Bedag

What Bedag does

Bedag Informatik AG is a Bern-based Swiss IT services provider founded in 1990 and wholly owned by the Canton of Bern, employing approximately 510 staff (including roughly 10% apprentices). The company operates two highly secure, geo-redundant data centers running thousands of servers across SAP, TSE, and mainframe environments, supported by ISO 27001, ISO 14001, SOC 2 Type 2, and ISO 22301 certifications, and reports CHF 115 million in FY2025 revenue.

Its commercial offering spans three reinforcing pillars. Data Center Services provide managed hosting and high-availability infrastructure for government and enterprise workloads; Workplace Services deliver physical and virtual desktop environments, Microsoft 365/Teams integration, and asset management; Software Solutions encompass a portfolio of proprietary public-administration applications including Capitastra (land registry deployed across 13 cantons covering over two-thirds of Switzerland's land area), Geres (population registry with 10,000+ users covering 3.7 million residents in 17 cantons), and the eGV+ electronic-transaction platform with the Notariat+ module for digitized notary-to-land-registry workflows. Adjacent products include HelloDATA (a healthcare data warehouse with 50+ customized dashboards) and BEmedko (digital driving-fitness examinations processing ~97% of 52,000 annual cases electronically).

Bedag monetizes through managed-service contracts, multi-year SaaS licenses, and custom software development, sold primarily through a direct enterprise-sales motion to cantonal and federal government buyers. Roughly 80% of revenue derives from the Canton of Bern, where Bedag functions as the 'Hoflieferant' (preferred supplier), with the remainder drawn from other Swiss cantons, federal offices, healthcare entities, and select enterprises (e.g., SBB Cargo International). The wholly-owned subsidiary Bedag Solutions AG handles IT-Business Services to address Swiss public-procurement compliance while preserving the parent's strategic and administrative mandate.
