Background
On 17 January 1994, Christian Fischer and David Girardin, then aged 26 and 23, created Icon Informatique & Conseils as a stand-alone entity. They had graduated from the University of Geneva and relied upon the complementarity of their skills. They both felt that the arrival of Microsoft Windows in the market, as a direct competitor of Apple’s Macintosh operating system, had a strong potential to attract an increasing number of companies.
1997 saw a change in the status and name of the company and the creation of Icon Informatics Consulting Networking, a limited liability company, with three staff members.
Icon chooses to expand its services and offers as of 2008 a hosting in datacenter for its clients wishing to outsource the servers. The hardware component of the datacenter is regularly renewed in order to keep up with technological developments and guarantee the best service to customers.
At the same time, monitoring and technical support tools are put in place to prevent breakdowns and respond more quickly to customers' expectations.
Today, the adventure goes on and more than 10 employees are at your service.
