Zug Town CouncilSpeeding up government business with digital signatures

For the five members of the Zug town administration, the journey of an application up to its legally-binding resolution used to be a real bureaucratic nightmare. For this reason, they were looking for an end-to-end solution without any integration gaps.

Swisscom technology partners have developed a web-based platform which, used together with Swisscom's Digital Certificate Services, speeds processes up considerably. Every member of the administration has an electronic identity with a personal digital certificate. Now a legally-binding resolution can be created with just three clicks for the digital signature.

The new solution for business administration has numerous advantages. It has decreased costs and reduced the workload. Even multiple signing of a document can be conducted without difficulty – and with maximum protection against forgery.

«I consider digital signatures to be more secure than handwritten ones. This system has enormous potential for public authorities and companies.» Daniel Truttmann, Head of IT at Zug town administration
