What linkyard does

linkyard is a privately-held Swiss IT consulting and services firm headquartered in Bern, founded in 2016 and operating through two wholly-owned subsidiaries (linkyard consulting ag and linkyard management services GmbH). The company delivers Atlassian and JetBrains implementation, cloud migration, managed services and hosting, agile transformation (SAFe), OKR rollouts, e-government digitalization, portfolio and project management, identity and access management, and risk and security services to Swiss government, financial services, and large enterprise customers. Named clients include McDonald's Suisse (Jira-based change management since 2017 with 99.9%+ availability), SEBA Bank AG, Mobiliar, Ringier, Hypothekarbank Lenzburg, and the cantons of Bern and Schwyz, with the firm claiming 140+ satisfied customers overall.

The company's technology stack combines partnership-based resale and implementation of best-of-breed tools (Atlassian, JetBrains) with its own proprietary knowledge management product, Phonemos Enterprise Wiki, and a Portfolio Cockpit offering. It holds triple ISO certification (ISO 27001:2022, ISO 14001, ISO 9001) at the group level and operates with PSP 11-cleared personnel, positioning it to serve highly regulated and classified projects. A dedicated linkyard Academy runs licensed SAFe certification courses at CHF 1,500 per individual, and a Helvetia cyber insurance partnership extends its security offering into subscription-based bundles (Cyber Security Bundle, Human Firewall) for SMEs and municipalities.

Revenue mechanics are diversified across three streams: professional services on time-and-materials or fixed-price engagements, software licensing and resale (Atlassian/JetBrains), and recurring managed services and training. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting large organizations with compliance requirements, primarily in the DACH region, with regional coverage now extending beyond Bern into Romandie and North/East Switzerland. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; managed services deliver 2-hour average response times and 600+ support tickets solved per year.
