Cloud Providers: As a Cloud Agency, We Rely on These Technologies
Digital Sovereignty: Automony Over Dependence
With every new cloud solution, dependence on providers and data locations increases. Digital sovereignty means preserving your ability to act. You retain control over data, processes and exit scenarios, even when using international hyperscalers. This is exactly where cloud consulting comes in.

What is Cloud Consulting and how Does it Relate to IT Consulting?
Cloud consulting is a specialised form of IT consulting that focuses on the targeted use of cloud technologies for your business model. It is about how cloud can meaningfully support your IT strategy, organisation and processes.
IT consulting as strategic guidance
IT consulting considers your IT landscape as a whole:
- The role of IT in your business model
- Structures, roles & processes
- System landscape, budgets & risks
Cloud consulting, in turn, focuses on all issues in which cloud technologies play a central role.
Cloud at the core of modern IT strategies
In modern IT strategies, cloud is a core component:
- Scalability & speed
- Foundation for digital products & services
- Lever for efficiency & cost control
Cloud consulting ensures that this potential aligns with your reality.
Cloud & IT Consulting as an Integrated Approach
The added value arises when your IT strategy and your cloud decisions are considered and planned together.
Take key aspects such as IT architecture, governance, security, compliance and digital sovereignty into account right from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cloud Consulting and Cloud Services
Which challenges is cloud consulting actually useful for?
Cloud consulting is worthwhile if your cloud costs are rising, your landscape is becoming increasingly complex, security and compliance issues are increasing, or you are facing strategic decisions (e.g. cloud provider, multi-cloud, EU cloud). The aim is a clear strategy, a robust architecture and actionable next steps.
How do I optimise cloud costs and make them more predictable?
The first step is to create transparency around your existing cloud usage, identify cost drivers and unused resources, and develop governance and FinOps approaches that fit your business. This helps you reduce unnecessary spending, avoid uncontrolled IT solutions, and manage budgets more effectively.
Does dotSource also support the decision process between AWS, Azure, GCP and EU cloud providers?
Yes. As a vendor-independent cloud agency, we compare hyperscalers such as AWS, Azure and GCP as well as EU cloud providers with you. Together, we assess factors such as functionality, costs, compliance, digital sovereignty and exit scenarios, and on this basis develop a suitable cloud strategy for your company.
How do I get started with cloud consulting if we already have initial cloud solutions or a multicloud environment?
Many companies already use individual cloud services or even multiple cloud providers, but without a clear overarching strategy. That is exactly where we come in: with a cloud strategy or architecture review, focused on topics such as security, performance or costs where needed. From this, we work together to define a realistic roadmap for the next steps.
When do you need a security audit?
A security audit is advisable if your cloud landscape has grown, new applications or interfaces have been added, or you need a reliable security assessment before making decisions on architecture, migration or operations. This makes it possible to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and priority areas for action at an early stage and factor them into subsequent decisions.
