Cloud transformation with MaibornWolff

Does this sound familiar to you? Updates take forever, new applications are difficult to integrate, and maintenance eats up unnecessary resources? Don't be one of the many companies struggling with outdated IT structures! With a well thought-out cloud transformation, you can make your IT more flexible and efficient - and lay the foundations for real digital growth and future success.

Efficient responsibility

Once we have developed the measures for transformation, we also take over operations. In doing so, we impart the necessary knowledge and assume responsibility.

Networked expertise

Comprehensive platform solutions are routine for us: development, operation and support are seamlessly integrated.

Holistic approach

Our strategies bring technology, people and organization together to create a cloud solution that really suits you.

Proven excellence

We rely on state-of-the-art technologies, automation and proven best practices from numerous projects. The result: optimum performance and continuous innovation.

What does cloud transformation mean?

Cloud transformation is not just about migrating an existing system to the cloud. It is a complete realignment of your IT. Processes are streamlined, applications are modernized and cloud-native technologies are used in such a way that they bring real added value. The result: scalable, secure and efficient IT that doesn't slow your company down, but moves it forward.

What is the difference between cloud transformation and cloud migration?

Cloud migration relocates existing IT systems to the cloud. Cloud transformation, on the other hand, is a comprehensive realignment of IT - with modernized applications and optimized processes. So while migration is mainly a technical move, transformation creates innovative, dynamic IT that ensures a faster time-to-market.

Cloud transformation services from MaibornWolff - your benefits

Cloud transformation helps you to increase your competitiveness and adapt quickly and flexibly to market requirements. Thanks to the transformation to the cloud, your IT becomes a modern service center for your company. With Cloud Transformation Services, you invest in your future and receive:

The most common stumbling blocks in cloud transformation

Many companies start in the cloud with great ambitions - and then face unexpected challenges and costs:

  • Unclear strategy & incomplete cloud architecture:

    Without a clear objective and the right choice between public, private or hybrid cloud, the transformation can become inefficient and expensive.

  • Technical complexity & data migration:

    Legacy systems and monolithic applications are often difficult to modernize. Careful data migration is essential to avoid losses or integration problems.

  • Security & compliance risks:

    Protecting sensitive data and complying with regulatory requirements requires a well thought-out security strategy and regular audits.

  • Cost control & operation:

    Without optimized resource usage and cost monitoring, cloud costs can quickly explode. Continuous optimization is also necessary after the transformation.

  • Lack of cloud expertise & resistance in the company:

    A lack of know-how and internal skepticism can jeopardize success. Training and change management help to drive the transformation forward.

  • Adaptation of company processes:

    Cloud technologies enable new ways of working, but without process customization, the full potential remains untapped.

Without a clear cloud strategy, the cloud can quickly become expensive, inefficient and even insecure. That's why we focus on an individual strategy that fits your company perfectly and makes your transformation a success!

Our solutions with cloud transformation

Cloud transformation services must fit your company, your processes and your goals. This is exactly where we come in and avoid common pitfalls for a successful transformation.

Our cloud transformation services - step by step

Cloud transformation is more than just a move to the cloud - it needs to be well thought out, carefully planned and properly implemented in order to be future-proof. With our experience, the right strategy and a clear roadmap, we ensure that your IT not only arrives in the cloud, but also develops its full potential there.

Step 1: Understanding

It all starts with an introductory meeting. We want to understand what you need, what individual challenges you are facing and what goals you are pursuing. This is not just about technology, but also about how cloud use can contribute to your business success. We want to understand exactly where you stand and what your business requirements are. Together, we develop the basis for our collaboration.

Step 2: Planning

We take a close look at your existing IT landscape: Which applications and data are suitable for the cloud? What dependencies exist? Based on this analysis, we define a clear strategy and roadmap - from selecting the right cloud model to prioritizing the next steps.

Step 3: Develop

We design a secure, scalable architecture to ensure that your cloud solution not only runs, but also performs in the long term. We take network topologies, security measures and high-availability solutions into account. We select the right solutions, ensure the right infrastructure and consider performance, security and compliance from the outset. We also continuously train your teams so that you have everything under control.

Step 4: Implementation

Before the large-scale migration begins, we test the planned solution with a proof of concept. A smaller application or a database is transferred to the cloud to validate performance, security and technical feasibility. After the successful test phase and the adaptation of your findings, the step-by-step migration and integration of your IT systems into the cloud follows. Only when everything fits is it time for full implementation.

Step 5: Optimize

Even after the migration, we won't leave you alone. We ensure that your cloud environment remains secure, performance-oriented and cost-effective. This includes continuous monitoring, security updates and performance optimization. On request, we can also take over ongoing operations.

Start your cloud transformation now!

Cloud transformation is the key to greater dynamism, scalability and innovation. We ensure that your transformation runs smoothly, fits perfectly with your business requirements and creates sustainable added value. Whether for initial planning or ongoing optimization, we are your partner for the cloud. Let's shape your cloud future together!
