Infomaniak and kSuite: the Swiss, eco-friendly alternative for your SME

Infomaniak kSuite for Swiss SMEs: email, cloud, video meetings and collaboration tools hosted in Switzerland with renewable energy. Practical guide.

In 2026, most Swiss SMEs still entrust their emails, files and collaboration tools to American tech giants. Yet a local alternative exists: Infomaniak, a Geneva-based company founded in 1994, offers kSuite — a complete platform that competes with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace without compromising your data sovereignty.

Why choose a Swiss solution?

With Switzerland's new Federal Data Protection Act (nFADP), data localization is no longer optional. Hosting with a US provider means your data falls under the CLOUD Act, allowing American authorities to access your data without your consent.

  • Data hosted exclusively in Switzerland, in ISO 27001 certified datacenters
  • No submission to the US CLOUD Act or EU GDPR — Swiss law only
  • Native nFADP compliance without additional configuration
  • No data resale to third parties, no advertising profiling

kSuite: everything an SME needs

kSuite brings together all essential collaboration tools in a single platform:

  • kMail: professional email with your domain, 20 GB per mailbox, built-in antispam and antivirus
  • kDrive: cloud storage with sync, file sharing and versioning (up to 6 TB)
  • kMeet: video conferencing without installation, up to 100 participants, no time limit
  • kChat: team messaging with channels, threads and file sharing
  • kPaste: large file transfer (up to 20 GB) with secure links
  • Online office suite: collaborative documents, spreadsheets and presentations (Microsoft Office compatible)

The environmental argument

Infomaniak is one of Europe's most environmentally committed hosting providers. Unlike American hyperscalers who offset their carbon footprint with credits, Infomaniak takes concrete action:

  • 100% certified renewable energy powering all datacenters
  • Free cooling (outdoor air), no energy-intensive air conditioning
  • Server lifespan extended to 15 years minimum (vs 3-5 years at Big Tech)
  • 200% carbon offset via myclimate certified projects
  • ISO 14001 (environmental management) and ISO 50001 (energy management) certified

How much does it cost?

kSuite starts at CHF 5.54/user/month (kSuite Standard). For an SME of 10 people, that's around CHF 55/month — comparable to Microsoft 365 Business Basic, but with Swiss hosting and eco-responsibility included.

The kSuite Pro plan (CHF 9.42/user/month) adds more kDrive storage, advanced video conferencing and priority support.

What about Microsoft tools?

Infomaniak doesn't cut you off from the Microsoft ecosystem. kSuite's online office suite is fully compatible with .docx, .xlsx and .pptx formats. Your teams can open, edit and save Office files without any formatting loss.

For companies that need desktop Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), it's perfectly possible to combine Microsoft Office licenses with Infomaniak infrastructure for email, cloud and collaboration.

How does a migration work?

At AlpiCode, we support migration to Infomaniak in 4 steps:

  • Audit of existing setup (emails, files, licenses, DNS, security)
  • Migration planning (timeline, internal communication, backup)
  • Technical migration (mailboxes with history, files to kDrive, DNS configuration)
  • Team training and post-migration support (30 days included)

A standard migration for an SME of 5 to 20 workstations takes 1 to 3 weeks, without business interruption. Infomaniak's support team, based in Geneva, is available 7 days a week.
