What BMC Société de Services Informatiques does

BMC Société de Services Informatiques SA is a privately held Swiss IT services company founded in 1985, operating as both an ERP software publisher and an IT infrastructure integrator. The company is headquartered in Le Mont-sur-Lausanne with a regional office in La Chaux-de-Fonds, and employs approximately 50 staff. Its core product is STRATEGIC ERP, a modular ERP platform developed and maintained in-house in Switzerland, comprising more than 20 interconnected modules covering finance, payroll, HR, scheduling, sales, purchasing, CRM, project management, production, traceability, cost management, logistics, and service center operations, with a surrounding ecosystem of mobile apps, document management (GED), cloud hosting, and specialized portals for HR, suppliers, and field interventions.

BMC serves small and mid-sized enterprises in French-speaking Switzerland (Suisse Romande), with particular vertical focus on watchmaking/horlogerie, industrial manufacturing, distribution, services, transport/logistics, and field service operations. The company provides integrated IT infrastructure services alongside its ERP offering, including cloud hosting (BMC Cloud, Swiss Hosting certified), network and endpoint security (via Sophos and Fortinet partnerships), backup and virtualization (Veeam, VMware, Nutanix), and Microsoft 365 / Copilot enablement. Customers benefit from a single Swiss-based partner for both ERP and IT needs, supported by a customer portal and remote support tools.

BMC's revenue model combines recurring ERP licensing and subscriptions with project-based professional services for implementation, ongoing managed IT services, and managed cloud hosting. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to customer requirements, with annual billing cadence. The company differentiates on regulatory credentials (Swiss Made Software, Swiss Digital, Swiss Hosting, and the first-in-Switzerland Swissdec 5.0 payroll certification), nearly 40 years of localized market presence, and vertical specialization in the Swiss watchmaking industry. Distribution is sales-led via direct enterprise engagement, complemented by digital content, industry events, and a customer self-service portal.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• WinBIZ by Avenco: Swiss SME-focused ERP/accounting suite with Swissdec certification and Swiss Made Software status, sold primarily in Romandie. Direct peer in the same Swiss SME ERP niche.
• ProConcept (by BLS AG / ProConcept): Swiss ERP solution focused on SMEs and artisans in French and German-speaking Switzerland. Direct competitor on product (modular ERP), target market (Swiss SMEs), and regulatory positioning (Swissdec, Swiss Made).
• Abacus Research: Swiss ERP vendor headquartered in Wittenbach, with deep localization and a long track record selling to Swiss SMEs. Directly competes with STRATEGIC ERP on geographic, regulatory, and customer-target overlap in Switzerland.

Broad incumbents

• Epicor Kinetic: ERP suite focused on manufacturing, distribution, and industrial mid-market. Overlaps with BMC's production, traceability, and logistics modules for industrial customers in Romandie.
• Sage: Global SME accounting/ERP vendor (Sage 50, Sage 100, Sage X3) with broad footprint including Switzerland. Competes on the SME ERP application layer but lacks BMC's bundled IT infrastructure services and deep Swiss regulatory specialization.
• SAP Business One: SAP's SME ERP line sold through a global partner channel; competes with STRATEGIC ERP for larger Swiss SMEs and industrial accounts that need deeper integration into SAP analytics and finance. Strong incumbent but typically heavier to deploy.
• Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central: Microsoft's SME-focused cloud ERP offering that already benefits from BMC's existing Microsoft partnership. Competes head-on with STRATEGIC ERP for mid-market customers, but typically delivered via different SI/channel ecosystems.
• IFS Cloud: Enterprise ERP for industrial and asset-intensive businesses. Comparable to BMC's industry/watchmaking manufacturing focus at the larger end of the SME market.

Emerging players

• Odoo: Open-source modular ERP/CRM suite that appeals to SMEs globally with low upfront cost and a wide app marketplace. Emerging competitive threat to STRATEGIC ERP at the lower end of the Swiss SME market.

Regional players

• Bechtle (Swiss operations): Large European IT integrator with a Swiss presence that delivers managed services, infrastructure, and Microsoft/cloud solutions. Comparable to BMC's IT services bundle but as a broad-line provider rather than as an ERP publisher.
