Everything you need to know before starting a project with Alpine Edge.

Alpine Edge provides cloud infrastructure and cloud consulting, DevOps automation, private AI integration, IT compliance consulting, call center technology, custom software, and managed SaaS support.

A project begins with an assessment of your current systems, processes, and infrastructure. We then identify pain points, create a tailored plan, implement the agreed fixes, and support the environment after launch.

Yes. We support clients after implementation with documentation, monitoring, maintenance, and continued improvements based on the agreed engagement.

Alpine Edge serves clients across Europe and the Middle East and North Africa region from its Swiss-Albanian base.

Yes. We support private and self-hosted AI deployments, including sensitive-data handling, MCP servers, and AI-native software designed for environments where control and compliance matter.

Working with us

An assessment can usually begin within one to two weeks of the first conversation. Implementation start depends on scope and on how quickly access and approvals come together on your side. That is normally the limiting factor, not our availability.

We work alongside it. Most of our clients have capable people who are simply out of capacity or missing one specific skill. The handover step exists so your team can operate what we build rather than depending on us indefinitely.

Mostly organisations between roughly 20 and 500 people, large enough to have real infrastructure and compliance obligations, small enough that a dedicated internal platform team is not realistic. We also run smaller pieces of work for larger firms.

English, German, French, Italian, and Albanian. Documentation is normally delivered in English unless you need otherwise.

Technical & security

Primarily AWS and Azure, plus hybrid and on-premises environments using VMware, KVM, and Hyper-V. We are not tied to a single vendor, and part of the assessment is establishing which platform actually fits your workload and your cost profile.

You do. Work is delivered into your own cloud accounts and repositories, built with infrastructure as code so it is reproducible without us. There is no proprietary layer you would have to license to keep running what we built.

EU data residency by default, encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access control, and audit logging. For AI work the models run inside your environment, so personal data is never sent to a third-party API or used to train an external model. Our compliance practice covers GDPR audits and ISO 27001 implementation directly.

For clients on a support arrangement that includes it, yes. Monitoring and alerting are set up during implementation, so on-call responds to real signals rather than to a customer phoning in.

Commercial

Fixed price for defined-scope projects, or a monthly retainer for ongoing capacity and support. The assessment is a separate, smaller piece of work. That is deliberate: you can see how we operate before committing to anything larger.

Yes, and a reasonable number of clients do. You keep the findings and the roadmap regardless of whether you continue with us, including if you take them to another provider.

You keep the infrastructure, the code, the documentation, and the runbooks, because they live in your accounts throughout. Notice periods are agreed up front and we run a documented handover rather than simply stopping.
