The event will focus on independent IT solutions that are specifically designed to meet the business challenges of SMEs.

The company icx was founded in 1998 and has extensive IT experience with local Bernese color. “By working with icx, Open Circle is now much closer to its Bernese customers,” says Open Circle CEO Stefan Escher. icx looks after Bernese customers, which means they benefit from shorter distances and excellent on-site support. Thanks to the powerful Bernese team, Open Circle now has the opportunity to further expand the Berne region. icx will take over the customer growth in the greater Berne area as an Open Circle partner.
The Berne-based IT company icx, like many other small IT companies, faced two major challenges: A lack of ISO certifications and a limited range of secure and independent IT solutions. “More and more customers are demanding an ISO-certified IT provider, although it is hardly feasible for small IT companies to obtain the certifications independently,” says Beat Niggli, CEO of icx, which is why he approached Open Circle. There is also a demand for IT providers who offer a wide range of solutions that are operated in Swiss data centers and are therefore safe from a CLOUDAct. Thanks to Open Circle, icx is able to offer next-level IT that promotes the digital sovereignty of its customers. Thanks to Open Circle, icx can now offer an all-round carefree package for which support is available 24/7.
The first success story of the collaboration between Open Circle and icx has already been written. icx brought Open Circle into contact with a manufacturing technology company from Berne that operates in a security-relevant sector. Obtaining the IT from an ISO 27001-certified provider was a must. In addition to ensuring information security, the guaranteed round-the-clock response time was also a reason to switch. Open Circle complements icx’s portfolio with a 24/7 on-call service and an eight-strong operations team. The new IT solutions from Open Circle are now being rolled out continuously. The solutions Managed Workstation, Virtual Server, Firewall & Network, Telephony, IT Administration and Support will be in use until the end.
