Digital transformation is also one of the tools supporting the environmental economy, improving business efficiency and reducing costs in the following ways: reducing errors and processing times and increasing security and confidentiality. In the document on Digital Transformation Guidelines 2021-2027 (Cabinet of Ministers Order No 490 of 7 July 2021 on Digital Transformation Guidelines 2021-2027. https:\/\/likumi.lv\/ta\/id\/324715), one of the visions of the action sub-action: Fully digitised and data-driven core activities of public administration (4.4.9.3) is \"Public administrations and local authorities organise their work and cooperate exclusively digitally, using a single structured data space accessible to all authorities\". \nStarting the digital transformation process and implementing an environmental economy requires planning, strategy development and a change of thinking in the company. For this reason, it is essential to understand the current situation and readiness for change. The aim of the study is to find out the preparedness of Liepaja state municipality companies to switch to a paperless municipality. The research highlights opportunities, weaknesses and recommendations for future work.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5593\/sgem2022\/5.1\/s21.081","type":"proceedings-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,18]],"date-time":"2023-02-18T11:59:41Z","timestamp":1676721581000},"page":"645-652","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["TRANSITION TO \"PAPERLESS\" MUNICIPALITY, LIEPAJA CASE"],"prefix":"10.5593","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Lilita","family":"Abele","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Liepaja University, Circular Economy Center","place":["Latvia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dina","family":"Barute","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Liepaja University, Circular Economy Center","place":["Latvia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lasma","family":"Ulmane-Ozolina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Liepaja University, Circular Economy Center","place":["Latvia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8719-3102","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Baiba","family":"Rivza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies","place":["Latvia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3602","reference":[{"key":"ref=1","unstructured":"[1] Becker, S., Crandall, M., Coward, C., Sears, R., Carlee, R., Hasbargen, K., & Ball, M.
