Time to ditch DigiD?
Unfortunately we are locked in as citizens.
Maybe they should open up 'eHerkenning' to citizens as well instead of only companies. And a bit more competition should be good, like use your bank to sign-in into government services.
- user32489318 9mo agoeHerkenning cost 100eur/user/year for the most basic functionality. That’s a significant amount to pay for by the government
- peterspath 9mo agoThat is why the suggestion for competition is there. DigiD is a bit less indeed, estimation: €239M GDI-budget / ~17M users ≈ ~€14 per user per year.
- PearlRiver 9mo agoIt is not about the money there is so much legislation about government procurement. Unfortunately we cannot declare the US as a hostile nation.
- jbverschoor 9mo agoIt’s 15-25 and you get a free grant of 25 per year
- wolvoleo 9mo agoThe alternatives iDIN and eHerkenning are commercial right? I know iDIN is from the banks and I definitely don't trust them. Unfortunately you can't do without them in today's society but I won't use them for this. DigiD should just remain a government operation.
- mindcrash 9mo agoNo, they should move DigiD out of that data center. Pretty much all critical Dutch gov services are located in sovereign data centres across the Netherlands. Why they can't do it with DigiD baffles me. Especially because it is (or at least used to be) based on a plain Java and Oracle stack.
