Within the framework of E-Government Switzerland, the actuation of the municipality of Arosa marks SIX Group’s launch of the first Swiss-wide real estate information portal, Terravis. As a result, authorized professional users now have access to land-register and official survey data.
As a part of the E-Government Switzerland strategy, the goal of which is to foster the private and business sectors’ access to public administration offices, SIX Group has been conducting the eGRIS project since 2009 in collaboration with the 26 Swiss cantons. Following the pilot start on 1 November 2010 in Canton Graubnden, additional cantons will be progressively actuated next year in the Terravis information portal. In future, this data will be obtainable not only on paper but also in the form of a structured electronic report that makes further processing possible without media discontinuities.
As of 2012, Terravis will function as a central hub that facilitates the electronic exchange of information between land registries, notaries, banks and pension funds. Together with the paperless promissory notes of the future, the Terravis infoportal will save the commercial and civil service sectors considerable time and effort while accelerating the corresponding processes, for example for property ownership changes and the modification of mortgages. These services, from which the citizenry will also benefit, are in keeping with the E-Government efforts of the confederation, cantons and municipalities. SIX Group continually strives to offer additional new services in the best interests of users
