Integrators, IT providers, software vendors

You integrate. We host.

A significant share of the clients hosted at D&D was entrusted to us by IT providers. The principle is simple: you keep your client and your business, we keep the Swiss infrastructure running underneath.

We do not take your place

D&D does no application integration and does not approach its partners’ clients.

Visibility on your terms

You decide how visible D&D is to your client.

A technical contact

You talk to someone who knows your files, not to a generic front desk.

Swiss infrastructure

An argument you can put to your client, and one we can document.

The principle

An integrator who hosts their clients’ servers themselves ends up doing two jobs, one of which they did not choose.

On-call rotas, backups, system updates, ageing hardware, the night a host fails: these are real skills and a real commitment. They have little to do with configuring an ERP or developing a business application.

Our proposition is to take exactly that part, and nothing more. You remain your client’s contact for their business; we are the infrastructure behind, at whatever level of visibility you choose.

This is not a convenient sales position: part of our business rests on the trust of providers who have been entrusting clients to us for years. The day we started approaching those clients, that model would end — and we know it.

The split, in practice

You

  • The commercial relationship with your client
  • Integration, configuration, development
  • Functional support to end users
  • Acceptance testing and application version upgrades
  • Choosing how visible D&D is

D&D

  • The infrastructure: hardware, virtualisation, storage, network
  • Operating systems and their updates
  • Backups and restorations
  • Infrastructure monitoring
  • Test environments on request
  • Technical migration from the existing hosting

The profiles we work with

What we put in place for our partners

A named technical contact

Your requests do not go back to the bottom of a queue every time.

Environments on request

Test machines, acceptance environments, temporary instances for a migration.

Discretion by choice

D&D can stay in the background towards your client, or work alongside you openly. It is your call.

Documentary material

Location, operations, access, data centre characteristics: enough to answer your client’s or their auditor’s questions in writing.

Grouped management

Several clients, several instances, several domains: management is organised so that you do not lose time.

Continuity over time

D&D has operated its infrastructure since 2007. Your clients will not have to change provider because ours changed strategy.

A first client to host?

The simplest way is to start with one concrete case. Describe it to us: we will tell you what we would do and what it costs.
