S.W.I.S. GROUP

Since 2008 S.W.I.S. GROUP is active in the Drupal community.
All our projects involve the Internet and we use Drupal for our project's (and customer's) Internet presence. We design (graphically, functionally and operationally) the Drupal websites and work with other Drupal Service Providers on the realization.

In 1999 and 2000 S.W.I.S. Group represented Swiss Industry interests (through the organisation "Vorort", today "Economiesuisse") in the deliberations leading up to the Swiss Digital Signature Law (ZertES) which was enacted on January 1, 2005.

In September 2001 S.W.I.S. GROUP became one of the three founders of SwissSign AG "The digital Identity Specialists. Made in Switzerland". SwissSign is a CSP and is certified to issue X.509 certificates according to the Swiss Digital Signature law. In July 2005 SwissSign was sold and became a fully owned subsidiary of Swiss Post (the government owned Swiss national postal service).

In May 2007 SDMS AG was founded. Together with Notaries of the Swiss Canton of Vaud a role-based register- and archiving system was developed, solving a common database problem concerning long time access rights and short-term representation for professions as well as users. In May 2010 the capital was increased to one million Swiss Francs. We had a successful exit from this project in May 2013.

In April 2011 Drupal Events was founded. An association according to Swiss Law, it serves to further the recognition of Drupal. It has organized the first ever "Drupal Commerce Camp" and a "codesprint" (which was the start of the TMGMT module) in Switzerland.
