We migrate your systems to the cloud or build new infrastructure from scratch — on German servers, GDPR-compliant, with full data sovereignty. None of the US cloud risk.
78 % of German companies consider themselves too dependent on US cloud providers. At the same time, over 90 % already use cloud services. That contradiction carries risk.
The reality in many companies: Microsoft 365 here, AWS there, Dropbox everywhere. Nobody knows exactly which data sits where — or who has access to it.
The risk: the US CLOUD Act allows American authorities to access data held by US providers — even when the servers are in Europe.
The good news: there is a way to get the benefits of the cloud without giving up control of your data.
More on this in our article: Cloud sovereignty — where does your data actually live?
Our promise: zero production downtime.
A typical setup: manufacturing MES on site, CRM and reporting in the cloud.
The core promise: your data stays in Germany.
| Aspect | German / EU cloud | US hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP) |
|---|---|---|
| Data sovereignty | Full control, governed by German law | The CLOUD Act permits access by US authorities |
| GDPR | Compliant by design | Compliant “on paper”, legally contested |
| Support | In German, reachable, same time zone | Usually English, via ticket systems |
| Pricing | Clear, transparent models | Complex structures, hard to forecast |
| Scalability | Well matched to what an SME needs | Extreme — often far more than required |
| Ecosystem | Focused, easy to survey | Vast and complex |
To be fair: the US hyperscalers are excellent platforms. But for mid-sized companies that care about data sovereignty, German and European providers are often the better fit.
Taking stock of every system, mapping dependencies and analysing what you currently spend.
Technical design, security architecture and a transparent budget.
Running in parallel — no risk to day-to-day operations.
A planned cutover, outside business hours, thoroughly tested beforehand.
Monitoring, performance tuning and cost control.
Typical total duration: 6–12 weeks.
| Service | Investment (one-off) | Running cost per month |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment & concept | €3,000 – 8,000 | — |
| Simple migration (1–3 systems) | €8,000 – 20,000 | €500 – 1,500 |
| Complex migration (5+ systems, hybrid) | €20,000 – 50,000 | €1,500 – 4,000 |
| Cloud security setup | €5,000 – 15,000 | €300 – 800 |
| Managed cloud (operations) | — | €800 – 3,000 |
The savings nobody counts: most companies underestimate what their current infrastructure costs — hardware refreshes, power, cooling, backup systems, staff time for maintenance. An honest comparison often shows the cloud is cheaper than expected.
Yes — usually safer than on most on-site servers. Professional data centres provide redundant systems, round-the-clock monitoring, automated backups and encryption at a level very few companies can match in-house.
We work with SLAs of 99.9 % availability. For business-critical systems we use geo-redundant architectures — if one data centre fails, a second takes over automatically.
No. A hybrid approach is often the smartest option. We recommend what actually fits — not what produces the biggest invoice.
Simple migrations with few systems and a clear structure: 4–6 weeks. Complex projects involving a hybrid setup and legacy systems: 3–6 months.
If your company operates in a sector covered by NIS-2 and has more than 50 employees or over €10 million in revenue: yes. We build the requirements straight into the cloud architecture.
Yes. We do not build dependencies on individual providers. Your data stays portable and your architecture stays flexible.
Whether you are only starting to think about the cloud or stuck in the middle of a migration that is going badly — we can help.
