What Corporate Software does

Corporate Software AG (CoSo) is a Swiss Microsoft Cloud consulting firm founded in 2011 and headquartered in Bern, operating primarily within Switzerland with a DACH-leaning strategic posture following its end-2024 integration into the SPIE Schweiz family. The company delivers consulting, customization, and training services across three solution areas: Collaboration (Microsoft 365, Teams, SharePoint modernization), Data & AI (data integration, machine learning, advanced analytics, Power BI, predictive models), and Automation (Power Platform, UiPath RPA, agentic workflows). Its technical stack is anchored on the Microsoft ecosystem — Azure, Microsoft 365, Teams, Power BI, Power Automate, Power Apps — supplemented by UiPath and, more recently, GPT-4o-powered generative AI delivered through the proprietary ASKIA enterprise chatbot hosted exclusively in Swiss Azure data centers.

The company's proprietary product surface centers on ASKIA (an enterprise AI chatbot providing 24/7 retrieval over internal regulations and documents with Swiss data sovereignty), the Zero Trust Assessment (a fixed-price, four-day structured Microsoft 365 security review at CHF 8,000), and CoSo Voice Service (a managed Teams telephony offering on Sunrise UPC infrastructure with a CHF 1,900 starter package). It monetizes through a mix of project-based professional services, subscription-based managed services, and fixed-price product packages; revenue is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting Swiss enterprises, public administration, and regulated organizations, delivered through CoSo Academy training, the Microsoft Partner Network, and direct consulting engagement.

Customer evidence skews toward Swiss public administration and regulated mid-to-large organizations, including armasuisse, Wirtschaftliche Landesversorgung, Kanton Bern, SECO, WEKO, Rhätische Bahn, Die Post, Ypsomed, Swiss TPH, Pensionskasse Post, Pensionskasse SBB, Revor, and GS1 Switzerland. The company holds three Microsoft Solutions Partner designations (Modern Work, Data & AI, Digital & App Innovation with Azure), Advanced Specializations in Adoption and Change Management and Calling for Microsoft Teams, plus deep certification credentials across its 11–50 person team (48 MCAs, 16 MCEs, 13 MCTs, 1 MVP, and 16 SAFe certifications). Membership in SPIE Switzerland since end-2024 provides access to the broader SPIE Group's distribution in energy and communications services across DACH.

Direct peers

• Avanade: Joint Accenture–Microsoft venture and the largest pure-play Microsoft Cloud consulting firm globally. Closest functional peer — same Microsoft solution areas, similar advanced specializations, and similar consulting-led services model — but operating at vastly larger scale across multiple continents.
• ti&m (TI&M): Swiss digital consulting and software engineering firm (ti&m AG) headquartered in Zurich. Competes directly with CoSo for Swiss enterprise M365, Azure, and custom development projects, with a similar size band and a strong banking/insurance vertical.
• Elca Informatique: One of the largest independent Swiss IT services firms, offering custom software development, cloud, and managed services. Comparable on Swiss enterprise/government customer base and broad IT services model, though larger and with proprietary software product lines.
• Ergon Informatik: Swiss IT services company specializing in custom software, cloud, and security for enterprises and public administration. Direct competitor for regulated-industry and government mandates in Switzerland, with overlapping Microsoft and security engineering capabilities.
• Adfinis: Swiss open-source and IT infrastructure services firm (Adfinis AG) with strong enterprise and public-sector client base. Comparable on Swiss market focus and Microsoft/Linux cloud services, though more infrastructure-centric than CoSo's application/AI focus.
• Aequilibrium: Canadian Microsoft Cloud consulting and digital product firm with strong Microsoft partnership credentials. Comparable on Microsoft-centric service portfolio and SI-led delivery, though serving a different geographic market (North America).
• Catapult Systems: US-based Microsoft Cloud consulting firm (now part of Quisitive) focused on Azure, M365, and Dynamics. Closest US analog in terms of size band, Microsoft-only services focus, and consulting-led GTM, though serving the North American mid-market.
• HSO: Global Microsoft Dynamics and Azure consultancy headquartered in the UK with strong European presence. Direct peer on Microsoft Cloud implementation, managed services, and AI/Copilot enablement for enterprise customers.

Broad incumbents

• T-Systems: Deutsche Telekom's enterprise IT services arm, a broad incumbent offering cloud, SAP, and Microsoft services across Europe. Overlaps with CoSo on Microsoft Cloud and managed services for large European enterprises and public-sector clients, but at vastly greater scale and a wider portfolio.
• KPMG Switzerland: Big Four advisory firm in Switzerland with a Microsoft Cloud and digital transformation practice. Competes for the same enterprise and public-sector transformation mandates, but as a broad management consulting and audit incumbent rather than a Microsoft-only specialist.
