What innobit does

innobit ag is a privately held Swiss IT services and consulting firm headquartered in Basel, founded in 1998, that helps medium-to-large enterprises in Switzerland, southern Germany, and Austria implement digital workplace solutions on the Microsoft 365 platform. The company serves as an implementation, consulting, and managed services partner for Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Exchange Online, and adjacent technologies, with a stated customer base of 100+ organisations across manufacturing (Endress+Hauser, Bell Food Group, Zeiss), retail (Globus, Manor), financial services (Finnova), telecommunications (Swisscom), transportation (SBB CFF FFS), and healthcare (Roche). With a team of 11-50 employees, innobit is positioned as a focused regional Microsoft specialist rather than a broad-line IT generalist.

innobit's core offering is a portfolio of consulting, implementation, and managed services, augmented by a branded family of seven Microsoft 365 add-on packages under the "Smart365" label: SmartProtection365 (cloud backup via AvePoint and Acronis), SmartSync365 (SharePoint/Entra ID synchronisation), SmartLearning365 (e-learning on LMS365/Zensai), SmartAI365 (Microsoft Copilot integration and workshops), SmartTenant365 (tenant management), SmartClient365 (full ICT managed service package), and SmartGovernance365 (governance automation). Its technical stack is centred on the Microsoft ecosystem (Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams, Azure AD, Intune, Exchange Online) with adjunct third-party integrations such as AvePoint, Acronis, LMS365/Zensai, and Microsoft Copilot. innobit also operates as a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP), allowing it to procure and resell Microsoft 365 licences alongside its managed service contracts.

The company generates revenue through three streams: project-based professional services (consulting, implementation, training), recurring managed services (notably SmartClient365 and tenant management), and CSP licence resale. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales via a consultative funnel (inquiry → appointment → tailored offer), supplemented by Microsoft partner channel co-marketing and inbound content marketing (blog, webinars, Basler Tech Apéro events). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts are denominated in CHF and EUR. The firm has remained privately held and bootstrapped since founding, with no disclosed venture capital, institutional investors, acquisitions, or external funding rounds; ownership and GTC documents indicate standard Swiss Aktiengesellschaft terms with liability capped at CHF 2,000,000 per order.
