About Pittet Associés
Pittet Associés is a Swiss SME of around 30 employees specializing in actuarial, legal and financial consulting for pension funds, insurers and businesses — handling highly sensitive data every day.
The starting point: critical IT with no in-house team
Pittet Associés' IT environment is critical to guaranteeing the availability and security of the sensitive data it handles daily. With no in-house IT skills, the firm needed a partner able to ensure both operational stability and a long-term strategic vision.
The challenge: no in-house IT across five regulated sites
-
No in-house IT skills, in a highly regulated and sensitive environment.
-
Infrastructure spread across five sites, requiring high availability and strong security.
-
A lack of strategic guidance and clarity from the previous provider.
-
A need to modernize the infrastructure while keeping long-term costs under control.
The solution: managed IT, strategic steering and a move to Azure
Pittet Associés chose ANSAM as its global IT partner. The transition from the previous provider went very smoothly. The support is structured around several areas:
-
Service Desk to quickly handle incidents and requests.
-
Strategic steering to modernize the infrastructure and align IT with business goals.
-
Operational collaboration with Ixion (day-to-day support) and Filaos (project management).
-
A key project: the full migration of the infrastructure to the Microsoft Azure cloud, replacing physical servers hosted in Geneva. Delivered on time and on budget, it improved efficiency, security and resilience — with no perceptible disruption for users.
The impact: stronger security, optimized costs, a seamless transition
-
A modernized infrastructure thanks to the move to Microsoft Azure.
-
A smooth transition — employees barely felt the migration.
-
Strategic guidance that creates real business value.
-
Improved security and optimized long-term costs.
