✦ Christian Dorner ( Web Services (AWS) ) joins us once again, and we're thrilled to welcome him back! As Partner Development SA at AWS, he supports partners across Austria and Europe on their cloud journey – drawing on 10 years in cloud-native environments and 20 years in enterprise software before that.

His talk, "From Boardroom to Build: Bridging Business Value and AWS Technology", makes the case that most agentic programmes fail not because of the models, but because the process isn't clear and the codebase isn't ready – and walks through AWS's approach to closing that gap, from AgentStorming to Agent Readiness and beyond.

–––––

✦ Frederic Hoffmann ( ) takes the stage for the first time, and we couldn't be more excited to have him! As an IT consultant with 8 years of experience across Big Data, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and AI automation, his expertise spans Kubernetes, observability, CI/CD, AWS, and Kafka.

His talk, "One Login, Any Model: Secure EU Inference for Claude Code and Beyond", shows how organizations can achieve secure, EU-based AI inference without compromising on flexibility or developer experience.

💬 Is data sovereignty in the cloud actually realistic?

Our Head of Sales, Stefan Grandl, joined the IT WELT expert roundtable on one of the industry’s most important topics: Cloud and Data Sovereignty 2026.

He shared his perspective on how organizations can design IT landscapes that remain resilient, adaptable, and ready for future challenges.

The key question is no longer “cloud or no cloud”. It is about making the right architectural and strategic decisions to balance innovation, control, and independence.

Topics covered included:

☁️ Why sovereignty is increasingly shaped by architecture and governance, not just contractual agreements
🌍 Whether reducing dependencies on US hyperscalers is realistic, or whether sovereignty means managing dependencies differently
⚖️ Whether solutions such as the European Sovereign Cloud represent a true shift or a pragmatic compromise
🇪🇺 How far European alternatives like Gaia-X can support real-world sovereignty goals

Digital sovereignty is not achieved through isolation. It comes from transparency, clear principles, and the ability to adapt when circumstances change.

Thank you to IT WELT for the inspiring discussion and valuable exchange.
