Cloud migration assessment

Companies considering a cloud migration that need a well-founded, independent basis for the decision.

Updated: 2026-09

In short

A cloud migration assessment provides the basis for deciding on the move to the cloud: an honest evaluation of benefit, risk, cost and data protection — with a clear recommendation and a realistic migration path. The result is an informed decision rather than a leap into the unknown.

The cloud promises flexibility and scalability — but also carries cost, data protection and dependency risks that get lost in marketing claims. A migration without a well-founded evaluation often leads to surprises in cost or compliance, particularly in the DACH region with its data protection requirements.

An assessment creates clarity before the decision: what the cloud concretely delivers, what it costs, which risks exist, and what a realistic migration path looks like.

FAQ

Do you always recommend the cloud?

No — we recommend what makes sense for your case. Sometimes a partial move, or staying put, is the better decision.

What about data protection?

Data location and GDPR/revDSG compliance are a central part of the assessment — decisive particularly in the DACH region.

Do you also support the migration?

On request — the assessment provides the basis for the decision; we can take on or support the implementation.
