The Institution genevoise de Maintien à Domicile (IMAD) approached us for a solution that would enable them to concentrate on their core business, by simplifying the administrative management of temporary staff.

How does an IT company work?
An IT company offers a wide selection of solutions to support organisations that need external support in carrying out their technology projects. In addition to their technical know-how, these companies offer consulting services aimed at identifying the specific needs of each customer and providing custom solutions. They also offer training programs designed to facilitate the integration and adoption of new technologies by users within their organisation.
Services offered by IT companies in Switzerland
IT services and consulting companies (ESN) offer a wide range of skills, providing customers with an increasingly diverse choice of specialisations. Despite their diverse offering, their activity is generally concentrated around four main areas:
1. IT Service Management: this area encompasses supporting the IT needs of customers by ensuring the optimisation and ongoing security of systems, whether remotely or on-site. This includes services such as cybersecurity, infrastructure maintenance and systems management.
2. Integration systems: this covers the development of applications, the implementation of solutions to ensure interconnection between different IT systems, as well as licence management and technical support.
3. Consulting on organisation, business processes and change management: this area of expertise includes performing an assessment of the current situation of customers and providing them with strategic recommendations or solutions tailored to their specific needs.
4. Training and user support: this activity involves interacting with customers, organising training sessions for their teams, and offering personalised assistance. At Qim info, this customer relationship is at the heart of our values.
How much does an IT company in Switzerland cost?
Establishing a price scale for the services of an IT company can prove complex, as prices depend on a variety of factors. These include the nature of the service required, the location and duration of the assignment, the number of experts used and their skill level, as well as the complexity of the project and the technologies that are implemented. To accurately estimate the cost of an intervention, it is crucial to consider all these elements.
How do I find a good ESN (IT services and consulting company) in Switzerland?
To find a good ESN in Switzerland, start by clearly defining what you need from your digital service and the sector of activity. Look for recommendations in your professional network and consult rankings such as ICT Journal. Evaluate prospective ESNs according to their technical expertise, reputation and ability to manage projects similar to yours. Meet the teams to assess if they are compatible with what you need and make sure they offer ongoing support after project implementation. Choose a flexible ESN with a long-term commitment.
What ROI can you expect from an IT company?
The return on investment (ROI) of an IT department can vary considerably depending on a number of parameters. Here are some of the key factors in determining the expected ROI:
Reduce operational expenses: by automating repetitive tasks and optimising processes, an IT organisation can contribute to lower long-term costs. For example, by modernising IT infrastructure or implementing automation solutions, it is possible to lower operational costs.
Increased efficiency: an IT company can increase the efficiency of your operations by improving your systems, strengthening security or integrating new technologies. This translates into higher productivity, fewer interruptions and better response capability.
Accelerating digital adoption: by investing in IT solutions, you can accelerate your digital transformation, enabling you to remain competitive. This can include integrating new technologies, digitising business processes, or improving data management.
Enriching the customer experience: IT departments can also enhance the customer experience, for example by optimising customer relationship management (CRM) systems, e-commerce platforms or mobile applications. A better customer experience can lead to increased sales and strong loyalty.
Enhanced security: investing in cybersecurity delivers a significant ROI by reducing the risk of costly data breaches and protecting sensitive information, thereby preserving customer confidence and reducing potential financial losses.
Adaptability and scalability: by implementing flexible, scalable IT solutions, your company can adapt more easily to market changes without the need for major reinvestment, thus saving money in the long term.
Optimise resources and save time: thanks to automation and process optimisation, your teams can concentrate on higher value-added tasks, increasing overall efficiency and profitability.
Increased competitive advantage: a positive return on investment often translates into a competitive advantage, enabling you to launch new products more quickly, improve your services and penetrate new markets more effectively.
The best IT companies in Switzerland
ICT Journal, a benchmark publication in the Swiss IT sector, has for the past decade compiled an annual ranking of the 100 largest IT companies in French-speaking Switzerland, based on the size of their workforce. Since entering this ranking at eighth place in 2016, Qim info has climbed the ranks, reaching third position in 2023.
Alternatives to a Swiss IT company
In Switzerland, if you’re looking for non-ESN solutions for your technology needs, here are a few options to consider:
1. Freelancers and independent consultants: you can hire professionals who specialise in specific fields, such as software development, cybersecurity or systems integration. This approach offers greater flexibility and can be more cost-effective for one-off assignments or targeted projects.
2. Web and mobile development agencies: these agencies focus on the creation of websites, mobile applications and other digital products. They provide specific expertise in the design, development and maintenance of digital platforms.
3. Technology startups: collaborating with local startups can be an interesting option, especially if you’re looking for innovative solutions in fields such as artificial intelligence, blockchain or fintech. These startups often offer new and forward-looking approaches tailored to specific needs.
4. In-house training and recruitment: if you already have a technical team, investing in their training to acquire the skills needed for your projects can be an effective alternative. You can also consider recruiting new talent instead of using an external company.
5. Cloud providers and SaaS services: an increasing number of companies are opting for cloud solutions (such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) or SaaS (Software as a Service) services to reduce their dependence on in-house IT infrastructure, while benefiting from ready-to-use tools and platforms.
Each alternative offers specific advantages, depending on the nature of your project, your budget and the technical expertise required.
