"Secure by design" seems to stop at Windows all too often
Windows is still often regarded as the safe default. But if you look at its design, you’ll see something different: security features that were mostly added only after they proved necessary. In this blog, you’ll learn why Linux, macOS, and mobile platforms are fundamentally more robust.
Hub-and-spoke looks good, until you see the costs and the unmanageability
Greater security does not automatically require greater network complexity. This blog shows how hub-and-spoke can drive up costs and management overhead, and why measures such as local firewalls, separate management, and a smaller attack surface are often a more sensible solution. For organizations...
“Market leader” is synonymous with mediocrity, and that costs you a lot of money, possibly millions.
The roadmap of a monopolist is no longer about your speed, but about their predictable revenue. It starts subtly and ends in slow software, more expensive licenses, and more incidents. This blog shows you where the leaks are and which buttons you already have at your disposal today.
This is the end of your agility, IT professional
More and more companies are bending their processes to fit standard SaaS. Nice and fast, less customization—but you're buying agility and autonomy from your supplier. What are you really solving, and what are better alternatives?
From CSRD compliance to genuine green IT (without greenwashing)
Many organizations measure themselves to death for CSRD, but still don't focus on what matters: kWh per transaction, kg CO₂ per user, and costs per workload. Even though it's so easy to do! This blog shows where greening often gets stuck and how you can use measurement and optimization to remove...
I see your IT leaks. And I can't look away.
IT isn't “expensive” because of bad luck. It's expensive because of complexity that doesn't suit your scale. In this blog, I'll show you where that waste occurs — and why you often pay for IT that you don't need at all.
The uncomfortable answer to “What does digital autonomy really cost?”
What does digital autonomy really cost? A LinkedIn discussion got me thinking: the comparison between hyperscalers and Schleswig-Holstein sounds clear, until you scrutinize the assumptions. In this blog, I show where “integration” is mainly framing, which hyperscaler risks you are missing in your...
Get more out of your data center by buying less
Is your data center “full”? Usually, it's just inefficient. In this blog, you can read how to measure capacity in terms of business value (not in racks or MW) and how targeted optimization can significantly reduce costs and energy consumption. Without a mega project.
Compliance on paper, misery in production
Many organizations treat non-functionals as an afterthought: “We'll do that later.” Until you run out of support and “upgrade now” becomes more important than performance, authorization, logging, and recoverability. The result: incidents that were predictable—if you had made them measurable. This...
