The "digital" is in favor of the population, businesses and organizations

Digitization is not an end in itself. The focus is on theutility for the population, businesses and organizations, who must have simple and user-friendly access to the services of the authorities (for example, via the information portal ch.ch, which was renewed last year).
With seamless digitized performance, theFederal Administration can provide its services better and more efficiently. In the 2022 this perspective will be even more at the center of attention of the Government.
To successfully accomplish your digital transformation, the Swiss Confederation must work more on the network. Joint management of affairs forms an important basis in this direction.
Since last year all units of theFederal Administration they use the same application (GEVER, from "GEschäftsVERwaltung“) for the management of their affairs.
Thanks to the uniform electronic management of tasks, administrative units can now collaborate seamlessly with each other.

Data and interface form important foundations, thanks to “I14Y”

In 'Administration we need to continue to demonstrate the evidence that data is a strategic asset in the service of the public.
Last year the Federal Council has taken an important step in this area adopting the foundations of data policy and data governance.
Thus the Confederation regulates the ways in which theFederal Administration uses and shares data, always taking into account of data protection.
Electronic interfaces are another important element of digital transformation.
Authorities must therefore primarily offer their services via an electronic interface; the population and businesses will also benefit.
With the so-called I14Y interoperability platform,Federal Statistical Office is preparing a relevant public list.
Customers find all the services of the public authorities and the electronic interfaces of the Federal Administration in one place.

With the "TDT" sector, the road is traced in public bodies

Il 2021 it was a year in which questions were asked foundations of the digital transformation in the Administration.
Within the Federal Chancellery the new sector was established “Digital Transformation and ICT Governance (TDT)".
Digitization is an important topic at all levels of the Swiss Confederation and is treated systematically.
Last year the delegation of Federal Council "Digitization and ICT” dealt primarily with theelectronic identity, the interaction between digitization and federalism and digitization in the health sector.
These priorities were also reflected in the meetings of the Advisory Board in 2021. However, the meeting on digitization in the health sector had to be postponed due to the pandemic situation.
The draft electronic identity is of particular importance to the Confederation, the cantons and the communes. With a broad involvement of interested circles, the foundations were laid for astate electronic identity.
To make the digital transformation faster and more effective at the three levels of the State, Confederation, the cantons and the communes they set up the new organization”Digital Administration Switzerland"(ADS), which closely coordinates its activity with that of the sector TDT.
Le Swiss administrations they collaborate with ADS so that the population profits from digitalisation.
In this context, another important organization is the National Cyber ​​Security Center (NCSC), Competence center of the federal government for information security and the first interlocutor for the economy, theAdministration, educational institutions and the population for questions regarding cyber attacks and cyber security.
