16 January 2026 — The new collaboration between Qsentinel AG and Birdday IT addresses the biggest practical challenge in Microsoft exits: migration. Birdday IT delivers a complete, lossless data transition, while Qsentinel provides a sovereign, post-quantum secured Nextcloud workspace for daily operations.
👉 Why this partnership
Demand for data sovereignty and legal control is growing explosively. More and more organizations want to reduce their dependence on Big Tech, but often face one critical challenge:
How do we migrate safely, completely, and without data loss from Microsoft environments?
👉 The strength of Birdday IT
Birdday IT brings over 16 years of deep Microsoft expertise, with specialized knowledge of SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive. This expertise is essential to extract data correctly, completely, and verifiably, including:
👉 permissions and sharing structures
👉 metadata and version history
👉 complex tenant and site structures
This experience has been built through large-scale enterprise and government projects, including work for:
👉 the German Armed Forces
👉 Aldi (Europe)
👉 the Belgian Federal Police
👉 Boehringer Ingelheim
With a strong focus on Microsoft → Nextcloud full-fidelity migrations, and using the SMART Migration platform (in collaboration with MigrateDMS), Birdday IT delivers, among other things:
👉 in-depth tenant analyses and BI reports
👉 phased or big-bang migrations without throttling
👉 document-level logging and audit trails
👉 automatic user provisioning and data transformation
👉 The strength of Qsentinel
As a Platinum Partner of Nextcloud, Qsentinel delivers the sovereign workspace for organizations that require full control over their data and jurisdiction.
The platform provides a complete digital workspace with:
👉 chat and team communication
👉 video conferencing
👉 document management and file sharing
👉 integrated team collaboration
Functionally comparable to suites such as Microsoft 365, but built on fundamentally different principles: maximum digital sovereignty, privacy, and compliance.
Qsentinel additionally provides:
👉 Swiss-based Nextcloud SaaS (or on-prem deployments)
👉 full data and jurisdictional control (no US-cloud exposure)
👉 post-quantum encryption and zero-trust architecture
👉 sovereign, powerful AI capabilities
designed for government, healthcare, industry, and other regulated sectors.
“By combining Birdday IT’s deep migration expertise with the sovereign QSentinel platform, we significantly lower the barrier for organizations to move away from legacy providers.
