Sound familiar?

Swiss SMBs shouldn't have to wrestle with IT

If any of these feel like you, let's have a conversation. The first 30 minutes is on me.

🔒

You're not sure your data is where it should be

Switzerland's nDSG came into force in September 2023. Many businesses have no idea whether their Microsoft 365 data actually lives in Switzerland — or sits in a US datacenter subject to the CLOUD Act.

🧩

Your M365 setup was done by someone who's long gone

It works — mostly. But nobody really knows why things are configured the way they are, and nobody wants to touch it in case something breaks.

🤖

Everyone's talking about AI but you don't know where to start

Microsoft Copilot is already included in many M365 plans — but most businesses have no idea how to deploy it sensibly, or what the Swiss data and compliance implications are.

💰

You need IT expertise but can't justify a full-time hire

A senior IT person in Zurich costs CHF 100,000+ per year. You need maybe 2–3 hours a week. A monthly retainer makes far more sense — and you get a far more experienced person.

What I offer

Clear services. Clear pricing.

No ambiguous day rates, no hidden scopes, no junior technicians billing as seniors.

Microsoft Copilot Implementation

Copilot is built into Teams, Outlook, Word, and Excel. I assess your readiness, handle the rollout, and train your team to use it effectively and safely.

🔄

AI-Powered Workflow Automation

Using Power Automate and AI Builder, I identify and automate repetitive tasks — from document processing to approval flows — cutting hours of admin per week.

🛡️

AI Compliance & Governance (Swiss)

What does the EU AI Act mean for Swiss businesses? How do you govern AI use under nDSG? Clear, practical guidance — not theoretical frameworks.

💡

Custom AI Applications

Hands-on experience building AI-powered business tools — from Swiss QR Bill generators to compliance dashboards. I can scope and build practical AI applications for your specific needs.

Practical AI experience — not just theory

I work with AI tools every day, building real applications and solving real business problems. When I advise you on AI, it comes from hands-on experience, not vendor brochures.

Swiss-specific expertise

I understand Switzerland.
Most IT consultants don't.

From Swiss data residency to licensing quirks specific to Swiss businesses — I've been doing this here for years, including for Swiss-regulated financial institutions.

🏛️

nDSG / FADP Compliance

Switzerland's revised data protection law has real teeth since September 2023. I help you understand your obligations and document your compliance in plain English.

🗺️

Microsoft Swiss Data Residency

Microsoft runs datacenters in Geneva & Zurich. I configure your M365 and Azure to keep data in Switzerland and produce documentation to prove it to auditors or clients.

☁️

CLOUD Act Exposure Assessment

US-headquartered cloud providers are subject to the CLOUD Act regardless of data location. I assess your exposure and document your risk position for stakeholders and legal teams.

📜

Swiss Microsoft CSP Licensing

As a licensed Swiss Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider, I handle your M365 licensing directly — CHF billing, Swiss invoicing, and a local contact who actually responds.

Swiss Compliance

Does your Microsoft 365 data actually live in Switzerland?

AI & Copilot

Microsoft Copilot for Swiss SMBs: what you actually need to know

Copilot is already in your M365 plan — but deploying it safely in a Swiss business context takes more than just switching it on.

Security

The 5 M365 security settings Swiss SMBs almost always have wrong

A quick self-audit checklist that takes 20 minutes and catches the most common configuration mistakes I see across Swiss tenants.
