5 technology trends for 2025

2. cloud migration and cloud-first strategy

In 2025, the move from local systems to the cloud will be at the top of the agenda. A cloud-first strategy creates flexible working environments, reduces costs and increases IT security.

Why it is relevant for SMEs:

• Lower costs for hardware and maintenance.
• Location-independent access to data and applications.
• Scalable IT infrastructure that grows as the company grows.

We support your company in migrating to cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure, AWS or Google Cloud, including individual adaptation to existing systems.

3. IT security: focus on cybersecurity

SMEs in Switzerland in particular are increasingly becoming the target of cyber attacks, as they often implement fewer protective measures than large companies. This will be important in 2025:

Cloud security

Companies must take cloud security seriously, encrypt their data and implement security guidelines. Protecting cloud data and infrastructure is crucial as cloud solutions become increasingly important.

Ransomware attacks and defense

Regular backups, continuous security updates and a disaster recovery plan are necessary. Ransomware continues to grow and companies need to prepare for potential attacks.

Identity data protection

Secure management of identity data is critical to protect against fraud and cybercrime.

Regular security updates

Regular scans and rapid patch management are necessary to close known security gaps. Updated systems are less susceptible to attacks.

Training and sensitization of employees

Employees should be regularly trained in cyber security to avoid phishing and social engineering. Well-informed employees reduce the risk of attacks.

Supply chain security

Companies must conduct regular security audits of third-party suppliers and establish secure supplier relationships to prevent vulnerabilities in the supply chain.

4. Low-code and no-code platforms conquer the market

The demand for low-code and no-code platforms will continue to rise in 2025. Companies are increasingly relying on these technologies to develop applications quickly and reduce costs at the same time. They make it possible to create software solutions without in-depth programming knowledge – ideal for SMEs that want to remain agile.

Why it’s relevant for SMEs:

• Rapid development: applications can be created in a matter of days rather than months.
• Cost reduction: Less reliance on external developers or agencies.
• Flexibility: Adaptations can be carried out internally without long waiting times.

soxes supports your company in the selection and implementation of suitable platforms. We not only advise you on technology selection, but also help with integration into existing IT landscapes so that your team can get started right away.

5. sustainable IT and green tech

Sustainability has also arrived in software development. In 2025, the focus will increasingly be on energy-efficient technologies and sustainable IT strategies. This includes both the operation of data centers and the development of software that uses resources sparingly. This also means never using modern programming languages that support your software solutions in the long term. Find out more here!

Why it is relevant for your company:

• Cost reduction: Lower energy consumption means lower operating costs.
• Image gain: Sustainability is increasingly perceived by customers as a decision criterion.
• Regulatory requirements: More and more countries are introducing stricter laws on CO₂ emissions and sustainable IT.

With our expertise, we develop energy-efficient software solutions and help to optimize existing IT infrastructures. Whether cloud optimization or efficient processes – we ensure that your company works sustainably in 2025.
