2014, of September 19, which, together with the figure already mentioned by the DTIC, defines a series of collegiate and units that will implement policies for the rationalization and transformation of ICT in the field of the State Administrative Public Sector.

Among these bodies will be the Digital Administration's Ministerial Commissions, which will inherit from the current Ministerial Electronic Administration Commissions, and which will become the units responsible for implementing the ministerial level, the common ICT policies previously defined by the competent bodies, as well as the digital transformation of each ministerial department and its public bodies attached.
