Cloud migration consulting: strategy instead of hype

Customized cloud architecture: Avoid over-engineering. Does each of your applications really need the full complexity and cost structure of an enterprise solution? For us, cloud migration is not a trend question, but an investment decision. We objectively examine where cloud-native approaches bring measurable added value for your business model and where on-premise or hybrid solutions are economically superior.

The path to the cloud often fails not because of the technology, but due to a lack of transparency in the existing IT landscape. We create clarity, mediate between management goals and technical feasibility and design an architecture that strengthens your business in the long term.

Less technology. Better business.

Why MaibornWolff? Because we don't just relocate, we empower

Substance instead of hype

We only recommend cloud technologies where they offer technical or economic advantages. If your own server cellar is more efficient for specific workloads, we recommend it transparently.

Efficiency through standardization

Thanks to proven process models (e.g. our open source-based risk analysis) and a high degree of automation, we deliver reliable results in weeks rather than months.

Neutral advice

We are certified partners of AWS, Azure and STACKIT, but also technically implement Google Cloud or IONOS. We recommend the technology that solves your problem, regardless of vendor interests.

Helping people to help themselves

We don't just give you the keys to the new cloud and wish you "good luck". We train your team until you are able to manage operations independently. Our goal is to make us superfluous.

Trend check: AI needs a modern home

Do you want to use AI services? Very well. But AI needs clean data and a modern architecture. If you use AI on an outdated infrastructure, you will usually end up with chaos instead of innovation. During the migration process, we ensure that your data ends up in the cloud in such a structured way that AI models can actually work with it.

For whom is Cloud Migration Consulting the right lever?

Our consulting approach is aimed at companies that want to take a strategic and value-oriented approach to cloud transformation. We close the gap between IT strategy and operations.

We consistently close the often gaping gap between strategy paper and IT operations: from objective advice on your cloud capability to setting up the necessary governance and planning stable continued operation. And very importantly: if your own server is more economical for you, we will let you know immediately.

We are the ideal partner for:

CIOs & CTOs

Do you need to combine strategic goals and technical realities? We provide the architecture and the arguments that convince both sides.

Regulated sectors (finance, public, health)

Do you need innovation, but NIS-2 or DORA demand strict compliance? Our answer is superior cloud solutions that combine security and performance.

Companies with an established IT landscape

Do you have complex legacy systems and dependencies? We create transparency in the application landscape and identify the core elements that can be modernized.

Start your project with certainty

Our readiness check provides a reliable basis for decision-making and a clear roadmap in just a few weeks. We identify the right workloads and support you seamlessly from planning to implementation.

Typical hurdles during migration and our solutions

The path to the cloud is complex. If there is no structure, projects quickly become cost-intensive, confusing or get bogged down in internal coordination. We address these challenges in a targeted manner:

Non-transparent application landscape & missing owner

It is often unclear what responsibilities exist for legacy applications.

Solution: In the readiness check, we analyze your history based on data and clarify the cloud suitability (migration path) of each workload.

Area of tension: strategic desire vs. technological reality
Take-off without foundation (missing landing zone)
Compliance pressure & digital sovereignty
Inefficiency due to pure lift & shift

Step by step into the cloud, with a firm foundation

Many cloud projects come to a standstill because the foundation is missing. Our approach ensures that we don't move problems to the cloud, but create solutions. We thoroughly analyze in advance which legacy issues need to be cleaned up before we set up a secure landing zone.

We place particular emphasis on training your team during the migration so that you can safely master the subsequent operation. This process gives us the necessary speed. However, we adapt the design to your individual requirements.

Cloud migration consulting: from strategy to operation

We provide you with holistic support, from analysis and planning to proof of concept, actual migration and ongoing operation. With experience from numerous projects, we manage the balancing act between strategy and implementation of cloud migrations: with the clear goal of empowering your team and making ourselves superfluous in the long term.

Our experts provide vendor-neutral advice on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and STACKIT, focusing on a cloud architecture that works, grows and pays off.

Frequently asked questions about cloud migration consulting

  • Is cloud migration at MaibornWolff customizable?

    Every project follows a clear, tried-and-tested process - but no two migrations are the same. MaibornWolff develops tailor-made solutions instead of standard packages. Architecture, governance and security measures are adapted to the existing IT landscape and the company's strategic goals.

  • Why is neutral cloud consulting so important?

    MaibornWolff works with AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Stackit, but provides advice that is strictly vendor-independent. The focus is always on the business benefit - not which provider is at the forefront. The cloud strategy is therefore based on cost-effectiveness and feasibility, not on partner contracts.

  • What sets MaibornWolff apart from other cloud service providers?

    Many providers rely on standard solutions. MaibornWolff designs each migration individually, contributes in-depth technical knowledge - partly by co-developing cloud services - and attaches great importance to knowledge transfer. The aim is for you to be able to operate your cloud independently later on.

  • How does MaibornWolff deal with regulatory requirements?

    MaibornWolff integrates compliance requirements directly into the architecture planning. By using sovereign cloud providers (e.g. STACKIT) in a multi-cloud strategy, we also meet strict data residency requirements without sacrificing the scalability of hyperscalers for non-critical data.

Why MaibornWolff?

As one of the most innovative IT service providers with a great passion for AI, we focus entirely on the project business and individual software development - without our own products. To stay at the forefront, we continuously invest in our team of digital technology engineers and develop digital solutions that are well thought-out, efficient and reduced to the essentials.

Our principle: simplicity instead of complexity. We only develop what is really needed - tailor-made, useful and reliable. Our results speak for themselves. With over 800 large-scale systems and more than 10,000 person-years of experience in high-end software engineering, we are one of the few who can reliably implement even the largest and most complex IT landscapes. Thanks to close partnerships with leading hyperscalers, our customers operate their solutions in today's most modern and powerful environments.

Less technology. Better Business.
