AI for public authorities: GovBridge for DMS and FIT-Connect
AI for public authorities: GovBridge connects SovrGPT to your DMS via CMIS and to OZG delivery via FIT-Connect. Case file search right in the chat.
GovBridge connects the SovrGPT AI chat to your authority's document management system (DMS) and to FIT-Connect. Staff search case files in the chat, have documents summarised and submit applications. rooom AG operates the adapter, so you don't need a connector of your own.
GovBridge uses two open standards:
- CMIS 1.1 (OASIS): read and write case files and documents in the DMS, for example in VIS suite, nscale, Fabasoft, Alfresco or OpenText.
- FIT-Connect (Submission API v2): OZG-compliant, end-to-end encrypted delivery of applications to destinations.
Towards SovrGPT, GovBridge speaks the Model Context Protocol (MCP), like any bridge from Connecting your own systems.
What case file search looks like in the chat
| Question in the chat | What GovBridge does |
|---|---|
| "Find the building file for Müllerstraße 12." | CMIS folder search → result list with objectId |
| "Show me the latest building application in it." | CMIS document search → metadata and content |
| "Summarise the PDF." | Fetch content (size policy) → the model summarises |
| "File the minutes in the case file." | createDocument (only with write access) |
| "Submit the application to destination X." | FIT-Connect: encrypted announce → attachments → finalize (only with write access) |
Key points
- Every tool call reads live from the DMS. The adapter stores no business content.
- Every organisation has its own endpoints, secured by slug and token.
- The model can only call curated tools. Writing is off by default.
- The adapter logs metadata only. What SovrGPT itself stores is described under Logging.
Where the data is processed
The adapter runs in a data centre in the Netherlands (europe-west4) at a hosting
provider headquartered in the USA. SovrGPT passes the retrieved case file content to the
AI model chosen in the chat. Where that model runs is listed in the
model overview and in the privacy policy. All four
stations: Security & privacy.
Availability
A platform admin unlocks GovBridge per organisation through the entitlement "Behörden-Konnektoren" (public-sector connectors). Other organisations don't see it.
