Swiss specifics

What is different in Switzerland

Legal practice software

The Swiss market imposes requirements that an international solution usually lacks — it is built for other legal systems. Buy from abroad and you notice at the year-end close, in the VAT filing or with the first payroll declaration. These are the points that decide in this category:

Deadline control
Conflict-of-interest check
Data hosted in SwitzerlandData residency in Switzerland is not a legal requirement but frequently a procurement one — especially for personal data and public contracts. Ask where the data centre is, not where the vendor is registered.
Data locationSwiss data centres are not a legal requirement, but often a procurement criterion – especially for personal data and public-sector contracts.
Ten-year retentionThe Swiss Code of Obligations requires ten years of audit-proof retention – including readability. Clarify what happens to your data after you cancel.
Export and exitBefore signing up, check what an export looks like (entries, documents, master data). A solution without a usable export is a one-way street.
