ViaParl: Automation of parliamentary motions

Canton of Valais

New e-monitoring of parliamentary inquiries thanks to adesso

The Parliamentary Service of the canton of Valais had a manual, paper-based process for monitoring parliamentary procedural requests. This was no longer in line with the canton's zero-paper strategy, so a digital solution was needed - one that would do justice to the complexity and integration of numerous players. adesso has digitized and automated the process with the guarantee that the execution of the various processing procedures complies with applicable regulations.

Challenge

The Valais Parliamentary Service faced a number of challenges in digitizing the monitoring of parliamentary procedural requests.

The two most important included:

  • Involvement of all stakeholders: parliamentary service, government, administration, committees, etc.
  • Time pressure: Swiss law stipulates that the Valais State Council must respond to a petition within a certain period

Solution

The solution was the implementation of ViaParl by adesso. The application is based on a Business Process Execution Engine (Camunda), through which the process of monitoring interventions can be automated in a robust, efficient and scalable way.

adesso provided two types of services: On the one hand, the analysis, modeling of the process and the capture of user stories and test scenarios; on the other, the architecture, implementation and execution of the tests.

Benefits

ViaParl ensures compliance with the rules for processing an initiative and supports the conduct of parliamentary sessions. It also has the following advantages:

  • Increased speed
  • Optimization of costs
  • Facilitation of traceability
  • Decrease in manual workload
  • Simplified integration into other systems
