Stable and scalable cloud ICT for boosting efficiency

Cooperation based on trust and partnership pays off

eicher+pauli modernizes its entire ICT environment with services from Boss Info and Microsoft solutions

eicher+pauli AG (e+p) is working on Switzerland’s energy future and supports various customers throughout Switzerland with delivering projects. Like many Swiss SMEs, e+p aims to provide its team with a modern working environment that enables them to work continuously from any location. Back in 2013, e+p had already decided to put out a tender to replace the classic on-premise solution, which had become increasingly user-unfriendly and unstable. At the time, Boss Info was hired to transform the company’s ICT landscape into an outsourced private cloud solution with MPLS (multi-layer switching network), a task that involved a major overhaul.

“Since then, we have already successfully gone through 3 lifecycle phases together. Since this switch 10 years ago, we have had a high-performance, stable and scalable ICT solution that can be adapted to our needs at any time,” says Andreas Wirz, CDO at e+p. “The flexible, professional and expert advice of our total solution partner Boss Info enables us to make targeted use of the chosen solutions and services and strike the right balance between costs, convenience, efficiency and security.”

Sophisticated security concept offers greater protection against cybercrime

The pandemic starkly illustrated how changes in working methods and working models place high demands on ICT infrastructure. Nowadays, collaboration functionalities from the cloud are a must-have. However, transitioning to a modern ICT workplace presents SMEs with challenges that, until recently, only affected large corporations. What’s more, SMEs are increasingly being targeted by cybercriminals as well. “The art of developing a concept for the modern ICT workplace in combination with cloud solutions lies in having the security measures in place to be generally prepared for cyber attacks,” explains Christian Zimmermann, Project Manager at Boss Info.

An array of perfectly coordinated applications

Seamless interaction between different applications is vital. As well as numerous integrated graphics applications, which are indispensable for e+p’s planning operations and must be available 24/7, SharePoint/Teams has supplemented the company’s toolset since 2022.
