Our History
Dive into our history and discover our key milestones.
For over 15 years, we have been advising, developing, and implementing innovative solutions.
We support our clients in the areas of ICT, BMS, and SaaS, creating unique workplaces at our Zermatt location.
Oliver Borter and Adrian Perren were already involved in smaller projects long before the founding of WND, starting with web design and domain registrations.
In 1998, Adrian registered the domain www.Web-Net-Design.ch, which is considered the original idea behind the current company.
Together, they further developed this idea, and in 2004, the vision of Web Net Data emerged, accompanied by the registration of the domain wnd.ch, which corresponds to Oliver Borter's present-day company.
What started in the circle of friends and acquaintances gradually gains momentum, and Oli's innovative solutions start to become known.
The first professional projects for businesses are implemented.
These include website development, ISDN high-speed installations, the implementation of a telephone system, and a VOIP project.
The growing demand in the ICT sector and the increasing workload call for a professional structure and a decision.
Oli decides to take the step towards self-employment and founds the company WND (Web Net Data).
An important part of WND are the employees who shape the future with us.
The growing workload allowed us to employ three staff members within just one year, of whom incidentally two still work with us today.
Always at the cutting edge and constantly innovating.
In addition to the popular solutions such as internet, hosting and telephony, special solutions are developed to meet individual customer needs.
For example, topographical conditions require solutions to access remote locations such as mountain huts. What may not be profitable or too complex for others is naturally part of our customer-centric approach. This leads to the implementation of the first directional radio installations.
For a long time, it has been clear to us that the future of building control lies in intelligent networking, not only for our homes but also for the hospitality industry and businesses. Therefore, the first smart projects were implemented as early as 2015.
A year in which many innovative projects were initiated and realized. Based on customer needs, the first TVs with interactive software were installed.
The company establishes itself in the market and excellently meets customer needs with its services. By 2016, we already have six employees.
We at WND also want to provide young people with an exciting and successful start to their professional lives and promote the next generation for our industry.
In 2017, we trained our first apprentice.
Since then, we have been consistently taking on apprentices as IT Specialist, building systems engineers, and media technologists.
The TV software implemented since 2015 could not meet all the requirements and goals of our company. Therefore, the development of our own interactive TV software, as you know it today, began through our own software development team.
The company continues to experience growth, not only in terms of increasing staff numbers, now totaling 16, but also in the need for additional logistical space. This necessitated the establishment of a new office. An optimal solution was found with the location at Bachstrasse 72 in Zermatt, where we are currently situated.
It's already been 10 years since the official founding of the company - a reason to celebrate for us and our customers.
A success that would not have been possible without our loyal employees and customers. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has accompanied and supported us on this journey.
