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.

AI & Microsoft Copilot
AI is already inside your M365 subscription. Are you using it?
Most Swiss SMBs are sitting on unused AI capability — already paid for in their Microsoft licences. I help you deploy it safely, compliantly, and in a way that actually saves your team time.

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.

True sovereignty beyond Microsoft

When Microsoft's Swiss regions aren't enough, I work with three Swiss-domiciled providers that sit entirely outside US jurisdiction — and I'll tell you honestly which one (or which mix) fits.

Exoscale
Swiss alternative to AWS

Pay-as-you-go compute, S3-compatible storage, managed Kubernetes and databases in Zurich and Geneva. Billed by the second, no lock-in.

ISO 27001CLOUD Act exempt
SafeSwissCloud

Infomaniak
Swiss backup & storage

Offsite backup, S3 object storage and kDrive from Switzerland's largest independent hosting company. I set it up, monitor it, and invoice it in CHF.

Swiss Backup100% renewable

Not sure which cloud is right for you? Azure's Swiss regions for M365 workloads, Exoscale for scalable infrastructure, SafeSwissCloud for regulated compliance, Infomaniak for backup and storage — I assess your requirements and recommend the fit. Often it's a combination.

Swiss web hosting
Hosting and backup,
entirely in Switzerland.

Websites run on Novatrend's Swiss infrastructure; offsite backups go to Infomaniak's Swiss datacentres. Your data never leaves Switzerland, and I manage everything — SSL, updates, backup monitoring, restore tests — so you don't have to think about it.

Ideal for: Swiss SMBs, expat business owners, and freelancers who want a reliable, locally-hosted web presence without the technical overhead.

When you work with Techvee, you work with me directly. No account managers, no junior technicians, no helpdesk tickets disappearing into a queue.

Security & compliance

Twelve questions, three minutes, a score out of 100 and a prioritised fix list covering identity, devices, data, Swiss data location and the CLOUD Act.

Run the readiness check → Licensing

Which Microsoft 365 plan do I actually need, and what does it cost in CHF?

Pick what your firm needs and get the lowest plan that covers it, Microsoft's Swiss list price, Copilot included — and what the plan leaves out.

Open the licence advisor → Cost

Retainer, ad-hoc hours or a hire — what does senior IT really cost me?
