Dina Positions Itself as a Swiss Partner for SAP, Cloud, and Security Work

Dina, the Swiss IT provider formed from the merger of CISEL and neo technologies, has built its practice around cloud, SAP, and security work, with consulting running through each as a connecting thread. The company reports more than 200 experts, over 170 clients served, and four offices across Switzerland. Dina describes its service lines as tailored IT solutions meant to address clients’ current and future technology challenges, positioning the Swiss firm as a single point of contact for SAP-related cloud and security work.

Dina says its approach rests on a comprehensive service range delivered through a personalized model, with engineers and consultants carrying out both the technical and organizational sides of a project. Cloud technology is presented as the lever for digital transformation and cost optimization, while SAP’s integrated solutions are described as the foundation for building future-ready IT services. Security work rounds out the model, with the company’s specialists positioned to manage IT risk and protect client information systems. Dina markets the four areas as interconnected, an arrangement meant to let an SAP-focused engagement draw on cloud or security resources from the same firm without a separate procurement process.

Where the Services Go Deeper

Dina’s consulting practice centers on three areas: bespoke application and architecture design, infrastructure analysis aimed at resilience and performance, and IT governance tied to regulatory compliance. The practice also includes a turnkey Smart Metering solution built on a platform shared across multiple Swiss electricity distributors, a niche offering that echoes the same governance and compliance orientation as the rest of the practice.

On the cloud side, Dina defines and operates cloud strategy for clients and builds out Cloud Native and DevOps capability. The firm also offers a low-code, no-code CRM platform with generative AI features, plus support for the SAP Cloud portfolio, including S/4HANA implementation and migration work.

That cloud-side S/4HANA work carries into a dedicated SAP practice, which supports migration for both existing SAP customers and organizations deploying a new ERP for the first time. Dina advises on the Greenfield versus Brownfield approach to structuring an S/4HANA project and points to SAP’s own Grow Public Edition and Rise Private Edition packages as routes into SaaS-mode SAP with defined cost control. The practice also covers optimization and development work on SAP applications already in production.

Those choices sit inside a broader pattern familiar to SAP customers. RISE with SAP and GROW with SAP are SAP’s own commercial cloud ERP offerings, and partners across the ecosystem help clients adopt and configure them. The Greenfield versus Brownfield decision is a standard fork in most S/4HANA migrations, often structured using SAP Activate as a general project methodology rather than anything specific to a single partner. Organizations working through that decision increasingly weigh the clean core principle, an industry consideration about how much customization to carry into a cloud ERP environment, against the shrinking window before SAP ECC mainstream maintenance ends.

Dina’s security work includes managed services meant to let client teams focus on core business rather than day-to-day risk management. It also covers business continuity strategy and data governance addressing confidentiality, integrity, and availability under current regulation. Awareness training and network connectivity managed by certified engineers round out the offering, and the company frames the practice explicitly around small and midsize enterprises, a narrower target than the broader business language used elsewhere in its materials.

What This Means for SAPinsiders

• One vendor spans SAP, cloud, and security. SAP teams evaluating Dina will need to weigh the convenience of bundled delivery against the option of pairing specialists for each domain, particularly on large S/4HANA projects.
• Migration advisory now includes packaging decisions. Teams planning a move to S/4HANA should expect Dina’s Greenfield versus Brownfield guidance to intersect with SAP’s own Rise and Grow packaging, requiring internal governance to evaluate those recommendations independently.
• Security services target smaller SAP shops specifically. Organizations running SAP with lean internal IT teams may find Dina’s SME-oriented managed security offering relevant for offloading routine risk management without adding headcount.
