History

The company was founded in 2020, but its roots can be traced back to four IT companies, Beck et al. GmbH, binary GmbH, direkt gruppe GmbH, and infoWAN Datenkommunikation GmbH. [3] [4]

In 2019 the founders of these four companies envisioned creating a cloud enterprise that could support medium-sized and large enterprises throughout their entire cloud journey. With the support of Waterland Private Equity, Skaylink was established in March 2020, [5] bringing together the founding companies under one umbrella. [6] [7] [8]

In July–December 2021 AWS expert root360, BTT Cloud, and cVation were acquired by Skaylink. [9] [10] [11] [12]

ISG positioned Skaylink as a Leader in 2024 in the Microsoft Cloud Ecosystem “Microsoft 365 Services” for “Large Enterprises” and “Midmarket”, as a Rising Star for “Power Platform Services” as well as a Rising Star for Multi Public Cloud Services – Managed Services for Large Accounts in 2023. Lünendonk has listed Skaylink among the top 20 leading IT service companies in Germany. The company is also recognized in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Public Cloud IT Transformation Services and “Market Guide for Microsoft 365 Implementation and Support Services”. [13] Additionally, Skaylink was a finalist for the Microsoft partner of the Year – FastTrack Ready Award. [14] [15]

Skaylink operates in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Nordics, and Baltics, focusing on industries like finance, automotive and manufacturing. It specializes in cloud technologies including AWS, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365 and operates private clouds through their data centers. [16] [17] [18]

In August 2023 Skaylink got the AWS Premier Tier status. [19]

Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) is a subsidiary of Amazon that provides on-demand cloud computing platforms and APIs to individuals, companies, and governments, on a metered, pay-as-you-go basis. Clients will often use this in combination with autoscaling. These cloud computing web services provide various services related to networking, compute, storage, middleware, IoT and other processing capacity, as well as software tools via AWS server farms. This frees clients from managing, scaling, and patching hardware and operating systems. One of the foundational services is Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), which allows users to have at their disposal a virtual cluster of computers, with extremely high availability, which can be interacted with over the internet via REST APIs, a CLI or the AWS console. AWS's virtual computers emulate most of the attributes of a real computer, including hardware central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs) for processing; local/RAM memory; hard-disk (HDD)/SSD storage; a choice of operating systems; networking; and pre-loaded application software such as web servers, databases, and customer relationship management (CRM).
