Data Exchange Layer - smooth and secure information sharing
The Suomi.fi Data Exchange Layer is a uniform and secure solution that enables your organisation to manage data transfer related to electronic transactions with other organisations.
Reliable and timely information always available

Whether it is tax, personal or trade register data, social services require smooth information sharing between different public administration actors and companies. The more digitalised Finland becomes, the more the reliability, efficiency and security of data transfer are emphasised.
The Data Exchange Layer allows your organisation to respond to these needs. Exchange Layer provides all the information needed to serve your customers right when they are needed
Through the Data Exchange Layer, your organisation can, for example,
- update their customer databases in real time
- make efficient use of the information pools of several different actors in their services
- provide their own information for others to use.
Clearer IT architecture and better service
The uniform data transfer offered by the Data Exchange Layer makes the IT architecture of organisations and the whole Finland clearer than before. The Data Exchange Layer is a safe long-term solution that is developed according to the needs of customer organisations.
With the help of the Data Exchange Layer, your organisation can build service collections that combine different interface services and sources of information. You can easily compile all the information you need for your service through a single technical solution and serve your customers more smoothly than before.
The more organisations participate in the Data Exchange Layer, the greater the benefits. The Data Exchange Layer is the future of smooth information sharing.
Cost savings in the long run
The Data Exchange Layer reduces the number of individually implemented integrations and facilitates the reuse of data. When you manage data transfer with different organisations via one integration within the Data Exchange Layer instead of many separate systems and connections, you will reduce costs. The more organisations you add in your data transfer network in the Data Exchange Layer, the more you save.
The use of the Data Exchange Layer is free of charge for organisations. The costs of using the Data Exchange Layer services include
- the introduction and maintenance of a connection between your organisation’s information system and the Data Exchange Layer
- possible service fees that organisations providing services through the Data Exchange Layer may charge.
