# About us

VNV: IT, done differently.

**We are explorers.** We innovate out of conviction. IT professions never stop evolving, and neither do we.

## IT, done differently.

### We are versatile.

We work across the entire value chain of large-scale technology projects and master every step, from custom development to strategic consulting, with infrastructure, security and support along the way.

### We are pragmatic.

We prefer to show our skills through action. What we put forward are solutions that make a real difference to your day-to-day work.

### We love a challenge.

We don’t let go of a problem until we have found the key. That is the meaning of our slogan, That’s IT: the moment when everything falls into place and the solution becomes clear and obvious.

**We are ready to take on any challenge** to deliver a strong, lasting impact for our clients, rooted in our values.

## We shape the digital world. With impact. Differently.

*Our mission*

### We are technology experts serving our clients’ businesses

We are in it for the long term, and the quality of our services is our best calling card. We are proud to co-create with our clients, because only they truly know their needs.

## Our values

### People & proximity

We put people and the interactions between them first, above all else.

### Impact

We focus on the real impact of our actions: the value created for the client, measured and owned.

### Transparency

Our decisions and ways of working are documented and shared. We show how we work, behind the scenes included.

### Autonomy & accountability

Decisions are made as close as possible to where the expertise lies. In our organisation, every role has a clear mandate and is accountable for its results.

### Iteration

Nothing is set in stone. We move forward, test, learn and adjust, in our products as in our organisation.

## Our commitments

### Digital sovereignty

Your data stays in Switzerland, in our data centre, subject to Swiss law. We build credible alternatives to dependence on the cloud giants, for our clients and for the digital ecosystem of French-speaking Switzerland.

### Local roots

For 25 years in the canton of Neuchâtel, in La Chaux-de-Fonds, and today in Givisiez too: we train, employ and grow digital skills here, in Switzerland.

### Sustainability

A data centre designed for energy efficiency, shared rather than duplicated infrastructure, and the conviction that digital sustainability also means systems built to last.

### Independence

No outside shareholders, no hidden agenda. Our only obligation is to our clients and our employees, and that changes everything about how we make decisions.

## Supporting our region is part of our DNA

Getting involved in the region where we are based matters to us. To support the vitality of the region that welcomes us, **we invest a significant share of our turnover in local sports, cultural and community events.**

It is a practical commitment: partly a financial contribution, but to a large extent putting our skills at our partners’ disposal.

This lets us demonstrate our expertise in digital infrastructure **while contributing to local initiatives** in sport and culture.

Our motivation is always the same: to get involved locally and to work together!
