Physical security and access control systems for critical infrastructure
Dormakaba manufactures door hardware, electronic locks, and entrance systems for airports, hospitals, stadiums, and workplaces globally. The company is mid-scale in cloud adoption (Azure + AWS + SAP S/4HANA migration underway) but runs substantial on-premise infrastructure (SAP ECC, SQL Server, Windows). Active hiring across sales (97 roles) and engineering (82 roles) reflects dual pressure: land large institutional customers and scale internal capabilities around firmware testing, documentation, and data capture in manufacturing workflows.
