a few API Management / iPaaS evaluation projects with Swiss customers showed us, that snapLogic is now well present in Europe.

This pragmatic and easy to use low code platform convinced our customers and our team.

snapLogic is a well established in the market and the graphical approach delivers well documented integration flows. The IRIS AI supports building integration flows in a snap :-)

For many customers, snapLogic will replace a series of different tools with one integrated development and monitoring platform, as it is covering:

- ETL/ELT for data integration

- EAI/ESB for application integration

- API Management

- 2 Integration / Solution Architects (German speaking) for interesting large-scale projects in the Swiss Government

- 2 Integration / Middleware developers (German speaking) for interesting large-scale projects with WSO2 in the Swiss Government

- 2 Integration / Middleware developers for interesting platform roll-out projects in Basel/Zürich

- 1 Architect / Product Owner with BSS/OSS background for our Telcom Team in Zürich

- 1 BI Frontend Developer for our Pharma Process Innovation team

we are most happy that a few data scientists and BI solution developers have joined our team in Portugal and Italy!

For some of our projects this can be a very good option for skilled colleagues with family, who do not want to move permanently to Switzerland. Usually the project will demand not a lot of travel, but only 2-3 workshops in Switzerland or closeby France/Germany per year. 

over the last few months we had several new colleagues joining t2b that are supporting our biggest Pharma customer's Innovation team with

• data strategy
• data search & integration
• data modelling
• data analytics, data science and visualization.

we see that as an extension of our long-standing data architecture group

-> interested in data modelling and data science ?

we are looking for new colleages in Switzerland 

ask Patrick Toenz for details

the WSO2 open source integration platform is in a big roll-out for many units within the Swiss Federal Government.

We are most happy to support the FOITT/BIT and its customers with architecture & implementation support for 

• API Management Projects
• Integration Flows
• connecting the applications developes by huge SAFe teams

t2b is supporting this government platform since 2016 for 2 Federal departments, but now many others go for it !

t2b and Devoteam announced today that t2b is taking over the Architecture & Integration unit in Switzerland from Devoteam per 1st May 2021

Devoteam, headquartered in Paris, is a leader in digital transformation with 8000 consultants in EMEA, specializing in the main Cloud platforms (ServiceNow, AWS, Google, Microsoft, and Salesforce).

“In that context, our Swiss Architecture unit was too small, and we were looking for a good solution for our Swiss employees. t2b with its core business on architecture & integration was a natural partner”, said Bert Schaap, senior VP of Devoteam. The Swiss Devoteam entity will continue to focus on the ServiceNow cloud platform.

Patrick Toenz, t2b’s CEO said “I am excited for this opportunity to extend our team of senior architects with the new colleagues from Devoteam. We also hope that Devoteam’s Swiss customers will see the added value of t2b’s strong focus on enterprise, data, and integration architecture.”

t2b has been serving Swiss multinational customers in Enterprise Architecture, Data Architecture & Governance, and Integration Architecture since 2001. Currently, the majority of its 25 senior architects are working on Information & Knowledge Management initiatives at t2b’s Pharma customers and on enabling the Swiss Government’s digital transformation with integration architecture & API platform design.

Dear Members,

as announced during our General Assembly, our aim is to provide a monthly opportunity for interesting talks on Cybersecurity, Compliance, and Awareness issues.

We are happy to invite you to our next online event which will take place online on Thursday 10th of September, 17.30-19:30 through WebEx.  

Agenda

17:30 - 18:30. Patrick Toenz, CEO, t2b AG

S1: CISO’s dream: how to encrypt any data easily, selectively & consistently

Summary: Every company is using or wants to use Office365, G Suite, AWS, Azure etc.  But moving data to the cloud has a risk and Patrick will show how you can easily mitigate that with an encryption gateway. An encryption gateway allows even Swiss government units to put personal data on the public cloud – as the data is encrypted at rest and in transit. With the keys and algorithms of your choice. Of course, the proposed approach also works for Intranet applications. A dream?

Bio: Patrick Toenz is working in IT for 35 years, in 2001 he created t2b - specialised on pragmatic Enterprise, Integration, Data & Security Architecture. t2b’s headquarter is in in Basel and they have an office in Bern since 2014. With his team of senior architects, Patrick is supporting Swiss Top500 Companies & Government units in those areas.

18:30-19:30: Raoul ("Nobody") Chiesa, ICT Security Senior Expert, Visionary Entrepreneur, Key Note Speaker, Cybersecurity Adviser and CyberGlobetrotter

S2: “The CISO's dilemma”

Summary: insight about having a strategy vs having a technology, with the usual plethora of anecdotes and examples.

Bio:  Raoul Chiesa starts his web adventure at the age of twelve. He first sneaked into military and government institutions and banks. Internationally famous, he affirms his role and shows his skills by sneaking into Banca d’Italia in 1995. Shortly after, SCO (Central Operative Section of the Italian Police), on a FBI hint, arrests him with thirteen different charges. After persuading the enquirers of his good faith, he spends four months in house detention. Finally, this event forced him out of the dark web and start working on cybersecurity. He defines himself as an “ethical hacker” and becomes the European leader in cybersecurity helping several governments facing web-related issues.

your t2b team

we are most happy that one of our senior architects was selected by one of our big Pharma customers as lead for their strategic data initiative!

This is a real core business transformation programm - we wish the team a good start & a successful first phase!

t2b's Quality Management System passed the ISO9001 audit!

when working on customer sites, we most often have to adhere to our valued customers' Quality Management Systems. Documents we produce for them are stored on customers' infrastructure and the corresponding processes are documented there.

For t2b projects, internal process, as well for our consulting and architecture work we also follow our t2b QMS processes, which "live" on our Office365 Sharepoint environment (called bluediks) for the bigger part.

We are proud that we passed our initial audit without any findings!

You find our certificate here 

Many thanks to the team!

Patrick Toenz

yet another Federal Department entered into a frame agreement with t2b for architecture consulting services.

Looking forward to working with the ISCeco!

t2b received the frame agreements for supporting projects with architecture consulting from 2 different federal departments DETEC (german: UVEK) and FOITT (german: BIT) .

We are happy to be their trusted partners and are looking forward to interesting projects!

one of our colleague was in charge for the architecture of a major project in a bank in Brussels for the last 3 years. Welcome back !

Yenlo is triggering stage 2 of its expansion strategy and buys 100% the shares of our joint venture in Switzerland. A new manager for Yenlo DACH will be appointed soon.

Cooperation between Yenlo and t2b will continue, but Patrick Toenz no longer is managing Yenlo Switzerland. 

another industry customer decided to move to the flexible EA repository from our partner Orbus. iServer convices with a VISIO Frontend well integrated into it's repository.

one of t2b classic services: IT Planning in merger & aquisition situations. In this case the customer had to find out where the overlaps are between the 2 companies are:

• in the business processes
• in application functionality
• and in the data 

Based on this analysis a roadmap was defined and the application & data migration planed and started.

The had work is still to come of course ....

t2b helped to improve the airline's business processes, data analysis and reporting capabilities - from the classic DWH/reporting solutions to the new self-service BI capabilities. 

Problems with data? ask t2b.
