Cloud consulting with foresight

We connect business objectives with technological capabilities — for a sustainable cloud migration.

  • Cloud strategy & assessment — Together, we develop a clear understanding of your goals, potential, and the optimal path to the cloud. As part of our Cloud Readiness Assessment workshop, we thoroughly evaluate the opportunities and feasibility of your initiative.
  • We identify the cloud platform that best fits your organisation and architectural requirements. As a launch partner of the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, we also bring specialised expertise in building secure, sovereign cloud environments aligned with European standards.
  • Roadmap & implementation — Step by step, we turn your cloud vision into reality, from the initial idea through to successful implementation.
  • Optimisation & operations — We make your cloud efficient, cost-transparent, and ready for the future

Moving to the cloud together

  • Tailored planning & guidance — Our cloud experts work closely with you to develop a migration strategy tailored to your needs and support you from initial analysis through to go-live.
  • Structured implementation with MAP — Using the Migration Acceleration Program (MAP), we ensure an efficient, low-risk, and goal-oriented migration of your systems and applications.
  • Modernisation & automation — We modernise your data and application landscapes, integrate DevOps practices, and lay the foundation for agile, scalable cloud solutions.

Stable, scalable, secure

  • Architecture with foresight — Together, we design cloud environments that enable growth and remain sustainable in the long term — technically sound, economically optimised, and future-ready.
  • Automation & DevOps — Using Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform, OpenTofu, AWS CDK) and CI/CD practices such as GitHub Actions, we create consistent, efficient, and reproducible infrastructures.
  • Security & operations — Through security by design, proactive monitoring, and multi-region architectures, we ensure maximum stability, compliance, and resilience.

Creating value from real-time & IoT

  • IoT data streams are connected directly from machines and sensors and seamlessly integrated into the analytics landscape — creating a continuous, end-to-end data foundation in the cloud.
  • Real-time streaming connectors integrate a wide variety of sources and form the basis for scalable sensor data processing.
  • Sensor data is processed within milliseconds, enabling events to be detected, assessed, and acted upon immediately.
  • Open interfaces and APIs ensure seamless integration with existing IT, production, and cloud systems.
  • Practical use cases such as predictive maintenance, condition monitoring, and smart factory scenarios demonstrate the tangible value of the solution.

 

Using data intelligently

  • Data platforms & integration — By connecting, structuring, and preparing your data, we create secure and scalable foundations for analytics, planning, and AI.
  • Cloud BI & analytics — We deliver transparency: with modern cloud analytics and reporting solutions, you gain meaningful insights and make data-driven decisions — anytime and across all areas of your organisation.
  • Data science & innovation — We help you turn data into real value through intelligent analytics, machine learning, and innovative cloud technologies that unlock new potential.

Together, we develop a cloud strategy that aligns your business requirements with the technical capabilities of the cloud. We identify opportunities, risks, and concrete recommendations for action — providing a solid foundation for migrations and your overall cloud transformation.

Methodology

We analyse your existing IT and process landscape, conduct facilitated workshops with all relevant stakeholders, and develop a strategic model based on proven frameworks. In doing so, we combine technical expertise with deep consulting experience.

Selecting the right cloud platforms

Woodmark is an official launch partner of the AWS European Sovereign Cloud and brings deep expertise in planning and delivering cloud projects based on Amazon Web Services. We also support numerous client projects on Microsoft Azure — from strategic planning through to the integration of existing systems.

Typical questions

  • What benefits do different cloud models offer, and how can we maintain a clear overview?
  • Which cloud platform best fits our requirements?
  • How do we ensure governance, compliance, and data sovereignty?
  • Are we compliant with GDPR when using the cloud?
  • What does a modern, cloud-native or hybrid IT architecture look like?
  • Can our existing system landscape be meaningfully integrated with the cloud?

  • On site at your location
  • Your benefits

    In a short time, you gain clarity on the opportunities, effort required, and potential of your journey to the cloud.

Objectives

You gain a clear understanding of the benefits and challenges involved in moving to the cloud. Our offering includes an individual feasibility assessment of your cloud readiness based on a specific business use case. In addition, we provide insights into modernisation and scaling options in the cloud, a detailed assessment evaluation, and tailored recommendations for action specific to your use case.

Target group

Team leads from the business units, e.g. finance, procurement, HR, production, and sales.

Content and methodology

  • Migration Readiness Assessment (MRA): 1.5-day workshop delivered by two Woodmark experts
  • Review of your analytics use case idea
