Our services at a glance

Since its creation in 1973 in Geneva, DCS has capitalized on three ranges of complementary services and offers its customers recognized expertise in Switzerland.

IT and Administrative outsourcing

This flagship activity has grown strongly since the strengthening of the IT teams at CERN (between 1975 and today) and following a first contract with ESO in Germany and then in South America.

DCS responds to all companies (whatever their size) for IT or administrative services.

By relying on its ability to recruit the right people for all types of missions, DCS can take charge of entire areas of services in a company such as secretarial services, HR, accounting, technical operations, IT maintenance, IT development projects, etc.

Data entry and digitization

Historically, DCS remains one of the leaders in entering data such as coupons, polls, surveys (we do this for HUG for example) with the confidentiality of a Geneva-based company. We enter your engagement surveys (HR), statistics, scientific or commercial.

Since the 2000s we have been offering the document scanning service (to set up EDM - Electronic Document Management). DCS works for banks, large companies etc… and carries out projects amounting to millions of pages.

Recruitment

Whether it is to supply our own services or for clients looking for the right IT or administrative profile.

We offer services related to temporary or permanent staff placement in our two areas of predilections that are IT and Administration.

International positioning

DCS has two offices, in Switzerland and Chile.

Large American companies (like Walmart) trust DCS.

History

DCS was founded over 40 years ago, in 1973, in Geneva by the Galle family. We are on the cusp of computers and many fiduciaries need to process documents.

We still speak little of "outsourcing" but that is indeed what DCS offers its creation: services enabling its customers to focus only on their business, without having to manage staff management issues for operations without added value.

These were mainly data entry operations (hence the name Data Conversion Service). In 1974, DCS created a school of data entry operators to meet the demand for qualified personnel.

In 1975, DCS obtained a first service contract with CERN to provide IT support (or outsourcing) for the computer center.

Here again, the aim is to let CERN management concentrate on other tasks directly related to its project.

We are partner with CERN for 46 years now.

Since its creation, DCS confirms its expertise in outsourcing IT and Administration and these two themes are really the company’s DNA.

To develop its services and provide its customers with well-trained quality staff, DCS set up in 1975 a department dedicated solely to recruitment (permanent and temporary recruitment) in its two areas of predilection: IT and Administration.

From 1975, everything was in place to support our customers in the successive evolutions and revolutions in IT, and administrative services.
