Your safe journey to the cloud

Navigate the clouds with us

Moving to the cloud is the start of an exciting journey to new business heights - a journey that promises efficiency, agility and innovation. The powerful tailwind of cloud computing will lift your vision to new heights. With a well-thought-out cloud strategy, you can optimise your IT infrastructure to fit the bill - flexible, scalable and ready for the challenges that lie ahead.

Your guided journey into the cloud

A comprehensive IT strategy is your enabler, ensuring that every component of your digital architecture - from infrastructure to applications - is optimally prepared for your journey to success. Cloud technology not only makes your business more agile, it also promotes seamless integration of DevOps and SecOps practices, improved security architecture and accelerated progress. It supports rapid adaptation to market changes and promotes dynamic team collaboration through proactive change management, like a reliable compass in unfamiliar terrain.

But choosing the cloud is not just good business sense, it is also good environmental sense. Just as mountain climbers are aware of their responsibility to nature, the cloud enables businesses to reduce their carbon footprint by pooling IT resources in the cloud and using more efficient data centres. Green IT is an important guidepost for organisations to consider when developing their IT strategy. The cloud provides the ideal base camp for achieving these goals.

In short, the cloud offers businesses the opportunity to work more efficiently, innovate faster and respond more flexibly to changing market conditions, much like experienced mountain hikers mastering the challenges of nature. A well-thought-out cloud strategy is the navigation system that every forward-thinking company should use to successfully navigate the business world.

Cloud strategy

  • The company wants to use cloud services for strategic reasons.
  • The organisation 'must' move to the cloud because the current IT architecture no longer meets security and audit requirements.

The organisation is in the early stages of cloud transformation and wants to address most of the focus areas.

Cloud business assessment

  • The company is already in the cloud and has deployed e.g. Teams, Office 365 or similar and now wants to structure its cloud services, exploit synergies and align them strategically.
  • The company is starting to use cloud services and wants to create a hybrid cloud environment.

The organisation is already using cloud services and wants to strategically and sustainably align further transformation with the cloud.

Cloud basecamp

  • The organisation already has a cloud provider and uses a wide range of cloud services.
  • The organisation wants to use additional cloud services or providers (multi-cloud and provider control) and strategically re-orchestrate services accordingly.

The organisation has a cloud strategy and wants to take a pause to check that it is still on the right track.

Your guided ascent to the cloud

Whether you are just taking your first steps on the path to digitalisation or already enjoying the panoramic view from the top of the technological evolution, our consultants are like experienced mountain guides who will support you at every stage of your cloud journey. With a wide range of services and a deep understanding of the complex ecosystem of the cloud mountain landscape, we ensure that your ascent is tailored and safe until you reach the summit.

  • For digital pioneers standing at the foot of the mountain, ready to begin their cloud expedition, our ‘Cloud Business Assessment’ offers the perfect path for the ascent. We take a close look at the nature of your IT infrastructure and business processes to develop a tailored plan for your cloud transformation. Together, we'll set up base camp and prepare you for the ascent ahead. This is where you'll review your security ropes and audit compass to ensure that each stage of your journey is compliant.

  • Have you already completed the first stage successfully and now want to improve your view? Do you already have tools such as Teams or Office 365 at your disposal and now want to expand your cloud services and strategically realign them, like a hiker who decides to explore a more efficient and productive path? With our ‘Cloud Business Assessment’, we analyse the route and create a precise roadmap for your hike. In doing so, we ensure that you not only enjoy the view from the cloud, but also that your business operations remain secure and efficient.

  • Has your company already scaled a respectable height and reached a stable cloud position, but is now wondering which path to take? Our ‘Cloud Basecamp’ is like a basecamp on your journey, where we work with you to check and optimise your current cloud environment. We will help you to optimise your resources and performance, and get you ready for the next ascent or for switching to new paths, such as using multi-cloud solutions or strategically realigning your providers.

  • Is your company ready to define its own unique path through the cloud landscape? Our modular workshop offering allows you to select exactly the areas that are crucial for the further development of your cloud infrastructure. Similar to a mountaineer who puts together his route based on his abilities and goals, you can choose from a range of topics – from governance and organisation to sustainability.

Plan your next journey

While you may have successfully navigated your first major cloud journey, digital transformation is an ongoing expedition that requires regular re-engagement and exploration of new opportunities. The technology landscape is constantly evolving, with new or higher peaks to climb and innovative and more efficient routes to discover.

In this fast-changing environment, we invite you to join the trek on a regular basis. Whether you decide to retrace your steps to base camp or take advantage of the speed of a cable car depends on your current business objectives and the changing IT landscape.

Our aim is not just to guide you, but to empower you to meet future challenges independently. Through targeted training and knowledge transfer, we ensure that you are well equipped to manage your cloud strategy yourself, while we step in to provide support as needed.

By regularly reviewing your strategy and adjusting your path, we ensure that your business stays not only current, but ahead of the technology curve. Let's work together to ensure that your cloud journey continues to take you to new heights.

More information about the cloud

In the dynamic world of cloud technology, we act not only as experienced mountain guides, but also as adventurous explorers, climbing even the highest peaks. For our expeditions into the digital high mountains, we rely on a variety of partners, including well-known names such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform, as well as up-and-coming providers such as STACKIT, IONOS, OVH and our own adesso Business Cloud. With them by our side, we have the tools we need to climb even the steepest cliffs.

In order to provide you with a map of this complex terrain, we carry out regular explorations and publish our discoveries in the Cloud Technology Radar. Here we provide a comprehensive panoramic view of the terrain - from the deepest valleys to the highest peaks - and highlight all the relevant issues and trends in the cloud sector.

In a special section of our radar, we open our expedition diary and share our own experiences as cloud users. Our itineraries, the challenges we faced and the solutions we found may inspire you to make your own way through the digital wilderness.
