<p>On 30 August 2023, the European Commission published the official ‘aftermovie’ of the <a target="_blank" href="https://ec.europa.eu/digital-building-blocks/sites/display/OOTS/Projectathon2">second Once-Only Technical System (OOTS) Projectathon</a> (16-18 June 2023).</p>
<p>A Projectathon is a marathon of peer-to-peer interoperability and compliance tests in a structured environment. This Projectathon was a crucial step in the development, testing and deployment into production of the Once-Only Technical System components that underpin a national Once-Only implementation.</p>
<p>Once-Only will help to ease the administrative burden on EU citizens and companies, with resource savings even greater for smaller companies with more limited resources.</p>
<p>In the words of one participant, “I think this is really exciting. This is something that has never been done before, at least not on this scale, this is a very good opportunity for us as an office and as government administrators and we are very excited about this”.</p>
