eGovernment: RUBICON wants to grow in the private sector with new Swiss CEO
The success awakened demand for RUBICON's services. The specialist for eGovernment and enterprise solutions implemented its Acta Nova application on the federal administration's GEVER business management system in 2021. Now the software provider is focusing on expanding its business with the private sector and intends to continue growing with Christoph Unger as its new managing director.
The Austrian software company RUBICON is one of Europe's leading providers of IT solutions for the digitalization of central business processes in public administrations (eGovernment) as well as in the enterprise sector. With RUBICON IT Schweiz AG, the company has been based in the city of Bern since 2004, where it currently employs nine people. The development of tailor-made IT solutions takes place at the location in Vienna. RUBICON Switzerland draws on specialists from the parent company as needed.
Successful eGovernment implementations fuel demand
"Now that we have distinguished ourselves as a digitization partner for the administration, our experience and know-how are increasingly attracting interest from the private sector," says Christoph Unger. The 42-year-old was previously responsible for the market development and establishment of Acta Nova for the GEVER system in the Swiss market. "We support Swiss companies in expanding their digital ability to act from A to Z - from electronic requests to execution and delivery," says Unger.
As a digitization partner for administration and companies, RUBICON covers a wide range of needs. These include solutions in the area of document and workflow management based on Acta Nova. In addition, there is template and output management with Document Partner, but also high-availability server and application operation, expertise in the areas of databases and networks, as well as auditing and software security via SignPath.
Federal administration: 26,000 people use RUBICON solution
The company's long-standing customers include the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), the Zurich Transport Authority (VBZ), and a large number of cantons and cities as well as over 900 Swiss municipalities. Since August 2021, more than 26,000 employees of the Swiss federal administration have been using the RUBICON application Acta Nova nationwide. This runs on GEVER, the federal government's digital platform for business administration, and guarantees uniform and stable document and workflow management. Since then, the processes have been gradually optimized during ongoing operations. In addition, RUBICON is constantly developing the platform further.
Acta Nova allows the digitization and automation of business processes and offers interfaces to online forms so that data can be captured easily and quickly and transferred without media breaks. In addition, the software automatically encrypts confidential documents and offers central data storage. At the same time, Acta Nova accelerates, for example, the issuing of permits, the response time to inquiries, increases the traceability of all processes and, last but not least, increases the efficiency of the administration. Since digitization also eliminates transport routes and mountains of paper, the use of Acta Nova also leads to substantial savings.
Since then, the processes have been optimized step by step during ongoing operations. In addition, the platform is constantly being further developed. Important topics are inbound and outbound management as well as digital interaction with countless business partners.
