Talus Informatik

What Talus Informatik does

Talus Informatik AG is a privately held, owner-managed Swiss IT service company founded circa 1995 and headquartered in Wiler bei Seedorf, with a secondary footprint in Burgdorf. It operates exclusively in Switzerland — primarily the German-speaking region — serving four named verticals: public administrations (Gemeinden, Städte, Kantone), energy providers, schools, and church parishes (Kirchgemeinden). Business is delivered through direct field sales supported by account managers and consultants, with additional reach via general assemblies and events of Swiss municipal and financial-finance professional associations. CEO Yvonne Bader leads alongside co-owners Michael Hänzi and Loganayagam Dinushan; the firm has undergone a documented generational succession and runs with 51–100 employees.

The technical and product backbone is the company's own RIO (Rechenzentrum Integration Organisation) data center, providing geo-redundant hosting through Dark Fiber connections to a secondary site at DV Bern AG, using Metrocluster active/active failover. Around RIO the company bundles full and partial IT outsourcing (Applikationsbetrieb, Security Services, Backup & Storage via Veeam Cloud Connect, hybrid cloud, web hosting, network monitoring via PRTG), alongside managed applications including Abacus ERP (with Abacus Intelligence), the CMI Lösungsplattform, innosolvcity for citizen and population management, Microsoft 365, Weblication CMS, primedocs, easylearn, Sophos endpoint and email security, xorlab behavioral email security, SEPPmail, IncaMail, Citrux/ShareFile, Saporo identity-infrastructure security, and Cyberdise AI awareness training. Vertical-specific modules include the eGovernment suite (eAdressauskunft, eBescheinigung, eSteuerkonto, eUmzug, CMI Government), a room management and reservation system, and the Gemeinde-App / citymobile-App (with Anthrazit AG). Cited operational footprint includes >150 customers hosting infrastructure with Talus, 450 municipalities on innosolvcity managing 3 million inhabitants (largest deployment 140,000), 200,000 users of CMI, 1 million Abacus bookkeeping entries annually, 6,000 daily Abacus asset-accounting users, 3,300 companies on Abacus Electronic Banking, and 1,000 users on eUmzug. Certifications include ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 22301, IQNet, CyberSeal (recertified 2025), Swiss Made Software + Swiss Hosting, and Swiss Digital Services, and the RIO data center operates on 100% renewable energy with freecooling and on-site PV.

The business model is a mix of managed services (full and partial IT outsourcing via the RIO data center, hosted application subscriptions), modular IT-Flatrate subscriptions on a Pay-per-Use basis with monthly billing, hardware/software sales (Lenovo infrastructure, Microsoft, etc.), and project / consulting services for digital transformation. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotations are custom. The customer base is highly repeat-heavy: Gemeinde Worb has been a customer since 1998; multiple employees celebrated 30-year anniversaries in 2025 (Yvonne Bader, Alfred Hofer). Recent strategic activity centers on the planned 2026 expansion to the canton of Wallis, a new-generation Online-Kundencenter (OKC) launched January 2026, the 2024 rollout of Cyberdise security awareness training, the 2025 CyberSeal recertification, and the introduction of AI-themed positioning for municipal administration (May 2026).

Scale indicators10 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• CANCOM Switzerland: European managed-services and cloud provider with a Swiss subsidiary competing for managed-IT, hybrid-cloud, and Microsoft 365 deals in the same mid-market and public-administration segments Talus serves.
• Bechtle AG: Large European IT system house and managed-services provider with a strong Swiss presence (Bechtle Schweiz). Competes with Talus on hardware procurement, workplace IT, and managed services for public-sector and mid-market accounts, but at much larger scale and broader portfolio.
• Swisscom: Switzerland's incumbent telecom and largest IT services provider, with a dedicated public-sector unit serving federal, cantonal, and municipal clients with managed services, cloud, and connectivity. Directly competes with Talus for the same Swiss municipal outsourcing budgets but at vastly greater scale.

Others

• innosolv AG: Vendor of the innosolvcity population-management platform that Talus hosts and implements. While not a head-to-head MSP, innosolv is a critical software partner and a useful proxy for the niche municipal-software ecosystem in which Talus operates.
• CMI AG: Provider of the CMI business and document management platform used by Talus in its eGovernment and municipal offerings. Functions as a core technology partner and indirect comparable for document/workflow-centric Swiss public-sector IT delivery.

Direct peers

• Netrics AG: Swiss managed-services and cloud provider serving SMEs and public-sector organizations. Comparable to Talus in size and managed-IT-outsourcing model, with overlapping cybersecurity and Microsoft 365 services, though serving a broader mix of industries.
• Abraxas Informatik AG: Leading Swiss IT services firm specializing in public administration and justice/police sector solutions. Closely comparable to Talus in vertical focus (Swiss municipalities, cantons) and offering (managed services, application hosting, eGovernment), though larger and broader in geographic reach.

Regional players

• Adnovum AG: Swiss IT services firm specializing in secure software and IT solutions for finance, insurance, and government. Comparable in Swiss-market depth and security/identity focus, though more software-engineering-led and less infrastructure-led than Talus.
• ipt Innovation Process Technology AG: Swiss IT consulting and engineering firm with public-sector and industrial clients, offering managed services and digital transformation. Comparable to Talus in size and Swiss-market depth, though more consulting-led and less infrastructure-hosting-led.
• Noser Engineering AG: Swiss IT services and engineering firm offering managed services, cloud, and custom software to enterprise and public-sector clients. Similar scale and Swiss-market focus as Talus, with comparable managed-IT and digitalization capabilities.
