About

Swiss IT, designed for SMEs that want concrete results.

AlpenData combines rigorous technical direction and clear budget control to make IT for SMEs in French-speaking Switzerland clear, reliable and sovereign.

Story

Why AlpenData exists

AlpenData was born from a simple observation: many SMEs depend on poorly documented IT, on providers who are hard to read, or on solutions too complex for their actual needs.

On one side, David saw the technical consequences in the field: unmanaged workstations, forgotten access rights, backups never tested, scattered support, dependence on a single person.

On the other, he saw the impact from the management side: costs that are hard to understand, IT decisions made under pressure, lack of visibility on risks and investments often poorly prioritised.

AlpenData brings these two requirements together: technical rigour and budget clarity. The goal is to make IT clear, reliable and sovereign for SMEs in French-speaking Switzerland.

Approach

Why this approach matters for your SME

At AlpenData, the technical side and the strategic side move forward together. This makes it possible to propose realistic, secure solutions adapted to the size of your SME: without overscaling, without unnecessary jargon, and without pushing tools that do not serve your business.

Technical direction

The infrastructure is secured, documented, monitored. Incidents are handled before you even feel them.

Strategic & financial direction

Every IT decision is justified, budgeted and aligned with your priorities. Nothing oversized, nothing opaque.

AlpenData holds both requirements together: a technical direction to secure and manage your infrastructure, and strategic steering to keep your IT choices understandable, useful and financially under control.

AlpenData LinkedIn

A computer engineer with over 10 years of experience managing systems, networks and infrastructure, David worked with organisations of all sizes before founding AlpenData.

In the field, he saw the same problems repeat themselves: unmanaged workstations, forgotten access rights, backups never tested, scattered support, dependence on a single person. Situations that are avoidable with a structured approach.

AlpenData is his concrete answer: rigorous, documented and predictable IT management for SMEs in French-speaking Switzerland.

Our principles

What we believe in

Clarity over jargon

You need to understand what you are paying for, what is secured, what is not yet, and why a technical decision is being proposed. Our reports are written in plain language, without unnecessary acronyms.

Solid technology, controlled budget

An IT solution must be reliable, but also suited to the size and means of your company. We favour useful choices, not oversized architectures.

Data sovereignty

Whenever possible, we favour Swiss hosting, in particular Infomaniak, in order to keep your data within a local, transparent and controlled framework.

Prevention rather than emergency

Our job is not only to respond when something breaks. It is to identify risks before they disrupt your business. A good IT provider is one you do not hear from.

Our limits

What we refuse to do

Some practices that are common in the IT sector are incompatible with the way we work.

Vague contracts and terms that change during an engagement
Technical jargon left unexplained in reports or exchanges
Data hosted outside Switzerland without documented justification
Reactive support with no follow-up or documented history
Solutions oversized for the actual size of your company
Infrastructure handed over without complete documentation
