HERA project results will be disseminated to the "Swiss e-Government Architecture Community" (SEAC), which has been put in place by the Eidgenössiches Finanzdepartment (EFD) and its ISB organization.
The community comprises partners from industry, governmental authorities, and from academia and aims to define guidelines for next-generation IT architectures in the Swiss public sector.
HERA project members will be actively involved in this group.
According to the e-Government Strategy released in 2007, the e-Government Architecture has to support the following main targets:
- Companies handle all communication with the authorities electronically.
- All Swiss authorities have their business processes modernized and communicate among themselves electronically.
- Individuals are enabled to handle the most important cases with the authorities electronically.
- The e-Government architecture is planned by the e-Government Architecture Community and implemented locally by each authority.
- Architectures, which are overlapping/ interfering with the e-Government architecture, are coordinated among the members of the e-Government architecture community.
The Swiss e-Government Architecture Community (SEAC) is the main stakeholder to develop the basis for the e-Government architecture. SEAC is a virtual community; regular electronic communication should take place. Persons from the following organisations can participate:
- Swiss authorities and administration units (Bund, Kantone, Gemeinden etc.)
- Companies and organisations. They must have a strong adherence to e-Government, no fees will be paid.
- Universities and Fachhochschulen.
- Architects from non-governmental business areas such as banking etc.
- Associations (SIK, Städteverband, Gemeindeverband, etc.)
- Representatives from international authorities (UN …)
Main goals of SEAC are:
- Participate actively in the e-Government architecture development process.
- Implement the e-Government architecture within their local responsibility and their local scope.
- Harmonize their local architectures with the local architectures of other community members.
- Exchange architecture results with the colleagues from the community, even if they are of local scope.
- Review artefacts presented to the community and give appropriate feedback.
-Identify the necessity for additional standards and propose this to the community.
- Provide advise to the “e-Government Steuerungsausschuss” and the “e-Government Expertenrat”. |
