Question 1

Accepted Answer

Yes. CNEXT (Collaboration NEXT GmbH) is a Microsoft Partner based in Bern, Switzerland, with 12 Microsoft Applied Skills certifications across SharePoint, Power Platform, Azure AI and Copilot Studio. We deliver Microsoft projects for Swiss SMBs, large enterprises and the public sector.

Question 2

Which Swiss cities does CNEXT serve?

Accepted Answer

Our headquarters is in Bern. We serve customers across Switzerland – Bern, Zurich, Basel, Lucerne, Zug, Stans, Thun, Geneva and Lausanne – and internationally. On-site and remote engagements are both available.

Question 3

Which Microsoft technologies does CNEXT cover?

Accepted Answer

SharePoint Online and Server, Microsoft 365 (Teams, OneDrive, Exchange), Microsoft Copilot and Copilot Studio, Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Power Pages), Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Entra ID, and Microsoft 365 Backup. We also cover Replit Enterprise for vibe coding and custom apps.

Question 4

How does CNEXT ensure FADP (nDSG) compliance for Swiss clients?

Accepted Answer

CNEXT configures Microsoft 365 tenants with Swiss/EU data residency, up-to-date data processing agreements, retention policies, DLP rules and sensitivity labels. We document the processing register for the FDPIC and advise on FADP-compliant AI deployments (Copilot, Azure OpenAI) with data-in-Switzerland guarantees.

Question 5

What is the SharePoint Storage Monster and how does it help?

Accepted Answer

SharePoint Storage Monster (sharepoint-storage-monster.com) is a CNEXT-built SaaS tool that scans Microsoft 365 tenants and identifies storage waste – duplicate files, orphaned versions, unused sites. Swiss clients typically reclaim 40–60 % of storage, directly reducing Microsoft 365 storage overage costs.

Question 6

What is Replit Enterprise and why does CNEXT offer it?

Accepted Answer

Replit Enterprise is a cloud-based AI-assisted development platform ('vibe coding') that enables rapid prototyping and full-stack app delivery. CNEXT is a Replit partner and uses it to build custom Microsoft 365 extensions, AI agents and internal tools faster than traditional development – with full source-code ownership.

Question 7

How long does a typical CNEXT SharePoint project take?

Accepted Answer

A SharePoint Online intranet project (information architecture, branding, 5–10 page types, search, governance) typically runs 6–16 weeks depending on scope and client decision speed. A SharePoint migration (on-premises to Online) runs 4–12 weeks. CNEXT delivers a binding timeline after a discovery workshop.

Question 8

Does CNEXT offer ongoing Microsoft 365 managed services?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CNEXT provides Microsoft 365 managed services: tenant health monitoring, security reviews, licence optimisation, SharePoint governance, Copilot adoption coaching and helpdesk. Contracts start from CHF 1,500/month for SMBs. We act as a trusted single point of contact for all Microsoft 365 topics.

Question 9

Can CNEXT help with Copilot Studio agent development from Zurich or Basel?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Although headquartered in Bern, CNEXT serves clients across Switzerland including Zurich, Basel, Geneva and Lucerne. Most Copilot Studio agent projects run remotely (screen sharing, Microsoft Teams), with on-site workshops in any Swiss city on request.

Question 10

What makes CNEXT different from other Microsoft Partners in Switzerland?

This specialisation means deeper expertise in SharePoint, Power Platform, Copilot Studio and Agentic AI. Our team of 12 specialists has delivered 100+ Microsoft 365 projects for Swiss clients since 2010.
