Create tomorrow. Today.
The EFEXCON GROUP combines strategy and transformation consulting, enterprise architecture, data & AI engineering, and cutting-edge AI products to help organizations actively shape the future.
Digital transformation doesn’t start with technology, but with a clear vision and a robust architecture.
The EFEXCON GROUP supports organizations along the entire value chain:
Strategy:
We develop target states, transformation strategies, and operating models.
Enterprise Architecture:
We create the connection between business strategy, processes, applications, data, and technologies.
Data & AI Engineering:
We build modern data platforms and AI solutions.
Sovereign AI Products & Companions:
We integrate artificial intelligence into everyday work in the form of sovereign AI companions—controllable, secure, and tailored to the needs of European companies.
We combine strategy, architecture, data, and sovereign AI to create the intelligent organization of tomorrow.
Companies in the Group
One Group. Three Perspectives. One Goal.
We combine strategy, technology, and advanced AI.
The challenges facing modern organizations cannot be solved in isolation. Successful transformation occurs where strategy, architecture, technology, and innovation work together.
That is why the EFEXCON GROUP brings together three specialized companies under one roof.
Each unit fulfills a clear role—together, we guide organizations from the initial vision to the productive use of artificial intelligence.

Data Protection and Infromation Security
The future of AI must not be dictated by dependencies.
Today, organizations need more than just powerful technologies. They need control over data, models, and infrastructure.
With our combination of Swiss-made software, ISO 27001-compliant security standards, and robust AI architectures, we lay the foundation for trustworthy and future-proof AI solutions.
Swiss Made Software & AI
Quality, reliability, and long-term partnerships—developed in Switzerland, built for Europe.
Datenschutz & Sicherheit
Designed for sensitive data and regulated environments—in compliance with the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG).
Digital Sovereignty
Control over data, models, and infrastructure—for greater independence, transparency, and future-proofing.
ISO 27001
Informationssicherheit nach international anerkannten Standards.
+AI Label
Wir tragen das «+AI» Label. Wir entwickeln unsere KI-Services in der Schweiz und betreiben sie auf eigener Infrastruktur — als mandantengetrenntes SaaS-Angebot auf der SOVAIA-Plattform, und wo die Anforderungen es verlangen als dedizierte Instanz bis hin zum air-gapped Betrieb ohne Anbindung an öffentliche Netze.
Die Modelle, die wir in unseren Diensten einsetzen, sind Open-Weight-Modelle, die wir selbst auf eigener GPU-Infrastruktur ausführen — ein Sprachmodell der Gemma-Familie für Dialog und Werkzeugaufrufe, dazu Modelle für Spracherkennung und Sprachsynthese sowie ein lokal betriebenes Embedding-Modell für die Suche in bereitgestellten Inhalten. Für rechenintensive Arbeitslasten ziehen wir grosse Open-Source-Modelle hinzu, etwa gpt-oss-120b, die ebenfalls in der Schweiz betrieben werden. Wir verarbeiten keine Anfragen über öffentliche KI-Schnittstellen, trainieren kein eigenes Modell und passen bestehende Modelle nicht durch Finetuning an.

Your award Winning Travel solution 1ClickTrips is so cool, I love it. The fact that you can just put in the .ics or calendar and it does the rest is awesome. Most amazing part was that it took care of my trip to and from the airport, including public transport in Warsaw.

Partnerships with Impact
Open. Autonomous. Future-proof.
We help organizations connect their existing system landscapes with modern data and AI platforms and evolve them to be future-proof.
To do this, we combine leading enterprise technologies such as Microsoft Fabric, Azure AI, HPE AI Factory, and HPE Data Fabric with open standards, open-source technologies, and sovereign operating models.
Our goal is not to be tied to individual vendors, but to develop architectures that remain flexible, manageable, and independent in the long term.
Technology follows strategy and architecture. Not the vendor.
