Cloud Explorer – The platform for digital SMEs

For many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), digitalization is more of a challenge than an opportunity. Which IT solutions are really suitable? Where can I find reliable partners? And how can I keep track of all the trends?

That’s exactly why Deutsche Telekom teamed up with us to launch Cloud Explorer – a platform that provides guidance, builds trust, and enables direct connections. Practical. Focused. And always at the cutting edge of digital developments.

The challenge: making digitalization tangible

How can SMEs find their way into the digital future without getting lost in the jungle of buzzwords? Telekom wanted to create a platform that offers more than just information: a digital point of contact that bundles IT expertise, makes cloud solutions visible, and promotes genuine exchange. A platform that connects people, companies, and know-how.

The solution: Cloud-Explorer.de – more than just a platform

Together with Telekom, we developed Cloud-Explorer.de – an intelligent B2B ecosystem that combines the four key drivers of digital success:

Content. Technology. Traffic. Analytics.

As a full-service agency, we supported the project from start to finish:

  • Strategic concept
  • UX and UI design
  • Technical implementation
  • Editorial support
  • Continuous development

At the heart of it all is an intelligent search function that makes it possible to find over 600 qualified IT service providers from the Telekom CSP² partner network. The offering is complemented by:

  • A knowledge hub for cloud, IT security, and digitalization
  • A dedicated magazine featuring relevant business trends
  • Studies, events, and webinars for deeper insights
  • An active community for digital exchange

We used the following services:

Analytics & BI

Strategy & Conception

Design, UX, Conversion

Content & Editing

Development & CMS

Marketing & Promotion
