VSE Secures B2B Guest Accounts in Microsoft 365 with EasyLife 365 Collaboration and ACE
Baar, Zug, Switzerland, 02 October 2025 — EasyLife 365, a provider of Microsoft 365 governance and lifecycle management solutions, partnered with ACE digital solutions AG to help Verband Schweizerischer Elektrizitätsunternehmen (VSE) bring order, automation, and security to its Microsoft 365 environment. With EasyLife 365 Collaboration, VSE achieved scalable guest account governance, lifecycle automation, and owner accountability while ensuring compliance and reducing IT burden.
VSE, the umbrella association for Switzerland’s electricity industry, represents companies responsible for over 90% of the country’s power supply. Collaboration with external experts is crucial for its commissions and working groups. However, as the number of guest accounts and Microsoft Teams grew, so did governance challenges. Manual management slowed productivity, created security risks, and increased complexity in maintaining consistent permissions.
To address these issues, VSE implemented EasyLife 365 Collaboration with ACE as the enabling partner. The solution integrated seamlessly with Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and Entra ID, introducing structured governance and automated processes to secure guest access and reduce manual IT work.
VSE teams now collaborate efficiently, scale confidently, and stay secure with:
- Automated lifecycle management of 771 Teams and more than 1,100 guest accounts
- Structured onboarding and ownership for external users
- Access reviews that continuously align permissions with governance rules
- Integrated compliance processes across all commissions and committees
“Thanks to EasyLife, we were able to make the administration of external users significantly more secure and efficient, a real added value for our Microsoft 365 environment,” said Markus Riner, Head of Digitalization & IT, VSE.
Through this collaboration, VSE reduced administrative overhead, eliminated inconsistencies, and established sustainable, secure, and owner-driven governance across Microsoft 365, empowering flexible and productive teamwork across the entire organization.
