Introduction

ADCET is a non-profit association founded in 2005 to promote and develop citizen-focused digital uses. It brings together around sixty public and private members.

Our mission has a dual objective:

1. Facilitate citizens’ access to everyday services (transport and mobility, local services, access to leisure and cultural sites, etc.);

2. Improve the management of local authorities by reducing administrative tasks and redundancies.

Our core principles are:

1. Bridging the digital divide;

2. Protecting users’ privacy and personal data in strict compliance with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation);

3. Preserving our digital independence and sovereignty;

4. Promoting sustainable development.

To achieve this, our association actively contributes to the definition and promotion of French and European standards. Our proudest achievement is creating and helping deploy the AFNOR AMC standard (Multiservice Citizen Application).

IT and digital managers in local authorities must stay continuously informed about functional, organizational, legal, and technological developments in these areas. Industrial players and service providers need to understand market expectations and engage with territories to address their needs.

By joining ADCET, you will:

- Regularly receive relevant information;

- Exchange ideas with other members through working groups or by attending the Annual Digital Uses Conference.

Our membership conditions are designed to be inclusive, ensuring no organization is excluded based on size.

The association

ADCET is a non-profit association founded in 2005, made up of public and private members, whose purpose is to promote the development and use of digital systems by regional authorities to improve the lives of citizens and the management of local groups.
  • Our goals are as follows:
  • To put new technologies to work for the benefit of local residents.
  • To personalize and improve the relationship between users and regional authorities.
  • To simplify steps and procedures for users.
  • To reduce management costs.
  • To eliminate repetitive tasks.

Applications

Digital systems have many applications for regional authorities:
  • Dematerializing procedures
  • Shopping and loyalty cards
  • Street and lot parking
  • City cards and public facilities (CVQ) cards
  • Electronic payments and e-wallets
  • Student cards (junion high and and high schools, universities, etc.)
  • Transportation and ticketing systems
  • Tourism
  • Merchant loyalty cards

Our approach

Our approach to achieving this goal:
  • Promoting conversations between the public and private sector.
  • Clarifying and focusing on regional needs.
  • Pooling resources.
  • Finding and analyzing solutions.
  • Establishing standards and upholding them long-term.
  • Identifying and sharing key success factors.
  • Identifying and supporting opportunities for pilot projects.
  • Helping and supporting our members with personal data protection regulation compliance.
  • To meet market expectations, we must establish standards in order to create new technical architectures that are open and sustainable, and develop a complete, secure service offer. That's why one of ADCET's main achievements has been the publication of the AFNOR AMC (Citizen Multiservice Application) standard.
