Open Systems Re-certified as a “Great Place to Work®” 2025 in four countries

Zurich, April 14, 2025 -Open Systems, the leading provider of native, managed SASE solutions, has once again been certified as a Great Place to Work® in Switzerland, Germany, India and the United States for 2025. The prestigious recognition is based on direct, anonymous employee feedback and honors companies that foster a particularly trusting, appreciative, and empowering workplace culture. This marks the third consecutive year that Open Systems has received this certification - a clear reflection of its ongoing commitment to building an inclusive, supportive, and inspiring work environment across all of its global locations.

A Culture with Purpose and Direction

At Open Systems, culture isn’t just a buzzword - it’s a way of life. The company fosters innovation and collaboration to create an environment where people feel valued, can grow, and make a meaningful impact.

Innovation is also reflected in how leadership is lived. Through regular Gemba Walks, CEO Daniel Neuhaus visits teams across the company to engage in direct, open conversations and gain insight into day-to-day work. These interactions reflect a leadership approach that is close to the people, focused on listening, understanding, and actively shaping culture - together. It’s this combination of technological excellence, approachable leadership, and a strong value-driven foundation that makes Open Systems a place where people don’t just contribute; they help shape the future.

“Our success in the cybersecurity space is built on trust - and that starts internally,” says Daniel Neuhaus, CEO of Open Systems. “Being recognized once again at our offices as a Great Place to Work® is not just a confirmation, but a proof point: those who empower their employees and provide meaningful work create the foundation for long-term business success.”

Feedback as Foundation - People as the Driving Force

The Great Place to Work® certification is based entirely on anonymous employee feedback. The renewed certification underscores that Open Systems remains an employer that empowers people - today and in the future:

“Certification as a Great Place to Work® is more than just another label for the website. It is a recognition of the often significant investment organizations make in their workplace culture. It is a testament to the ongoing efforts to create a work environment where every individual feels valued, supported and proud to be a part of”, emphasizes Lorena D‘Agrosa, Marketing & Communications at Great Place to Work ®.

However, for Open Systems, the certification is also more than just a badge of honor - it provides valuable insights into the company’s strengths and areas for improvement. The leadership team is committed to listening, learning, and using this feedback to continuously strengthen and evolve Open System’s culture.
