We are pleased to announce the expansion of our partner network. Ophion Consulting GmbH, a Swiss company specializing in Linux and open-source solutions, is joining XWiki as an official partner. Together, we aim to support Swiss organizations in implementing XWiki, migrating from other systems such as Confluence, and adapting to the clients specific requirements.
Across Switzerland, interest in sovereign and open-source solutions continues to grow. At the same time, many Confluence customers face challenges such as the end of Data Center support, rising prices, and risks of vendor lock-in. Having a new partner based in Bern will make a difference for these organizations.
What this means for the Swiss customers
This partnership brings several benefits to Swiss companies:
- Expertise in open-source technologies and deployment
- Deep understanding in the Swiss market and its needs
- Professional migration services from Confluence and other platforms to XWiki
We believe that documentation and collaboration are key to every successful endeavour. The partnership with XWiki allows us to play a significant role in advancing and promoting an open and safe system that has the potential to shape the future of these key aspects for many companies and institutions in Switzerland. Markus Kohli, Ophion's CEO
XWiki's presence on the Swiss market
XWiki has already supported major Swiss projects in the past. One example is the Historical Dictionary of Switzerland (HLS), which revamped its multilingual encyclopedia using XWiki. By adopting our platform, HLS replaced its legacy system with a multilingual online encyclopedia.
We also took part in Swiss IT Forum(s), where we connected with local organizations seeking alternatives to proprietary suites. These exchanges allowed us to showcase how our solutions are already used across Europe to ensure secure, transparent, and sustainable collaboration.
