topsoft365: Products and services 2018

Consulting We advise users to ensure that the software and providers they use meet their customers’ individual requirements. In addition to strategy consultation and process optimisation, we offer support in choosing providers and software, data migration, adaptation and training.

If required, we will also take over project management.

Our background is extremely broad, so we get to grips with complex company structures quickly. This gives you added value. Our many years of experience with business software in the industrial, commercial and service sectors means we can create synergies across these sectors.

Analyse Optimise

Tender

Decide

A key factor behind the success of our consultancy services is neutrality when it comes to software providers. We do not profit in any way from a decision in favour of a particular provider. Rather, as an intermediary we help providers and users synchronise their use of software.

topsoft is schmid + siegenthaler consulting gmbh For over 20 years we have been inspired by the opportunities created by new software. Most of all, we love passing on our expertise in how software can help businesses grow: beginning in 1996 at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland with the topsoft Trade Fair and IT consultancy, and then as an independent business from 2005 with an everincreasing range of services.

Our wide range of services aims to help businesses find the IT solution best suited to them. This of course involves IT providers advertising and demonstrating the benefits of their products. As â&#x20AC;&#x153;intermediaryâ&#x20AC;? we are the platform to do just that. We inspire users to make the most of IT and use our resources to support providers. schmid + siegenthaler consulting gmbh is owned and run by Cyrill Schmid and Dr Marcel Siegenthaler. The topsoft brand stands for a user-focused, yearround B2B platform to find and successfully implement the right solutions for digital business. schmid + siegenthaler consulting gmbh Willistattstrasse 23 | CH-6206 Neuenkirch T +41 41 467 34 20 | www.topsoft.ch
