IT craftsmanship from Amriswil.
A BOT is an owner-managed IT service provider in the canton of Thurgau. We look after small and medium-sized businesses across German-speaking Switzerland. Personally, reliably and with an open ear.
Many SMEs have nobody who looks after IT full time. Yet the whole business depends on it.
Accounting, email, phones, production: when IT stalls, everything stops. That is where we come in. We plan, build and run IT environments that fit your company, and we stay on board once the project is done.
We know Windows and Linux, virtualised servers, networks and firewalls just as well as business software and modern automation. Above all, though, we listen. Because good IT starts with understanding how your business works.
Our principle: your data belongs to you. That is why we run as much as possible on your own hardware or in data centres in Switzerland.
IT is a matter of trust.
That is why we rely on personal relationships instead of anonymous tickets.
How we work
Four principles you can hold us to.
Honest advice
We recommend what you need, not what earns the biggest margin. Sometimes the best solution is not to buy anything new.
Clean documentation
Your IT must not depend on one person’s memory. Everything we build is documented in a way others can follow.
Open, not locked in
Where it fits, we rely on open-source software. That lowers licence costs and avoids vendor lock-in.
Secure and convenient
Protection that gets in the way of work gets bypassed. We build solutions that are secure and still pleasant to use.
