Concentration in the IT industry continues: Boss Info Holding takes over ProFinance

Boss Info Holding is taking over the majority of shares in Langenthal-based ProFinance Holding with retroactive effect from January 1, 2019. ProFinance employees will continue to serve their customers from the Langenthal location. As a shareholder with a significant stake in ProFinance, Yves-Alain Dufaux will continue in his previous functions as CEO and VRP of ProFinance. As a result, the Boss Info Group now employs around 150 people.

Boss Info Holding, which is already represented at 7 locations in German-speaking Switzerland, is expanding further and is now also taking over ProFinance, which is also active in German-speaking Switzerland. Yves-Alain Dufaux will continue to serve as CEO and Chairman of the Board of ProFinance. All ProFinance employees will remain at their current location in Langenthal BE with the same functions and responsibilities. Since 1998, Boss Info AG has built up the status of integrator in Switzerland with the largest number of installations of the overall business solution Microsoft Dynamics. In addition to the entire Microsoft product range, ICT infrastructure / systems engineering, web applications such as webshops and portals as well as training courses are further mainstays of Boss Info.

The merger of the two ERP specialists enables both companies to benefit from synergies in the operational processing of the SME market in German-speaking Switzerland. ProFinance's solutions optimally expand Boss Info Group's overall ERP offering, according to a statement to the media. Together with ProFinance, Boss Info Group can continue to offer comprehensive ERP solution environments also for smaller companies at an optimal cost/benefit ratio. In addition, Boss Info continues to pursue its growth strategy with this step.

"As a Swiss SME with our more than 20 years of experience, we are proud to serve as a Swiss Made Software to keep the software engineering as well as the product management of all our ERP products in Switzerland. This is the only way we can ensure the justified high quality demands of our SME customers.", says about this Yves-Alain Dufaux, CEO of ProFinance, on his motivations about the merger with Boss Info. Like Yves-Alain Dufaux, Simon Boss, founder and CEO of Boss Info AG, also attaches great importance to supporting his customers in their business challenges with state-of-the-art tools: "I am firmly convinced that the two ranges of services offered by our companies complement each other ideally. Furthermore, the corporate cultures of the two companies enrich each other."
