What can companies learn about the future from a port that’s over 100 years old? Quite a lot. Using Cologne’s Rheinau Port as an example, Klaus Werner shows that the future doesn’t mean throwing everything from the past overboard. After all, the most valuable assets are often already there—the company’s own people, their experience, and its own data. Especially in the age of AI, it’s crucial to harness these strengths in new ways and use them to create something new. After all, AI is transforming our business. The crucial question is: Are we just watching, or are we charting our own course?

Many companies are currently realizing that the operating environment in the data center is changing. Rising costs, revised licensing models, and new demands for flexibility and scalability are prompting a reevaluation of existing strategies. At the same time, the common response is often to move everything to the cloud. But what if this radical step isn’t the right solution for your IT landscape? In this session, we’ll show why seemingly simple decisions often bring new challenges and how a hybrid approach offers a realistic and sustainable path forward. Instead of completely replacing existing infrastructure, the goal is to strategically enhance proven systems and integrate them with modern platforms. Learn how to make your IT strategy more independent, protect your investments, and maintain control over your infrastructure at the same time.

In many places, cloud costs have spiraled out of control. Auto-scaling runs rampant, multi-cloud environments grow without adequate oversight, and it’s often unclear who is responsible for which resources. At the same time, the question of how dependent companies want to be on individual cloud providers, technologies, and operating models is coming up more and more frequently. What was originally intended as a driver of innovation, growth, and flexibility has become a financial and strategic black box for many companies. In this masterclass, we’re deliberately skipping tool demos. Instead, we’ll tell the stories of three European companies: a leading global industrial firm, a chemical company, and a streaming provider.
