What Trianon does

Trianon SA is a Swiss business-process-outsourcing specialist for HR, payroll and occupational pension (BVG/LPP) administration, headquartered in Nyon, Canton of Vaud, with additional offices in Bern and Zurich. Founded in 1997 and serving 140+ corporate clients including 75 multinational groups (e.g., Coca-Cola, JTI, Accenture, IATA, Galderma, Canal+, Bobst, Unilabs, Swissquote, Lexmark, PPG), the company runs four service lines — pension administration and consulting, investment services, payroll, and absence/claims management — alongside the Libre Passage UP vested-benefits foundation.

Its core technology stack is entirely in-house and Swiss-hosted: the multilingual (FR/DE/EN) Employee Benefits Center (EBC) portal serving 72,000+ users across 160+ personalized client spaces, supported by three internal core applications — T-Pen for pension fund administration, T-Pay for payroll, and T-Fin for investment management — plus the MyTrianon mobile app for absence self-service. The platform integrates with client ERP/HRIS systems (SAP, Oracle, Workday, PeopleSoft, Hypervision) via custom XML interfaces. 2024 saw the rollout of AI-generated pension projections/simulations and prototype chatbots for insured-member support.

Trianon monetizes primarily through multi-year managed-services outsourcing contracts (its 'Technology as a Service' model), supplemented by project-based consulting mandates and recurring EBC platform access. Pricing is quote-based and non-public. The company has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Groupe Mobilière since 2016 and, as of 1 October 2025, became part of Centre Patronal; ownership does not change operational continuity. Certifications include Swiss Made Software + Swiss Hosting, CyberVadis Platinum (958/1000), EcoVadis Bronze (top 35% in industry) and CICERO for insurance experts, with compliance to the revised Swiss Data Protection Act (LPD/DSG).

Core offering

Trianon provides outsourced business process administration for Swiss employers and pension funds, including payroll processing, occupational pension fund (LPP/BVG) administration, investment/finance administration, absence and insurance claims management, and collective medical-cost insurance administration. Services are delivered through a proprietary technology stack (Employee Benefits Center portal plus in-house T-Pen, T-Pay and T-Fin applications) and structured as multi-year "Technology as a Service" outsourcing contracts.

Product overview

Trianon offers a unified business-process-outsourcing platform for HR and Swiss occupational pension management. The core client-facing platform is the Employee Benefits Center (EBC), a multilingual (FR, DE, EN) secure portal used by over 72,000 users across 160+ personalized spaces, under which sit three in-house IT systems: T-Pen (pension fund administration), T-Pay (payroll) and T-Fin (investment/finance) — all developed in-house and hosted in Switzerland, with T-Pay interoperating with T-Pen for synchronized salary and pension data. Built around these systems, Trianon delivers four service lines: pension services (technical and administrative management, pension fund management and consulting, investment services, and the Libre Passage UP / Vested Benefits foundation); HR services including Payroll, Absence and Claims Management (with the MyTrianon app and Trianon Services Center), and the Medical Costs (Frais médicaux) collective health-insurance service run with ExpertCare and CICERO-certified experts. The platform is delivered with custom interfaces to client systems including SAP, Oracle, Workday, Peoplesoft and Hypervision.

Broad incumbents

• ADP: Global payroll and HR services leader with a sizeable Swiss presence (ADP Switzerland). Competes with Trianon on outsourced payroll and HR administration for multinational and large-enterprise clients, but operates at much greater scale and breadth.
