20 years of SharePoint.
One mission: governance that works.

We've seen governance fail across dozens of organizations. We built Kompass so it doesn't have to.

Zalo Solutions is a Swedish technology company specializing in Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and governance-critical digital workplaces. We help organizations design, build, and govern environments that are structured, scalable, and sustainable over time.

Our work spans intranets, custom Microsoft 365 development, integrations, AI and Copilot services, and governance initiatives — with a clear focus on organizations where structure, ownership, and compliance matter.

Built on long-term experience

Zalo Solutions is built on over 20 years of hands-on experience with SharePoint and Microsoft technologies. Our team has worked closely with organizations across the public sector and other regulated environments, where governance is not optional and solutions must hold up over time.

This experience shapes how we work:

Practical, not theoretical

Structured, not ad-hoc

Designed for long-term use, not short-term delivery

Quality, clarity, and maintainability are central to everything we deliver.

From consulting to product

Over the years, we repeatedly saw the same challenges across organizations:

  • Governance defined in documents, but not enforced in systems
  • SharePoint structures that slowly break down
  • Internal management systems that become difficult to maintain
  • Heavy manual work to keep documents, permissions, and ownership aligned

Kompass was created as a response to these challenges.

It represents a productized approach to governance in Microsoft 365 — built from real projects, real failures, and real operational needs. Kompass allows organizations to move from custom one-off solutions to a structured, repeatable governance model.

How we work

Good solutions are the result of both technical excellence and deep understanding of how organizations operate.

Structure by design

Clear architecture and deliberate design decisions — not ad-hoc fixes that create technical debt.

True collaboration

Working closely with IT, quality, and business stakeholders to build shared understanding and lasting solutions.

Respect existing investments

Solutions that build on your existing Microsoft 365 environment rather than replacing it.

Governance in practice

Governance that works in daily operations, not just on paper or in policy documents.

Whether the engagement starts with an intranet, a system, or governance itself — the goal is always the same: structure that lasts.
