Löwenfels Partner AG is expanding its business activities from June 2023 with a new office in Bern. The Swiss software company is thus taking into account the rapidly increasing demand for expertise in the areas of digitization and automation, according to a statement to the media.
Closer to the clientele
In his opening speech, Löwenfels CEO Oliver Meyer reaffirmed the company's claim to be the first choice of Swiss authorities for the implementation of customized software solutions. With the new branch office in the federal city, Löwenfels is now even closer to its clientele. Already, 20 of the 26 Swiss cantons use customized software solutions from Löwenfels, as do several leading Swiss multinationals. Especially when dealing with large amounts of data, customized software can greatly simplify processes.
Digitization of the authorities in Bern
Under the motto "Swiss Software - Built to Last", Löwenfels develops and implements customized software solutions for SMEs and public authorities entirely in Switzerland. The advantages of digitization in a business are clear: workflows are simplified, thus increasing efficiency and, as a result, costs can be reduced. Frank Buchli, Chief Business Officer at Löwenfels Partner AG, will manage the new branch office in Bern. For him, the new location means above all greater efficiency thanks to proximity to customers: "Software is networked and location-independent - so the results of our work can be found all over Switzerland. That's why I and my team are pleased to now have our own office in Bern. From here, we can serve our clientele even better and more efficiently, creating ideal conditions to sustainably maintain and expand our partnerships."
Is artificial intelligence giving the authorities a leg up?
One aspect that receives special attention in the development of software and processes at Löwenfels is the potential of artificial intelligence (AI). Accordingly, visitors to the opening ceremony also enjoyed a presentation by Dr. Matthias Stürmer, Head of the Institute Public Sector Transformation at the Bern University of Applied Sciences, on digitization and digital sustainability. The field of "machine learning" in particular seems predestined to simplify the work of public authorities in the future. Algorithms and statistical methods are used to analyze data and identify patterns. When it comes to evaluating and processing large volumes of data in the healthcare and administrative sectors, this means a literal quantum leap in productivity. For public authorities in particular, it is important that the solution offers sovereignty over international corporations. In a project with the Federal Supreme Court, the Bern University of Applied Sciences has found a solution based on open source components that enables this digital sovereignty.
Of course, the data security aspect in particular must also be maintained, as CBO Frank Buchli emphasizes. To ensure this, Löwenfels draws on its many years of experience and unique domain expertise in social insurance.
