Bechtle bundles public expertise in a Switzerland-wide cluster

Bechtle is further expanding its strong position in the public sector and combining the many years of experience of all three Swiss companies - Bechtle Switzerland, Bechtle direct and Bechtle Suisse - in a new, Switzerland-wide Public Cluster. The bundling strengthens cooperation across all regions and creates an even clearer, more integrated point of contact for public institutions for their digital projects.

Over 1800 customers in the public sector

The public sector has been one of Bechtle's most important markets for years. Today, the company serves more than 1,800 customers from administration, education, healthcare and other public sectors and generates revenues of around 225 million Swiss francs in this segment with all three companies. With the new structure, these customers will benefit even more from standardized processes, closely interlinked competence teams and a nationwide network of specialists.

Oliver Sieber takes over technical management

Oliver Sieber, who reports directly to Martin Kull, Vice President Bechtle Switzerland, will take over the technical management of the Public Cluster. This will further strengthen the public sector at a strategic level. The further development will be accompanied by a steering committee. The disciplinary structures in the companies will remain unchanged, as will the sales and customer support models. Key account managers and account managers will continue to look after their customers as before, while at the same time having access to specialized experts throughout Switzerland.

Focus on healthcare

Bechtle pays particular attention to the healthcare sector. Since January, a cross-divisional virtual health team has been active, pooling know-how and developing solutions for hospitals, clinics and other healthcare institutions in a targeted manner. In this way, Bechtle is responding to the increasing demands in the healthcare market and creating additional added value for one of the fastest-growing public sub-sectors.

Advantages for public customers

With the Public Cluster, Bechtle is pursuing the goal of further expanding its role as a central digitalization partner to the public sector. The uniform organization strengthens tendering capabilities, simplifies cooperation between all service units and makes it possible to offer integrated solutions even more effectively from a single source. This creates a clear advantage for public sector customers: more orientation, more efficiency and a more bundled competence profile.

«The public sector is facing challenging digital tasks. With the nationwide Public Cluster, we are ensuring that our customers can access Bechtle's bundled expertise anywhere in Switzerland - for security, digital sovereignty and a sustainable ability to act,» says Martin Kull, Vice President Bechtle Switzerland.

Bechtle Switzerland combines Bechtle Switzerland, Bechtle direct and Bechtle Suisse and is a leading IT service provider in Switzerland. The range of services covers the entire IT life cycle, from consulting to implementation and operation. The Bechtle companies in Switzerland are part of the Bechtle Group, which operates at over 120 locations in 14 European countries.
