Axians in Switzerland

What Axians in Switzerland does

Axians in Switzerland is the Swiss branch of Axians, the global ICT brand of VINCI Energies (itself part of the publicly listed VINCI Group on Euronext Paris). The legal operating entity is VINCI Energies Schweiz AG, registered in Zürich, with a Security Operations Center based in Arlesheim and approximately 30 locations spanning all Swiss language regions (German, French, Italian, Romansh). Following VINCI Energies' 2024 acquisition of the Fernao Group, Axians Switzerland now consolidates a portfolio of wholly-owned subsidiaries — including Axians Schweiz AG, Axians IT Services AG, Axians Amanox AG, Axians Infoma Schweiz AG, Axians müllerchur AG, fernao somnitec AG, BNC AG, 1stQuad Solutions AG, Axians GNS AG, and Axians redtoo AG — under a single Axians franchise.

The company delivers a platform-plus-services portfolio built around six technology pillars — Cloud & Data Center Infrastructures, Business Application & Data Analytics, Cyber Security, Digital Workspace, Enterprise Networks, and Broadband Services — supplemented by fixed and mobile network infrastructure capabilities and a stack of add-on services (Managed Services, Professional Services, AWS Professional Services, IT Project Management, Support Services, and SOCaaS via Arctic Wolf). In 2025 Axians added AI Business Consulting to the portfolio. The platform architecture is differentiated by deep integrations with strategic vendors: Axians holds VMware Premier Partner status under Broadcom across eleven countries, is a strategic SOCaaS partner with Arctic Wolf, delivers end-to-end enterprise networks with HPE Aruba, and offers AWS Professional Services. Pricing is quote-based on multi-year enterprise contracts; revenue mechanics combine professional services (project work), managed services (recurring operations), and support services.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting a broad vertical mix — Banking & Insurance, Healthcare, Retail, Manufacturing/Industry, Public Administration, Pharma & Life Science (all primary), plus Education & Research, Logistics, and Carrier & Service Provider. Named customers include Basler Verkehrs-Betriebe (BVB, transportation), Kellenberger Switzerland AG (manufacturing), and STI Holding AG / Qualitas AG (insurance). Axians Switzerland has been certified as a "Great Place to Work" in 2025 and 2026, and is currently extending its cybersecurity thought-leadership positioning through a strategic partnership with the University of St. Gallen kicking off 02 September 2026 in Basel.
