DQ Solutions strengthens its Unified Endpoint Management team
With over 200,000 managed devices, DQ Solutions continues to expand its position as a specialist in central device management of mixed IT fleets.
Wallisellen, October 21, 2025 – DQ Solutions enhances its expertise in Unified Endpoint Management (UEM): With Matthias Lauper and his team, the Mac specialists bring experienced UEM professionals into the company. The highly qualified specialists for the central control of mixed IT fleets strengthen with this step the implementation power and reach of DQ Solutions beyond national borders. With twelve experts and over 200,000 managed devices, DQ Solutions takes a leading role in the central device management of heterogeneous IT environments.
Experienced partner for multi-platform projects
"The demand for mixed IT fleets is increasing. With Matthias Lauper and his team, we were able to recruit some of the few recognized top professionals in the market for our growing clientele," says Dave Gleixner, a member of the executive board at DQ Solutions, adding: "With our experience in designing, consulting, and supporting multi-platform projects, we can individually address the needs of our customers. We understand Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions like JAMF, FileWave, Microsoft Intune, Workspace ONE, know all relevant products, and make situational decisions on which is best for each company. This experience creates trust and credibility with our customers."
In addition, the work for international Fortune 500 companies with several thousand devices demonstrates competence in large, complex IT fleets: "What excites me about DQ Solutions is the focus on the outstanding employee experience. Compliance, security, EU regulations are topics that we can serve with a lot of experience. With our enterprise, school, and SME experience, new synergies arise, with which we can map virtually any use case in any size," explains Matthias Lauper.
Services and hardware from a single source
DQ Solutions serves medium-sized businesses from various industries, educational institutions, and corporations, all of which have their devices and infrastructures managed. "Companies and schools benefit from a clean strategy because all devices can be planned, evaluated in the long term, and sustainably adjusted. We build our clients' IT landscapes in a goal-oriented, employee-friendly, and future-proof manner," explains Dave Gleixner. "When employees have a choice, they predominantly opt for Mac*. Integrating these into companies and schools is our strength. We make it possible for even banks to pass all security and compliance audits," confirms Matthias Lauper.
For customers who manage their devices themselves, DQ Solutions offers 2nd and 3rd level support. Conclusion from Dave Gleixner: «There is no more professional and powerful team for companies that offer Apple devices to their employees. With our Workplace as a Service strategy, Apple fleets become even more affordable. Good reasons to prioritize the employee experience.»

DQ Solutions at Bahnhofplatz 1 in Zurich is the world's first Apple Partner with a new premium shopping experience concept
- On August 19 and 20, DQ Solutions celebrates the grand opening of the store at Bahnhofplatz 1 in Zurich after a short renovation period, with the new top status of Apple Premium Partner. A premiere: DQ Solutions is the first Apple partner worldwide with a new premium shopping experience concept.
Zurich, August 19, 2022
What happened behind the wrapped shop windows of the DQ Solutions store at Bahnhofplatz 1? Due to renovation work, the branch had been on standby mode since July 30, 2022. On August 19, 2022, the time has come: DQ Solutions celebrates the opening of the Zurich store and the newly acquired top status as an Apple Premium Partner with attractive prices and an opening competition.
The spacious shop invites you to linger, state-of-the-art screens present new products, the latest devices are waiting to be tested. Bright and transparent, the freshly renovated store provides the perfect stage for products and accessories.
The Apple certified technicians from DQ Solutions are pleased to advise customers with their expertise. By scanning a QR code, Apple fans can enter the virtual queue and then comfortably browse the store until they are notified that it is their turn.
Not only is the location of the store—opposite the main train station—perfect, but the building itself also has a story to tell. At the end of August 2018, all of Zurich watched in shock as the fire at Bahnhofplatz 1 unfolded. During renovation work on the listed building from the late 19th century, a fire broke out. The fire and the extinguishing water largely destroyed the building. Fortunately, the DQ Solutions branch was not affected—during the renovation, it had moved to the second floor at Bahnhofplatz 2. "We were lucky in our misfortune," Kurt Weber, a member of the management of DQ Solutions, was quoted in the Tages-Anzeiger on 27.08.2018. "We wanted to open a beautiful new store after the renovation in autumn 2019. That is unlikely to be an option for the time being."
Since April 1, 2021, DQ Solutions has moved back from the temporary location to the original address and, after a short renovation period, can offer another surprise: the reopening as the world's first Apple partner with a new premium shopping experience concept.
As the only Apple Premium Partner in Switzerland, DQ Solutions offers a wide range of Apple products, accessories, and certified services to private customers in 13 branches and its own online store. Business customers trust DQ Solutions as their preferred partner in the evaluation, integration, and operation of their future-proof ICT environment.

DQ Solutions launches the secure iPad for children
– Parents are all too familiar with the drama 'The Child and the Smart Device'. Hardly any topic on child rearing is as much discussed and at the same time overwhelms many parents, as well as teachers and childcare workers. DQ Solutions writes a happy ending to this drama with iPad4Kids. Dietikon, August 16, 2022
DQ Solutions now enables children from the age of 4 to safely enter the digital world with an iPad optimized for them. In line with the Lehrplan 21 curriculum, the devices are set up to display only age-appropriate apps and content, including the apps needed for kindergarten and school. Nadine Christinger, Learning Trainer at DQ Solutions and trained educator, says: «With iPad4Kids, we have created a digital oasis for children where they can safely explore numerous apps and realize their own creative projects, make films, record their own radio plays, make music, or draw.» With iPad4Kids, DQ Solutions also focuses on the parents, says the educator: «Parents are given the opportunity to easily adjust the usage times for their child's iPad. Additionally, we invite parents to participate in webinars free of charge and receive helpful tips on supporting their child's use of the iPad.» As the child grows older, the iPad grows with them. With each new school cycle of the Lehrplan 21, the configuration adapts and thus provides an efficient response to the BYOD (Bring-Your-Own-Device) requirement of many schools.
Just in time for the start of school. For 31 francs per month, parents receive a worry-free package including technical support and webinars, and the child receives a new iPad with a protective case and apps valued at approximately CHF 170. launches DQ Solutions on August 16, 2022, the iPad4Kids service
