Facilitate cloud-enabled government
The administration plans to use a combination of private and public cloud infrastructures (hybrid multi-cloud approach). In order to do justice to the significance and the challenges of cloud technology in the context of its use by the administration, the federal government, cantons, cities and municipalities are working together. They are taking a holistic approach to the interdisciplinary issues of cloud use by actively involving civil society, politics, business and science. The focus here is on the topics of law, data protection, empowerment and digital sovereignty.
Projects
Identifying the need to develop expertise in cloud governance on a joint basis
The project examines the need to develop expertise on a joint basis (including sharing experiences, networking of experts) and for joint cloud services among the administrations of all three levels of government (whether jointly procured or developed). Possible forms of cooperation between the three levels of government and the necessary institutional foundations will be developed based on the outcome of this examination. Possible forms of cooperation could include joint procurement (such as digital marketplaces), offering joint services, or joint development of tools, knowledge platforms and communication platforms.
