At MTF, digital sovereignty means you decide which technologies to use, where your data is stored and what your IT strategy looks like. Whether open source or proprietary, on-premise, private cloud or multi-cloud – we give you the freedom and expertise to make confident decisions. As an ICT provider with Swiss roots, we are committed to transparency, security and independence.
Digital sovereignty our guiding principle
Our principles
- Freedom of choice in technologies and operating models
- Full control over data, systems and processes
- Avoidance of vendor lock-in through open standards
- Data storage and security in accordance with Swiss law
Technological independence begins with freedom of choice
At MTF, your freedom of choice is our priority. Our Private Business Cloud relies on proven open source technologies as a stable foundation – yet still gives you the freedom to use proprietary applications where they create real added value. The same applies to your infrastructure: whether private cloud, multi-cloud or on-premise – you decide what suits your business best. This freedom of choice is the key to long-term independence and flexibility.
Your business data belongs to you – not to technology providers
Only those who retain full control over their data can achieve digital sovereignty. That is why we offer you the option of operating your systems and information exclusively in Swiss data centres – protected by strict data protection laws and transparent security concepts. This means that your data remains under your control at all times and is not accessible to global providers.
Open source as the foundation of true independence
Open source is more than just a technology – it is a principle of transparency and self-determination. By viewing the source code and flexibly adapting systems, you avoid dependencies on individual manufacturers. At MTF Business Cloud, we consistently rely on open source to give you full control over your digital infrastructure. At the same time, we give you the freedom to use proprietary solutions where they make sense – you always have the choice.

Private cloud or public cloud – your infrastructure, your choice
The decision between private and public cloud is not technical, but strategic: it is about control, compliance and independence. Both models have their merits – private cloud for maximum data sovereignty, public cloud for global scalability. The decisive factor is what suits your requirements. MTF supports you with an independent perspective and combines both models in a multi-cloud architecture that fits your security, compliance and performance requirements.
MTF Private Cloud
The MTF Business Cloud offers you maximum security and complete freedom of choice. Based on proven open source technologies, you retain data sovereignty, benefit from flexible operating models and meet the strictest compliance requirements – all under Swiss law. Your data remains in Swiss data centres and you retain full control over updates and configurations.

Sovereign Office or Microsoft 365 – self-determined or global
The choice of office solution fundamentally shapes your digital way of working: it's about data control, independence and the balance between functionality and sovereignty.
