Move to the cloud without moving everything at once

Groundfog plans, builds, and runs your cloud transformation end-to-end

From a clear business case to secure operations

The cloud is no longer where you save on servers. It's where modern customer experiences, personalization, and AI actually become possible. We help you get there with a plan that fits your business — migrating what makes sense, re-architecting what pays off, and leaving the rest behind.

TALK TO CLOUD TEAM

40%

lower IT operating costs — shifting from costly owned hardware to pay-for-what-you-use cloud, with no heavy upfront investment.

50%

faster time-to-market — resources are ready in minutes, not weeks, so your teams launch and iterate in half the time.

99.99%

redundant infrastructure and automated backups cut unplanned downtime by up to 70%.

The migration of our DAM platform to AEM as a Cloud Service was a highly complex project. Throughout the eight-month implementation, Groundfog once again proved to be a reliable and trusted partner.

As Technical Lead, Thomas played a key role throughout the project. His extensive knowledge, pragmatic approach, and professionalism were essential from start to finish. Combined with the dedication and expertise of the entire Groundfog team, his leadership enabled a well-executed transformation, ensuring a seamless migration to DAM Cloud. A special thank you to Thomas and the entire Groundfog team.

Siemens DAM goes Cloud: Modernizing a Platform at Enterprise Scale

Moving a business-critical platform to the cloud is one thing. Doing it without interrupting 16,000 users and 15 connected systems is another entirely. After years of operating the Siemens DAM, Groundfog faced exactly that challenge: transform an enterprise-scale platform of 720,000 assets and 20 terabytes of content, and complete the switch in a single, controlled window. Discover how the final go-live took just 26.5 hours, while global asset delivery never stopped for a moment.

Cloud Is the foundation, not the finish line

For years, moving to the cloud was a cost conversation. Today it's a capability one. The experiences your customers now expect — personalized, real-time, AI-supported — simply can't be built on aging on-premises infrastructure.

That's why the cloud question can't wait: it's not about where your servers live. It's about whether your business can build what comes next. Legacy systems tie up budget and people in maintenance instead of innovation, and they don't scale when demand spikes.

Cloud transformation removes that ceiling — and lays the groundwork for every AI and personalization initiative that follows.

An end-to-end partner, from first plan to daily operations

We don't hand you a strategy deck and walk away. Groundfog stays with you across the full journey — and owns the outcome.

We start by understanding where you stand.

A Cloud Readiness Assessment and Discovery Workshop map your applications, infrastructure, skills, and processes. The result is a prioritized roadmap and a clear business case — so you know what to move, in which order, and where it pays off.

Then we build.

We implement and configure your cloud infrastructure, analyze your data, and design a migration strategy tailored to your case. We train your teams and set up monitoring, support, and CI/CD from day one.

And we keep it running.

After go-live, we operate, monitor, and continuously improve your environment — so performance, cost, and security stay optimized long after the switch.

Not everything belongs in the cloud — and that's the point

The biggest mistake in cloud transformation is treating it as an all-or-nothing move. We don't. Before migrating anything, we decide together, workload by workload, what to move, rebuild, keep, and retire. That single decision protects your budget and your timeline.

Choosing the right home for each workload.
We support every model and match it to your case:

Public Cloud

our specialty, with deep AWS expertise, for maximum scale and flexibility.

Hybrid Cloud

the best fit for sensitive data, kept and processed in a private environment while the rest runs public.

Multi- Cloud

across providers, with specialized expertise in AWS and Azure.

Choosing the right way to get there.

Some workloads move fastest with a straight lift-and-shift. Others deliver far more value when re-architected to run cloud-native. We recommend the approach that balances speed, cost, and long-term payoff. There is never a one-size-fits-all migration.

Migration without the risk

Your old system stays live until the new one is running reliably. We analyze your data, build a migration strategy specific to your case, and test it on a real datasets before anything goes live. We validate the approach with you, agree on timing, and switch over only after you've signed off. For added safety, we can run both systems in parallel.

How long does a cloud transformation take?
It depends on scope, but it always starts with a Readiness Assessment that gives you a realistic, prioritized timeline before any work begins, no open-ended commitments.
Will our operations go down during migration?
No. Your existing system stays fully active until you test, validate, and sign off on the new environment. We can even run both in parallel during the transition.
Do we have to move everything?
No, and you shouldn't. We decide workload by workload what to migrate, rebuild, keep, or retire, so you only invest where it delivers value.
AWS or Azure — which is right for us?
Both are excellent; the right choice depends on your existing stack, requirements, and goals. We're specialized in both and give you vendor-neutral advice on the best fit.
What about sensitive or regulated data?
A hybrid approach lets you keep sensitive data and its processing in a private, sovereign environment while benefiting from public cloud everywhere else.
How do you keep cloud costs under control?
We shift you from fixed upfront investment to pay-for-what-you-use, then continuously monitor and optimize spend after go-live, so costs stay aligned with actual usage.
What happens after go-live?
We stay on. Monitoring, support, and continuous improvement are part of the service. We ship it, we own it.
