Cloud Migration in Hanover – reliable from Hamburg
Hannover is a trade fair city and insurance hub – B2B platforms and insurance IT require reliable cloud infrastructure.
We plan and implement cloud migrations with zero downtime. Lift-and-Shift, Re-Platforming, or Cloud-Native Refactoring – tailored to the specific starting conditions.
For clients in Hannover, this means: initial consultation within 48 hours, transparent effort estimation, regular on-site meetings as needed, and a dedicated engineering partner throughout the entire project duration. No hidden subcontracting, no junior consultant disguises.

Full service descriptionIn Numbers: A typical cloud migration for a medium-sized company with 10-30 servers takes 4-12 weeks, costs between 30,000 and 150,000 EUR, and saves between 20% and 40% of infrastructure costs after 12-18 months. The most common AWS region for companies from Hannover is eu-central-1 (Frankfurt) – GDPR-compliant and with the lowest latency for Northern Germany.

Frequently asked questions about Cloud Migration in Hannover
For a typical medium-sized company with 10-30 servers, we estimate a project duration of 4-12 weeks. Lift-and-Shift migrations can be completed in 4-6 weeks, while re-platforming or cloud-native refactoring typically take 8-12 weeks. Before each project, we conduct a 1-2 day assessment to provide a reliable time estimate.
For companies from Hannover and all of Northern Germany, we typically recommend eu-central-1 (Frankfurt) as the primary region. It is GDPR-compliant, has the lowest latency for DACH, and supports all relevant AWS services. For particularly sovereignty-sensitive workloads (authorities, healthcare), we consider eu-central-2 (Zurich) or the AWS European Sovereign Cloud (available from 2026).
The migration costs themselves typically range for mid-sized companies between EUR 30,000 and 150,000 – highly dependent on complexity, re-platforming proportion, and number of workloads. Ongoing cloud costs vary greatly; more important than the list price are FinOps measures (Reserved Instances, Right-Sizing, Auto-Scaling), which typically save 20-40% of cloud costs.
