Azure Cloud Migration Company in Berlin

QServices delivers Azure cloud migration services to companies in Berlin. We are not headquartered in Berlin, but we work with Berlin clients across Tech, FinTech, and Manufacturing with 3-4 hours of daily CET morning overlap. QServices is a remote-first Microsoft Solutions Partner serving German businesses with Azure expertise.

What Berlin buyers typically need from Azure cloud migration

Berlin's Tech sector, FinTech startups under BaFin oversight, and Manufacturing firms share a common challenge: infrastructure and application stacks that cannot carry modern AI workloads or meet current compliance reporting requirements. Migration scenarios we regularly work on in these industries include:

• FinTech workloads meeting BaFin requirements: Moving applications to Azure EU regions to satisfy BaFin's cloud outsourcing guidance and GDPR Articles 44-49 data transfer restrictions.
• Manufacturing ERP and OT integration: Migrating line-of-business applications to Azure App Service or Azure Kubernetes Service while maintaining continuity with on-premise operational technology systems.
• SaaS re-architecture for enterprise sales: Berlin tech startups moving from shared hosting to Azure because enterprise buyers require Microsoft-certified vendors or Azure-native architectures.
• Disaster recovery and multi-region failover: Azure's European regions (West Europe in the Netherlands and North Europe in Ireland) give German businesses documented data residency for GDPR purposes.

We scope GDPR compliance into the architecture review from day one, not as an afterthought. For Berlin FinTech clients, we also document BaFin cloud outsourcing obligations before any workload leaves your existing environment.

How we work with Berlin clients

Our team is based in India (IST, UTC+5:30). Berlin operates on CET (UTC+1 in winter) or CEST (UTC+2 in summer), which gives us 3.5 to 4 hours of morning overlap when your Berlin day starts at 9 AM. We hold standups and sprint reviews during that window. Everything else is async, with written summaries sent before your day ends.

We work over Microsoft Teams or Slack, your preference. Code review happens through pull requests on Azure DevOps, with inline comments and approval workflows. You get full visibility into the project board, so progress is visible without scheduling a check-in.

We do not have a Berlin office. On-site visits for milestone reviews or architecture workshops are available on request at travel cost. Most clients find the async-first pattern sufficient once established in the first two sprints.

Our Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) governance model places your team as an approver at each migration phase gate before we proceed. For FinTech clients, where a failed migration window has both compliance and operational consequences, this structure is not optional.

Relevant work in similar markets

We do not have a published case study from a Berlin client. The two closest examples in our public work are both Azure migrations with direct relevance to Berlin's FinTech and Tech sectors:

SomBank is an Islamic bank that needed a mobile payment platform built on Azure for a regulated financial environment. The architecture used Azure B2C for identity, Azure Service Bus for transaction messaging, Azure Key Vault for secrets, and Ocelot as an API gateway. The platform launched with 100,000+ downloads and a 4.8-star rating, handling P2P transfers, merchant QR payments, and international remittances. The auth and secrets handling decisions from this project map directly to what Berlin FinTech companies face under BaFin's cloud outsourcing framework.

Ergonnex is a SaaS startup that needed an AI-driven project management platform on Azure. The stack included React 18, Next.js, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL deployed to Azure, with real-time dashboards and AI-based resource allocation. This project reflects the Azure-native build pattern that Berlin tech companies need when moving from prototype to production. See our Azure migration work for FinTech companies or the Azure cloud migration cost breakdown for more detail.

What Azure cloud migration costs for a typical Berlin project

Our rates are in USD. Berlin clients convert at current EUR/USD rates; we do not adjust pricing for local currency movements.

Typical project cost ranges for Azure cloud migration:

• Small scope ($15,000-$40,000): Single application lift-and-shift or targeted refactor to Azure App Service. Includes architecture review, migration, and 30 days post-migration support. Typical timeline: 6-10 weeks.
• Medium scope ($40,000-$80,000): Multi-service migration with Azure SQL, Azure DevOps pipeline setup, and security hardening. Appropriate for FinTech workloads needing GDPR documentation and BaFin audit trail requirements. Typical timeline: 10-16 weeks.
• Large scope ($80,000-$150,000): Full platform migration with Azure Kubernetes Service, multi-region disaster recovery, and third-party compliance review. Typical timeline: 16-20 weeks.

Add 15-25% to any scope involving formal BaFin compliance review or GDPR data mapping documentation. Each non-trivial system integration adds $3,000-$12,000. A 90-minute discovery call is enough to scope most projects. Full detail at Azure cloud migration pricing.

How to start working with us

Three steps to begin:

1. Discovery call (30 minutes): We review your current infrastructure, your target state on Azure, and any compliance requirements. No preparation required on your side.
2. Scoping document (3-5 business days): We return a written scope covering migration phases, timeline, and pricing options (fixed-price or time-and-materials).
3. Project start: Sign the agreement, pay the first milestone, and we begin the architecture review in week one.

Use the form below to request a discovery call. We respond within one business day, prioritizing CET morning hours for Berlin clients.

Can you work with Berlin companies remotely?

Yes. We work with Berlin clients on fully remote engagements. Our India-based team overlaps with CET mornings by 3.5-4 hours, which is enough time for standups, sprint reviews, and live decisions. We use Microsoft Teams or Slack for communication and Azure DevOps for all project tracking.

For data residency, all production workloads are deployed to Azure's EU regions by default: West Europe (Netherlands) or North Europe (Ireland). This satisfies GDPR data residency requirements under Articles 44-49. BaFin-regulated clients get a dedicated compliance scope in the architecture review phase, covering cloud outsourcing documentation before any data or workload moves. As a Microsoft Solutions Partner with active Azure certifications, we satisfy most enterprise vendor qualification requirements in Germany.
