Cloud Consultancy
SUE provides cloud native consultants who work alongside your team: for Kubernetes, Cloud Migration, automation, security, and FinOps. They resolve the specific challenge you’ve brought them in to address and transfer their knowledge so your team can handle it on its own afterward. Since 1997, with 150+ engineers and consultants.

Consultancy
Specialists who are part of your team
An additional engineer solves a capacity problem. If that expert then leaves with that engineer, you’ll have the same problem a year later. That’s why our consultants work according to the principle “Show. Do together. Do yourself.”
Our consultants typically join your team on a medium- or long-term basis. They take on a specific challenge, such as a Kubernetes platform that isn’t running stably, a migration that’s stalled, or a CI/CD pipeline that no one dares to modify.
They work with the tools you already use and document their work in code and documentation in your own repositories. That way, your team can continue working even after the consultant has left.
When should you choose consultancy?
Consultancy is a good fit if you set the direction yourself but lack specialized knowledge or capacity. You manage the work, and SUE provides the expertise.
If you want a clearly defined result with a fixed delivery date, choose Professional Services. If you want to outsource day-to-day management, then Managed Services a better fit.
