Totally revised version of the Federal Information Technology Ordinance (FITO)

The totally revised FITO, which came into effect on 1 January 2012, changes the tasks, competencies and responsibilities for the controlling and management of ICT services at federal level. This has consequences for the ICT organisation of the departments, the Federal ICT bodies and the Federal IT Steering Unit (FITSU). As a result, business processes and cooperation tools need to be reviewed and adapted where necessary.
