ABOUT US
Who We Are
Headquartered in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, Data Migration International (DMI) is a global leader in enterprise data management, application retirement, and intelligent data migration. For nearly three decades, we’ve empowered organizations to streamline IT landscapes, slash operational costs, and unlock the true value of their historical data.
Across industries and continents, legacy systems continue to drain IT budgets and pose compliance risks. Our mission is to eliminate this burden. We help organizations decouple operational from historical data, retain only what’s needed, and securely retire outdated systems—without losing access to business-critical information.
Founded by Thomas Failer—recognized as a pioneer in enterprise IT and a finalist for EY’s Entrepreneur Of The Year 2024—DMI was built on a clear principle: your past should never hinder your future.
The nomination highlights not only his visionary leadership but also DMI’s role as one of Switzerland’s most innovative and fastest-growing tech companies, shaping the future of sustainable enterprise IT.
