Top IT Challenges in Germany 2025

Cloud transformation, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and IT governance will remain highly relevant for large enterprises and corporations in 2025. New regulations, increasing complexity in IT environments, as well as cost pressures and a shortage of skilled professionals, are driving the need for more efficient processes and technologies.

As a specialized IT service provider, beON can offer both technical expertise and strategic IT consulting—from analyzing current needs to implementing sustainable IT solutions.

Below is an overview of the areas that play a central role in modernizing IT landscapes and strengthening competitiveness in the German market.

  1. Cloud Transformation & Cloud Management
    • Cloud Strategy
      Whether cloud-only, cloud-first, or hybrid approaches: having a tailored strategy is essential for flexibility, cost control, and compliance. Hybrid and multi-cloud scenarios in particular require especially careful planning.
    • Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Orchestration
      Simultaneously using multiple cloud services (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and on-premises systems calls for clear governance and management structures to ensure scalability and availability.
    • FinOps and Cloud Cost Management
      Without structured monitoring and oversight, cloud expenses can quickly spiral out of control. The FinOps approach focuses on transparency, clearly defined responsibilities, and continuous optimization.
    • Cloud Governance and Compliance
      Regulatory requirements such as the GDPR, NIS2, or DORA make solid governance indispensable. Clear guidelines for cloud usage and processes increase security and provide a reliable basis for audits.
    • Industry Clouds and Sovereign Cloud Models
      Organizations in highly regulated sectors (e.g., finance, insurance, public sector) are increasingly relying on specialized cloud solutions with enhanced data protection and compliance standards.

  2.  Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Automation

    • AI in IT Service Management
      Chatbots and automated workflows can relieve the first-level support team and speed up the handling of standard inquiries. Many companies are also increasingly testing AI technologies for more complex tasks in second- and third-level processes.
    • Generative AI
      Since the success of ChatGPT, large language models (LLMs) have been in the spotlight. They can be used for code generation, document analysis, or the development of knowledge databases, among other applications.
    • Hyperautomation / RPA
      Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and machine learning enable the automation of repetitive processes. This increases efficiency and helps mitigate the shortage of skilled professionals by freeing up capacity for more demanding tasks.

  3. IT Operations & Cyber Security

    • Security Operations & Zero Trust
      As cyber threats continue to rise and legal requirements become more stringent, companies are making significant investments in IT security. Zero trust architectures, SOC services (Security Operations Centers), and modern identity and access management systems are in particularly high demand.
    • Provider and Multi-Provider Management
      Organizations using multiple IT and cloud service providers need stringent provider management to ensure both quality and security. Uniform standards and processes reduce risks and improve service quality.
    • Application Modernization & DevOps
      Many companies still rely on legacy systems, which often hinder innovation and integration. DevOps approaches and re-platforming concepts can modernize applications and prepare them for cloud and AI solutions.

  4. Data & Analytics

    • Data-Driven Business Models
      The use of advanced platforms (data lakes, BI tools) and advanced analytical methods is increasingly important. Companies recognize that data analytics can unlock new revenue potential and make existing processes more efficient.
    • Automation of Data Processes
      Within data-driven strategies, many process steps—from data integration and quality assurance to analysis—can be automated. This increases speed and accuracy while freeing employees to focus on more strategic tasks.
