FAQ
Cloud consulting lays the foundation for robust decisions on strategy, architecture, security and governance. These FAQs address the key questions companies face when planning, evaluating and implementing sustainable cloud initiatives.
What is cloud consulting?
Cloud consulting covers strategic and technical advice on the planning, introduction and optimisation of cloud solutions. The aim is to define the right cloud architectures, operating models and security requirements for each company.
When is cloud consulting worthwhile for existing IT systems?
Cloud consulting is worthwhile for existing IT systems when companies want to modernise their infrastructure, move applications to the cloud or clarify architecture and operational questions. This makes it possible to identify risks early and take well-founded decisions on the next stage of development.
How does cloud consulting help with a cloud strategy?
Cloud consulting helps align a cloud strategy with business goals, existing systems and technical and compliance requirements. Benefits, architecture, security aspects and suitable cloud services are all assessed so that cloud projects can be planned realistically and implemented sustainably.
What benefits does cloud architecture consulting bring?
Cloud architecture consulting helps build systems that are scalable, secure and cost-effective. As part of cloud consulting, existing architectures are reviewed and technical risks reduced. This also produces suitable operating and security concepts, tailored to public cloud platforms, private clouds or sovereign cloud solutions.
How can compliance requirements be safeguarded in the cloud?
Compliance requirements can be safeguarded in the cloud through clear security and operating concepts, technical protective measures and early review of regulatory requirements. Cloud consulting helps integrate data protection and compliance requirements systematically into architecture and operations.

Glossary
Successful cloud initiatives depend on the interplay of architectural principles, security requirements and organisational conditions. This glossary defines the relevant terms and shows their role in sound cloud strategies and robust target architectures.
Cloud strategy
A cloud strategy sets out the objectives, applications, operating models and framework conditions that apply to the use of the cloud. It links technical decisions with business requirements.
Cloud architecture
Cloud architecture describes the structure of a cloud solution, including services, data flows, security mechanisms and operating processes. It influences scalability, cost, maintainability and compliance.
Well-Architected Frameworks
Well-Architected Frameworks are structured assessment frameworks provided by cloud vendors such as AWS, Azure or GCP. They are used to review cloud architectures against criteria such as security, reliability, efficiency and cost.
Architecture reviews
Architecture reviews are systematic assessments of existing or planned IT architectures. They reveal technical risks, potential for optimisation and deviations from established architectural principles.
FADP and GDPR compliance
FADP and GDPR compliance means that applications and data processing meet the requirements of both the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In cloud projects, this particularly concerns storage locations, access controls, traceability, data processing agreements and contractual arrangements with cloud providers.
DevOps
DevOps brings software development and operations closer together, both organisationally and technically. The aim is to deploy changes to production systems faster, more reliably and with greater automation, and to feed operational experience back into development.
