Business customers

Swisscom is keen to continue to build on its strong market position in the business customer segment – both in the core telecommunications business by enhancing value differentiation and through further expansion as a leading IT service provider. We want to provide the most reliable solutions in hybrid ICT environments and the best customer experience.

Efficiency

Swisscom will further increase efficiency in its Swiss core business, mainly by simplifying products, platforms and processes and by making the organisation leaner. However, in 2023, inflation, with rising energy prices and higher labour costs, is making it impossible to keep the cost-cutting momentum going after savings in excess of CHF 100 million in each of the last few years.
