Swisscom Enterprise Customers strengthens digitization competencies

Swisscom Enterprise Customers supports Swiss companies in the development and implementation of their digital strategy. By acquiring half of Open Web Technology and founding the joint venture, Swisscom Enterprise Customers aims to expand its digitalization expertise. Like Swisscom, the Geneva-based strategy and technology consultancy specializes in the digital transformation of companies.

Open Web Technology was founded in 2009 by sole shareholder Frédéric Weill and has been managed by him ever since. More than sixty specialized engineers work in the offices in Geneva and Zurich. In future, they will be supported by around thirty specialists who are moving to Open Web Technology from Insentia, a subsidiary of Veltigroup. According to the press release, this team will cover all areas relevant to digitalization. This includes consulting for the right digitalization strategy as well as application architecture, the development of tailor-made omnichannel software and omnichannel marketing. The client portfolio includes leading global companies from the telecommunications, banking and insurance, luxury goods and security sectors.

The company, which will be called Swisscom Digital Technology in future, will retain its Open Web Technology brand. The joint venture will be managed by Frédéric Weill: "We have had the pleasure of supporting Swisscom in its digital transformation since 2009. The unique expertise we have built up together can help other industries that are also facing the challenges of the technological revolution today."

Swisscom Digital Technology will work very closely with Swisscom's Digital Enterprise Solutions department. Nicolas Fulpius, head of this department, will also become Chairman of the Board of Directors of the joint venture. With the support of Swisscom and its sales team, Swisscom Digital Technology intends to acquire new customers, particularly in German-speaking Switzerland. The parties have agreed not to disclose the financial details of the transaction.
