Switzerland reaffirms its status as a global leader in innovation and the digital economy. It ranks first in the Global Innovation Index 2025 for the fifteenth consecutive year and ranks among the world’s most competitive economies according to the IMD World Competitiveness Ranking 2025, reflecting the strength of its technology, research, and innovation ecosystem.
The Digital Services Companies (ESN), formerly known as IT services firms (IT Services and Engineering Companies), are defined by the sale of a wide range of IT services and solutions within a Business-to-Business (B2B) model.
Our article takes a closer look at Qim info and IT service providers in French-speaking Switzerland.
Ranking by Workforce
The ranking by number of employees is compiled by theICT Journalfor several years now, with the most recent one dating from 2025.
How does it work? ICT Journal sends an online questionnaire to digital services companies to find out how many employees each one has in French-speaking Switzerland as of October 1, 2025, and then compiles a list of the top 100.
Qim Info ranks particularly high:
- Across French-speaking Switzerland, Qim info has now held the third place in the top 100;
- Across the canton of Geneva, Qim info ranks first place.
We are proud of these excellent rankings in terms of workforce size, especially since we now employ more people than we did at the time of the last data collection.
💡 You can find the detailed ranking of the largest IT companies by canton in French-speaking Switzerland and the Top 100 2025 directly on the ICT Journal website.
| Rank | Company | Number of Employees |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Qim info | 415 |
| 2 | Infomaniak | 288 |
| 3 | Swisscom Business Customers | 279 |
| 4 | Talan | 275 |
| 5 | Sword Group | 247 |
In fact, our progress has been remarkable since we first appeared in the rankings in 2016, as shown in the chart below.
Our CEO, Vincent Flatin, when he mentions our 3rd place in the ranking, specifies that:
Our 3rd place in the ICT ranking reflects the continuous expansion of our scope of intervention over several years, in terms of projects and skills.
Now let’s move on to the ranking by employers, established by Glassdoor.
Ranking of Digital Services Companies on Glassdoor
How does it work? The methodology used by Glassdoor to rank the Best Employers is not based on a company’s own statements, but on the employee feedback (anonymous) themselves. Thus, as pointed out by Glassdoor,
“If a company’s employees do not post reviews on Glassdoor during the eligibility period, the company will not be considered for the Best Employers ranking.”
That is why we are especially pleased to receive a rating of 4.2 out of 5 and to receive so manypositive reviews on Glassdoor.
Indeed, these results reflect our strong commitment to our collaborators, since our goal is to offer an inspiring framework so that everyone can flourish and evolve with our clients.
As such, we do everything we can to ensure a smooth transition for them and to maximize their career prospects. Thanks to the presence of a Business Manager, they receive support to prepare effectively for the assignments entrusted to them, particularly through coaching. Similarly, to remain at the forefront of innovation in a sector undergoing constant change, training opportunities and certifications are regularly offered to them.
In addition, Qim info places great importance on each employee’s personal growth and organizes numerous events to strengthen team bonds. Annual weekend getaways, “Last Thursdays” happy hours, welcome parties, Qim Talks… There’s no shortage of opportunities!
This is undoubtedly one of the factors that enabled us to obtain the HappyIndex®AtWork certification in Switzerland and France.

What areas of expertise do these digital services companies cover?
The scope of expertise for a digital services company is extremely broad. Indeed, with an ever-increasing variety of specializations, clients are spoiled for choice. However, there is a common foundation shared by all such companies, which we can group into four main areas.
IT Outsourcing
One of the ESN’s main missions is to provide an IT solution to the client’s needs. The goal is to ensure that the tool is always optimized and secure, whether remotely or in person. This includes, among other things, the cybersecurity, maintenance of tools—whether existing or provided by the IT services company—and infrastructure management.

Systems Integration
This includes, in particular, application development, finding solutions for communication between heterogeneous computer systems, as well as the management of licenses and technical support.
Consultancy,
In fact, this is one of the IT services company’s key strengths: sometimes, clients have a clearly defined need and are able to articulate their expectations perfectly; other times, they encounter a problem or difficulty and need guidance on adopting a strategy or solution tailored to their situation.
User Training and Support
Forget the cliché of the IT specialist holed up in his cave. The primary mission of an IT services company is to communicate with its clients, and this is even one of our core values at Qim info. Whether it’s organizing training sessions for your teams or providing personalized support, an IT services company is first and foremost there to meet a client’s needs, and the quality of the relationship between the two parties is paramount.

The values of IT service providers can also be taken into account. For example, if you are committed to responsible business practices, look for IT service providers that share that commitment.
