What wolkenhof GmbH does

Wolkenhof GmbH is a German IT system house headquartered in Uelzen, Lower Saxony, providing integrated managed IT, cloud, and office workspace solutions to small and medium-sized enterprises across northern Germany. The company operates three divisions: Greencloud, its proprietary cloud infrastructure service built on an own 100% renewable-energy-powered data center in Bardowick offering IaaS, GDPR-compliant Cloud Backup, and Everything-as-a-Service packages with 99.9% uptime (Availability Class 3); IT, covering managed services, IT consulting, security, certified DATEV and ELO solutions, and external data protection officer services; and Office, comprising ergonomic workspace design, managed print concepts, and digitalization. Technology is built on Microsoft 365/Azure, Securepoint firewalls, Veeam backup, ELO ECM Suite, and Swyx unified communications, with deep vertical specializations in insurance, banking, healthcare, tax advisory, and legal services. All solutions are sold consultatively through direct field sales without public pricing.

The business monetizes through a mix of recurring managed service contracts, subscription-based cloud services (Greencloud), hardware and office equipment distribution, and project-based IT/office consulting, each engagement individually quoted. The company's customer base spans SMBs and large enterprises, with documented relationships exceeding 28 years (e.g., Uelzener Versicherung) and reference deployments covering 200–500+ workstations. Wolkenhof traces its roots to Bürowelt Köhn Gbr & Co. KG (founded 1973) and Reimers EDV Consulting GmbH (founded 1991). The current legal entity was formed in 2020 through the consolidation of Bürowelt Köhn & Ksoll, followed by acquisitions of Delta Burosysteme (2021) and Suhren IT (2021–2022), taking consolidated headcount to over 60 employees by 2023. The company opened a regional office in Bremen, broke ground on a new sustainable headquarters in 2024 (move-in 2025), and is an active member of three German IT/office networks (WinWin, DBC, comTeam) collectively reaching over 25,000 customers.
