We started in 1990 in Bern and are now a team of more than 15 people. During this time, we've built our own cloud, set up a data center (now operated by our sister company), founded four other companies, and weathered a cyberattack. What has stayed the same and will continue to: with us, you talk to people who know your environment.
Infopro was founded.
After the Microsoft Partner Conference in Houston Texas, the idea of a cloud platform was born in 2004.
After the idea came the implementation of IP-Cloud. Back then still under the name ASP.
ASP became IP-Cloud.
A dedicated IP-Cloud for Agro-Treuhand agencies and their clients. The AgroCloud is founded.
Founded in 2011, optima solutions has been part of the group since its conversion into a GmbH in 2017. optima solutions has been successfully developing and operating an ERP solution for agricultural and construction machinery workshops, boatyards and harbours for several years.
In 2018, the move to our current location at Chutzenstrasse 20, 3007 Bern was made.
As the acquisition holding company of Infopro AG, Big[Int] AG today holds various qualified participations in different future-oriented companies.
Pinit AG was founded with the goal of eliminating admin hurdles for gastro businesses, maximizing efficiency and automating accounting.
In 2022, JBOD AG took over the data centre and hardware infrastructure from Infopro AG. JBOD AG provides the cloud platform solutions for Infopro AG, all other sister companies, software manufacturers and other IT companies.
On November 21, our systems were attacked and completely shut down for security reasons, which led to days-long outages for many businesses. We did not pay the ransom demanded and instead rebuilt everything from scratch. After four days, the first systems were back up, and after two weeks, everything was restored.
In June 2024, Eutima AG was founded. As a spin-off of Infopro AG, it takes over, alongside other software products, the data and document management platform KYDO developed over the last four years and continues to develop the PINIT platform together with PINIT AG.
Today, InfoPro, a BIG[Int] subsidiary, continues to support all clients. We plan and operate workstations, networks, and cloud environments, integrate the industry-specific software a business already uses, and develop ourselves what isn't available to buy. The servers are located at our sister company JBOD in Bern.
We rarely start from scratch. It's often about connecting proven systems in a way that fits a particular business, coordinating with the vendors whose software needs to work together. What results from this shouldn't just work today, but should still function and remain future-proof in five years. That's why we ask ourselves, with every decision, what it will cost down the line.
On top of that comes support, which is available for urgent issues beyond office hours too. On-call service starts at six in the morning, runs until 11 p.m., and covers weekends as well.
We work within an organizational structure we've developed ourselves, with clear responsibilities but no classic hierarchy. Following the motto "I am responsible," we work as a team and with a lot of personal accountability. Decisions are made by the people best suited to make them, both professionally and personally.
Fundamentally, we look for people who are better, or want to become better, than we are ourselves today. That's sometimes uncomfortable, but it's the reason why, after 36 years, we haven't grown stale.
How this works in everyday life, we'd rather explain to you in person than on a website. A call is enough, and anyone who wants to can drop by.

Big[Int] AG was founded in 2019 to acquire Infopro AG. Today it holds the stakes in all five companies of the group.
Its growth has come rarely through outside acquisitions, but mainly from its own operations: JBOD emerged from Infopro's data center, Eutima from software development. The holding company is owned by people who themselves work within the companies. That's the idea behind it: owners who know the business, rather than investors who manage it.
Big[Int] is the universe, and the four companies within it are the planets: each with its own area of expertise. Thanks to close collaboration, coordination is simple, unbureaucratic, and fast.
The IT that keeps the business running
Consulting, workplaces, networks and support for SMEs, in Bern since 1990. We're usually the galaxy you speak to first, and the one that keeps track. When something goes wrong, the person who calls you back is someone you know by name.
