A cloud strategy that fits your business
Not every application belongs in the cloud, and not every cloud suits every company. Together we develop a target picture, assess your systems and present a roadmap that keeps costs, security and your people in view.
Typical starting points
- Individual departments use cloud services, but there is no common approach.
- Management wants clarity on costs, risks and benefits before investing.
- Hardware or licences are expiring and the decision “renew or switch” is due.
- Internal know-how to compare providers and offers fairly is missing.
What we work out together
Inventory
Which systems, data and dependencies exist – and which data protection and data residency requirements apply?
Target picture
Public, private or hybrid: which architecture fits your goals, budget and regulation?
Assessment per system
A recommendation for every application: ready for the cloud, modernise first, or deliberately keep in-house.
Roadmap
Measures in a sensible order, with effort, costs and quick first results.
Our approach
We start with a workshop – on site in Cologne or online – and deliver a roadmap you could also implement with another provider.
Workshop with management and IT: goals, constraints, priorities
Inventory of systems and contracts
Target picture and assessment per application
Roadmap with cost estimate and pointers to vendor funding programmes
Results
- A target picture that management and IT both stand behind
- A decision per system instead of a one-size-fits-all solution
- Transparent cost estimate including running costs
- Pointers to free vendor assessments and funding programmes you can use

Frequently asked questions
Your question is not listed? Ask it in the free initial consultation – the form is at the end of this page.
Do we even need a cloud strategy?
As soon as more than a few individual services are in use: yes. Without shared guardrails, costs, security gaps and dependencies grow faster than the benefit.
Are you tied to one provider?
No. We recommend what suits you – Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, a European provider or staying in-house.
Is funding available?
Under certain conditions the large providers fund assessments and parts of migrations. We show you which programmes apply and how to apply for them.
