This table here below aims at providing an overview of all the initiatives, such as the political communications, guidelines, and legislation, related to interoperability that have been put in place in Switzerland.
National Interoperability Framework
The National Interoperability Framework (NIF) is a set of standards, policies, and guidelines that ensure that information and communication technology (ICT) systems can communicate and share data seamlessly. It promotes the development of interoperable systems that facilitate data exchange and collaboration between different organizations and levels of government. The NIF provides a common language and a framework for ensuring that ICT solutions are compatible, secure, and reliable, which enhances the efficiency of public services and improves citizen outcomes.
Other Initiatives
The implementation of the Swiss eGovernment Strategy is supplemented by the Swiss eGovernment Architecture Project (eGovCH), which develops standards and architectures to promote electronic cooperation across administrations in the country at all levels.
Year: 2020
The eGovernment Architecture creates the prerequisites that enable the Confederation, the cantons and the municipalities to independently produce building blocks, which, together, result in a functioning eGovernment offer. Moreover, it is easily accessible for clients and can be used efficiently.
Year: 2020
Based on the 2020-2023 Implementation Plan, a target architecture is being developed for the current strategy period, focussing on new elements that will be created by the end of 2023 and incorporated into the overall architecture. These elements, which are part of the implementation objectives and influence, complete and extend the eGovernment system or landscape (systems, standards, concepts, architectures, etc.), are the following: Portal architecture; Electronic identification (eID) system; National data infrastructure; Register for the public; and eCH standards.
