Strub and Partner GmbH

What Strub and Partner GmbH does

Strub & Partner GmbH is a Swiss organizational and process consulting firm founded in 2006 and headquartered in Lenzburg, Canton of Aargau. The company serves Swiss public administrations — primarily municipalities and cantons, with a secondary vertical in long-term care facilities — through four core service lines: Digitale Verwaltungsprozesse (Digital Administrative Processes), Beschaffungen (Procurement), Public Governance, and Interims- und Verbandsmandate (Interim and Association Mandates). Its flagship digital asset is a solution-agnostic process automation platform that connects existing municipal specialist applications via APIs, enabling data and document exchange, web forms, SMS, and email services without replacing legacy IT. Standardized offerings built on this platform include the digital water meter reading solution (transaction-based pricing), the contact tracing solution deployed for Canton of Solothurn, and the GOV Digital-Check maturity assessment.

The business model combines project-based consulting mandates (quote-based engagements with individual municipalities, cantons, and public institutions) with transaction-based fees on standardized digital solutions. Distribution is sales-led and community-led, anchored by the Fit4Digital program and the Public Innovators community, which together unite 200 Aargau municipalities around a shared Smart Service Portal that went live on March 24, 2022. Go-to-market relies on direct engagement by the leadership team and mandate managers, reinforced by partnerships with Publis, Myni Gmeind, Schweizerischer Gemeindeverband, and eGovernment Switzerland (ECH). The firm operates with a small team of approximately seven professionals and is privately held with no external investors disclosed.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• ti&m AG: Swiss IT and management consulting firm providing digital transformation, custom software development, and integration services for public administrations and enterprises. Directly comparable in offering blended technology and consulting services to Swiss public-sector clients, though at a significantly larger scale.
• AWK Group: Swiss consulting firm with strong digital government and technology practices serving federal, cantonal, and municipal clients. Comparable because both firms anchor in Swiss public-sector digital transformation and process optimization engagements.

Broad incumbents

• Bedag Informatik AG: Bern-based IT service provider owned by the Canton of Berne, delivering e-government solutions and managed IT services to Swiss public administrations. Comparable as a public-sector IT vendor, but operates at much larger scale with broader portfolio across justice, education, and administrative domains.
• Abraxas Informatik AG: One of Switzerland's leading IT service providers for the public sector, owned by multiple cantons and municipalities. Provides e-government platforms, GIS, and administrative software, overlapping with Strub & Partner's municipal digitalization focus but at significantly greater scale.
• AdNovum AG: Swiss software and security company with a public-sector practice building custom platforms for federal and cantonal authorities. Comparable in delivering bespoke technology solutions for Swiss government clients, though primarily focused on identity, security, and large-scale custom development.
• ERNI Group: Swiss-headquartered technology and management consulting firm serving public-sector and enterprise clients across Europe. Comparable in offering blended consulting and digital engineering services, though with a much broader international footprint.

Emerging players

• Puzzle ITC GmbH: Swiss open-source IT consultancy with strong public-sector portfolio, helping cantons and municipalities modernize IT systems. Comparable niche focus on Swiss government digital transformation using open and interoperable technology stacks.
• Mchconsult AG: Swiss management consultancy supporting public administrations with organizational development, governance, and process consulting. Directly comparable as a boutique Swiss public-sector management consulting peer with overlapping service offerings.

Regional players

• MTF Solutions AG: Swiss IT service provider serving SMEs and public administrations with cloud, workplace, and managed services. Comparable as a regional Swiss IT-services competitor, though less specialized in deep municipal digital transformation consulting.

Others

• Institut für Verwaltungs-Management (IVM) ZHAW: Academic-adjacent Swiss institution providing consulting, training, and applied research on public administration digitalization. Relevant ecosystem participant shaping the digital-government agenda that Strub & Partner serves, rather than a direct competitor.
