Key facts
Content managements systems (CMS) are used for the compilation, processing and dissemination of internet and intranet content. The Federal Administration uses CMS for its websites. Two projects are under way in the General Secretariat of the Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport (GS-DDPS) and in the Federal Office of Information Technology, Systems and Telecommunication (FOITT). Both selected the same solution provider independently of each other. In contrast, the operating models of the solutions differ greatly from each other: the FOITT procured its solution and operates it itself, the GS-DDPS has its solution operated by an external service provider and acquires it as a service. The awards made for the basic mandate amounted to CHF 7.3 million for the DDPS (establishment of service and 5 years of operation) and CHF 3.6 million for the FOITT (product licences and services).
