Cloud Migration & Digital Sovereignty

Looking to break free from dependencies on American cloud giants such as Microsoft, Google, or AWS? I plan and execute the safe, zero-downtime migration of your data, emails, and applications to European alternatives or dedicated servers.

Transparent Billing

Projects are billed on an hourly basis or under an agreed fixed-price project scope.

Why Moving Away Makes Sense

Relying on US cloud ecosystems poses growing legal, operational, and financial risks for businesses:

GDPR Compliance

European regulators strictly scrutinize US data transfers. Hosting in Germany/Europe protects your business from compliance fines.

Cost Control

Licensing costs for Microsoft and AWS keep climbing. Open-source infrastructures provide predictable, stable operational expenses.

True Independence

Eliminate vendor lock-in. Retaining full sovereignty over your data protects your organization from geopolitical and platform risks.

The 5-Phase Migration Roadmap

Migrating IT infrastructure requires a structured, proven methodology that prevents operational downtime:

  1. 1 Current State Analysis & Audit: We identify all active tools, user identities, licenses, and data dependencies. Where does data reside, and who uses which features?
  2. 2 Target Architecture Design: We select the best-fit sovereign alternatives (e.g., Nextcloud and dedicated mail clusters on European servers, or services like mailbox.org and Proton).
  3. 3 Setup & Staging Test Run: The new environment is configured in the background and synced with test data. We verify all permissions, mail delivery, and calendar shares.
  4. 4 Live Migration (Weekend Switch): Final data sync and DNS cutover take place outside business hours. On Monday morning, your team continues working smoothly in the new system.
  5. 5 Post-Launch Onboarding & Support: I assist your employees with any questions and hand over comprehensive administrative documentation.
