The fifth edition of the Swiss Software Industry Survey (SSIS), the
most extensive study of its kind in Switzerland, provides you with
comprehensive information about the current state, emerging
trends, and long-term developments of the Swiss software industry.
As in previous years, our goal was to be as close as possible to the
Swiss software industry and the people who shape it. To this end,
we conducted a workshop with representatives of the Swiss software industry and used their feedback to optimize our questionnaire. The highly valuable feedback from this workshop, however,
not only helped us to optimize the SSIS as a whole but also served
as valuable input for the design of this year’s two special topics. The
first of these two special topics focuses on the productivity of the
Swiss software industry, thus on a central aspect in an increasingly
competitive environment. Here we show what measures Swiss software companies are taking to increase their productivity. Besides,
we illustrate what changes Swiss software companies expect to see
in the sources of their revenues over the next three years. The second special topic focuses on public tenders. Here we show the reasons why Swiss software companies participate in public tenders or
explicitly refrain from doing so. We also illustrate the importance of
public tenders for individual subindustries and the major regions of
Switzerland.
This year, we again improved our SSIS benchmarking website to
provide a unique service to our participants. The SSIS benchmarking
website has become central to our value proposition, as it delivers
actionable information for participating companies. As an additional
incentive, we were able to offer participating companies, which
shared all key figures with us, a voucher for a free job advertisement on ictjobs.ch. We thank our partner inside-it.ch for this opportunity.
The SSIS would not be possible without the long-term support of
our partners, in particular, ICTswitzerland, the principal of the
study, and Sieber & Partners. We want to thank ICTswitzerland,
Sieber & Partners, and all other partners for their continued support.
Finally, we would like to thank Thomas Huber for his many years of
commitment to the SSIS. Thomas Huber was appointed Assistant
Professor at the ESSEC Business School in Paris. Corinna Rutschi
joined the SSIS team this year and therewith completes our team.
We hope you enjoy reading this report!
