I have a good one:
XXX befasst sich mit dem sicheren Datenaustausch zwischen verschiedenen ***Administrationen*** (Gemeinden, Kantonen oder Ländern)
Now what shall I call them? "administrations" doesn't work, since this would suggest different governments (at least in the US).
agencies?, offices?...
Thanks for any suggestions!

Comment: "I know everyone agreed with Neil...so don't hit me :-)
But "government agencies" really worked best in my context.
I did use "among" as Neil suggested, but unfortunatly the points cannot be split up.
Thanks to everyone for all the great suggestions!!!"

levels of government
this would at least cover the exchange of data between municipalities, Kantonen and countries. I would use "among" to convey the idea that the exchange would also occur between two municipalities, or two Kantonen. So the sentence would be:
XXX has been assigned to handle secure data transfer among the various levels of government.

if you don\'t like \"among\", you still use \"between\" (zwischen, as used in the original text), but to me at least, that would narrow the scope of the meaning.

reading your note, I would simply add \"countries\" then ..
among the various levels of government and between countries.

This is a sensible one, if you want to express that various types of groups are involved.
