Enterprise Web Applications in Bern
Secure, accessible government platforms built for public service and citizen engagement
Enterprise Web Applications in Bern
Government and public sector organizations face unique challenges: serving diverse citizen needs, maintaining public trust, ensuring accessibility, protecting sensitive data, and operating within strict procurement and compliance frameworks. AETHER Digital specializes in building enterprise web applications for Bern's federal agencies, cantonal governments, municipalities, and public institutions.
Our government platform expertise includes citizen service portals, case management systems, permit and licensing applications, grant management platforms, public consultation tools, document management systems, inter-agency collaboration platforms, and regulatory compliance tracking systems.
Every public sector application adheres to Swiss accessibility standards (P028), supports multilingual interfaces (German, French, Italian, Romansh), guarantees data sovereignty with Swiss hosting, implements strong authentication including SwissID integration, and follows federal IT security guidelines (FISA/ISCA).
Serving federal departments, cantonal administrations, and municipal governments, we understand the complexities of public procurement, the importance of transparency, and the need for solutions that serve all citizens—from digital natives to those requiring accessible interfaces and multilingual support.
Our platforms handle complex approval workflows, integrate with existing government systems, support secure inter-agency data sharing, and provide the audit trails and transparency that public accountability demands.
