VSHN - The DevOps Company

Full house at #DevOpsDays Zurich day 2 in Winterthur! Come to our booth and say hello! 👋 #dodzh

Digital sovereignty is becoming real.

At #TRANSFORM2026 in Bern: less strategy, more implementation. From e-ID to data infrastructure, things are taking shape.

Key takeaway: "Buy European" isn't enough - Open Source is what truly enables sovereignty.

#OpenSource #DigitalSovereignty

Digital sovereignty is no longer theoretical - it is already running in production.

What started as a Swiss healthcare modernization project has now become a global Red Hat Success Story announced during Red Hat Summit 2026 in Atlanta 🇨🇭🚀

A huge thank you to the entire HIN team for the great collaboration and trust and to all VSHNeers who helped make this possible ❤️
