IT provider with base in Graben BE

Herzogenbuchsee is an active economic hub in the Oberaargau region. Trades, fiduciaries, handwork, service providers – many companies need IT that simply works.

Lightnet supports local businesses with a broad IT scope: workstations, Microsoft 365, Windows Server, networking, backup, and process automation. The base in Graben means short response times, fast on-site appointments, and a realistic view of what makes sense in an SME environment.

Companies in Herzogenbuchsee benefit from the fact that Lightnet is not an anonymous IT hotline. Requests go directly to technical support. That cuts response times significantly – especially when a workstation or server is no longer reachable.

The engagement works as ongoing management with fixed structures, or on a project basis for concrete changes: replacing an old server, migrating to Microsoft 365, cleaning up user accounts and permissions, or building a proper backup concept.

Cooperation

Why a regional IT partner makes sense

Large national providers have structured processes – but also long communication paths and high abstraction. A regional partner works differently.

When a technician knows the company, when the environment is documented, and when questions reach the responsible person directly, decisions happen faster and cleaner. That is exactly the advantage Lightnet brings to SMEs in Herzogenbuchsee.

Management covers not only technical execution but also the judgement of what is actually needed. Not every SME needs a data centre – but a working backup, encrypted laptops, a well-configured Microsoft 365 tenant, and a documented server landscape always pay off.

  • Short response times thanks to the Graben BE location
  • An SME perspective, not an enterprise one
  • Ongoing management or project-based – as needed
Taking over existing environments

From initial assessment to ongoing management

Many companies have grown IT landscapes over the years where no one fully knows how it all fits together.

In such cases, the engagement starts with a structured assessment: which servers are running, which user accounts exist, how permissions are set, how backups are done, what is configured how in Microsoft 365. The result is a document that captures the current state.

Then comes prioritisation: what is an active risk (missing patches, weak permissions, unreliable backup), what is convenience, and what can wait. This order is communicated transparently so it is always clear what is being worked on and why.

  • Assessment with documentation of the current environment
  • Prioritisation by risk rather than by daily news
  • Step-by-step takeover without operational disruption

Yes. The base is in Graben BE, directly bordering Herzogenbuchsee. On-site visits are possible at short notice. Most everyday issues are handled via remote support.

Does Lightnet manage Microsoft 365 and servers together?
