our approach

Overview

Wentland Switzer-Land SA is a Geneva-based IT consultancy built around exceptional people, deep technical expertise and an unusually strong commitment to getting the job done.

Since 2009, we have delivered more than 200 projects across Switzerland and internationally, supporting organisations in finance, healthcare, international organisations and industry.

Our team is genuinely international and multilingual. Our experience crosses countries, cultures, technologies and industries. What brings us together is simpler:

We love difficult problems. We care deeply about the quality of our work. And we do not give up easily.

When clients ask for something difficult, unusual or seemingly impossible, we don't start reasoning why can't be done.

We start figuring out how.

TWO PATHS. ONE STANDARD.

Our Leadership Team

Our leadership combines decades of Swiss ICT leadership and project delivery with international engineering and management experience.

Our CEO, a native Genevan, brings more than 35 years of experience in data and voice connectivity, ICT architecture, advisory, deployments and project management. His career includes leading a 25-person team across French- and Italian-speaking Switzerland, while working within the wider national management structure in Zurich.

Our founding partner grew up in California's Silicon Valley, studied physics and mathematics, and spent 15 years as an engineer and manager in Japan while working internationally to train engineers and conduct technical audits across manufacturing, chemical and petrochemical environments.

Together, our professional experience now spans Europe, the United Kingdom, North America and Asia, with growing activity in the Middle East and Africa.

And this shapes how we work: move quickly, take responsibility and keep improving. We are constantly learning, testing new technologies and expanding what we can do. When the industry changes, we don't want to catch up, we want to be well ahead.

THE PEOPLE MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

Talent Matters

Technology companies like talking about technology.

We like talking about the people who make it work.

Great tools in mediocre hands produce mediocre outcomes.

So we place enormous value on finding talented people: engineers who are curious, experienced, dependable and capable of thinking beyond the boundaries of a single product or certification.

Our team brings together specialists from different areas, technical disciplines and professional cultures.

That diversity means a problem gets examined from more than one angle. An engineer with one background challenges an architect with another. Someone who has seen a problem in Japan may approach it differently from someone who has spent a career in Switzerland or elsewhere in Europe.

Different perspectives. Shared standards. Better answers.

wholistic approach

Technology is only useful when it works as a whole.

Since 2009, we have focused on the IT environment as a whole, rather than treating infrastructure, networking, cloud, collaboration and security as disconnected disciplines.

Because that's what happens in the real world.

• A cloud decision affects security.
• A security decision affects users.
• A network decision affects applications.
• A collaboration decision affects data governance.
• A new AI tool can affect all of them.

So we work across the environment.

Our approach is security-first, but not security as a silo. We design and evolve environments so that infrastructure, cloud, secure access, networking and collaboration operate as a coherent system. 

The objective is an environment that is secure, understandable, manageable and dependable.

TECHNOLOGY IS PERSONAL

Serious Engineering.
Human Relationships.

We take technology seriously.

We don't believe that means taking ourselves too seriously.

Our clients work with real people. People who answer. People who explain. People who care about what happens after the project plan has been signed.

We value long-term relationships because the best technology work rarely happens in isolation. It comes from understanding an organisation over time: its people, constraints, history, ambitions and risks.

Some problems require an architect.

Some require an engineer.

Some require five people around a whiteboard arguing about the best answer.

Whatever it takes, we bring the people the problem requires.
