Example: Signatures for a municipal administration

Your starting point

You want to introduce the qualified electronic signature (QES), which is equivalent to a handwritten signature, for your municipal administration with around 15 users. The solution should work without additional installation requirements for the municipal IT (SaaS).

Our solution

With SwissSign’s Signing-as-a-Service solution, your employees can sign documents online with ease. There is no integration effort required. Simply upload the PDF documents in your web browser – it saves time and is straightforward. The recipients are then automatically informed of the signature request by email or push notification.

Example: Signatures for a city administration

Your starting point

You want to introduce the qualified electronic signature (QES), which is equivalent to a handwritten signature, for your municipal administration with over 100 users. Users have to sign documents on a regular basis, e.g. several times a week. On top of that, electronic signatures should be integrated seamlessly into your existing digital government processes or even into new ones. Furthermore, you would like to be able to publish digital documents issued by your administrative authority in such a way that integrity and authenticity are guaranteed.

Our solution

With the integration solution from SwissSign, your employees can seamlessly use electronic signatures and seals as an integrated part of your systems and existing or new digital processes. Thanks to our strong partner network, our solutions are also already integrated into various specialist applications and can be purchased through your preferred IT service provider.

Example: Signatures for a canton

Your starting point

You would like to introduce electronic signatures and seals for your canton or cantonal government, e.g. state council, state chancellery and officials, but the documents must not leave the canton’s infrastructure.

Our solution

With SwissSign’s on-premise solution, documents will not leave your own IT environment during the signature process. This enables compliance and security requirements to be met. The PDF documents are sent directly to the signature process via your own IT environment.

Use cases from public administration

E-signatures for building permits

Icon symbolising the topic

As it is equivalent to a handwritten signature (Art. 14(2)bis of the Swiss Code of Obligations), decisions on building rights can also be signed digitally with an electronic signature.

Seals for debt collection register extracts

Electronic seals guarantee integrity, authenticity and origin and make it possible, for example, to create and send debt collection register extracts completely digitally.

Digital timestamps for document archiving

Timestamps can be used to record the time at which digital information is stored in a verifiable and tamper-proof manner. Legislation explicitly refers to digital timestamps in this context.
