Cloud vs. on-premises

We compare cloud, self-hosted and hybrid models without ideology. Applications, privacy, availability, skills, cost, dependencies and the way your team actually works all form part of the assessment.

For organisations preparing a modernisation, cloud decision, migration, takeover or substantial investment in their IT landscape.

What it is about

Cloud vs. on-premises: fitted properly into your IT.

Cloud versus self-hosted is not a matter of belief. Applications differ in privacy, performance, availability, integration, cost and required skills, so different systems within one organisation may need different answers.

We compare cloud, on-premises and hybrid scenarios using transparent criteria across the full life cycle. Recommendations include prerequisites, dependencies, residual risk and a possible migration route as well as advantages.

What does the service include?

Here’s what you can expect from us.

We adapt delivery to your systems, requirements and responsibilities. These three building blocks are typically included.

Assess applications and needs

We compare cloud, self-hosted and hybrid models against your actual applications and data.

Compare operating models fairly

Cost, availability, privacy, skills, scale and vendor dependency are considered together.

Document recommendation and route

The recommendation includes prerequisites, limits and next steps, not just a product opinion.

What you gain

Less friction. More visibility.

Objective comparison without dogma
Understand total cost more clearly
Expose risks and dependencies
The right operating model per application

How it helps you as a customer

The value shows up in everyday work.

Technology alone is not the point. What matters is how it makes work simpler, safer or more predictable for your team.

Decide without a vendor lens

Options are evaluated against your goals and systems rather than a blanket technology preference.

Understand total cost

Investment, operations, licences, internal skills and migration effort enter the same comparison.

Know dependencies in advance

Data location, connectivity, vendor lock-in and exit options are made part of the decision.

Quick answers

Questions about Cloud vs. on-premises

Can you integrate Cloud vs. on-premises into our existing environment?

Usually, yes. We first review the systems, responsibilities and dependencies already in place, then suggest a route that keeps anything useful and avoids unnecessary replacement.

Do we need to know the exact scope already?

No. A short description of your situation is enough to begin. Together we separate the immediate need, worthwhile improvements and topics for later.
