German Firms Embrace AWS for Scalable IT Modernization

German enterprises are rapidly adopting AWS and its cloud-native and AI-enabled services to modernize IT and data infrastructure, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm.

The 2025 ISG Provider Lens AWS Ecosystem Partners report for Germany finds enterprises are expanding their use of cloud-native architectures to improve scalability, flexibility and cost efficiency. This continued modernization has reinforced AWS’ position as Germany’s preferred platform for digital transformation and strengthened its growing partner ecosystem.

“German enterprises are modernizing their IT environments to simplify operations and manage costs,” said Andrea Spiegelhoff, partner and managing director at ISG. “AWS is playing a key role by enabling faster project delivery and more flexible use of data and applications.”

German enterprises are adopting integrated professional services that combine AWS consulting and migration to accelerate transitions and reduce implementation risk, the report says. Many organizations now seek external expertise to plan and execute AWS migrations so they can realize the business benefits of the cloud more quickly. Seeking smooth transitions and better outcomes from their AWS initiatives, companies work with partners that also provide ongoing operational support.

As AWS adoption grows in Germany, organizations are increasingly relying on managed services to handle complex cloud environments, ISG says. Managed AWS services now play a central role in supporting ongoing operations and meeting evolving business needs. Companies seek partners with advanced operational expertise, effective cost control, strong security and proven capabilities across hybrid and multicloud environments. Providers with established local operations and strong data governance capabilities are especially attractive in the German market.

German enterprises are prioritizing data modernization to utilize their expanding data assets, the report says. Companies are adopting advanced integration and analytics capabilities to transform unstructured, siloed data from IoT and business systems into unified cloud-based systems. As cloud integration becomes increasingly complex, enterprises are relying more on experienced partners for strategy, implementation and ongoing management to ensure scalability and performance.
