What Abraxas Informatik AG does

Abraxas Informatik AG is a St. Gallen-headquartered IT service provider focused exclusively on Swiss public administration, serving municipalities, cantons, federal agencies, tax authorities, and police organizations. Founded around 1998–2001 and structured as a private Aktiengesellschaft, the company employs 501–1,000 staff and reported FY2025 service revenue of 228.1 million CHF with operating profit of 7.5 million CHF, up from 214.5 million and 3.0 million CHF respectively in the prior year.

The company combines managed IT services with a portfolio of vertical software products. Its technology backbone is anchored by two IBM z16 mainframes deployed across geo-redundant Swiss data centers, supplemented by cloud, security, application, and managed workplace services (the latter including Microsoft Copilot integration). Proprietary software includes Abraxas TAXA (tax administration, recently launched in Canton Solothurn), Abraxas CMI (case/business management), Abraxas ABACUS (ERP/payroll), EPSI Pol (police systems), Verkehr Online (road traffic data), and Abraxas VOTING (electronic voting). The Abraxas Intelligence suite adds sovereign AI capabilities — an in-house LLM-based Enterprise Search, a citizen chatbot, an AI consulting team, and document/case-processing automation — all positioned as GDPR/Swiss-data-sovereign alternatives to hyperscaler offerings.

Abraxas pursues a sales-led, direct enterprise field-sales motion targeting Swiss government buyers only. Revenue is generated through project-based engagements, recurring managed-services contracts, and software subscriptions/professional services, all quote-based with no public pricing. Notable recent wins include the multi-year Digitaler Arbeitsplatz Zürich (DAP ZH) deployment of over 10,000 IT workstations for Canton of Zurich and the rollout of TAXA to six Solothurn municipalities. The company is certified to ISO 9001, 27001, 20000, and 14001 and received an Ecovadis sustainability rating in 2025, reinforcing its procurement credentials in the Swiss public sector.
