Skaylink or Skaylink.com is a cloud services company specializing in digital transformation and cloud computing technologies. As of 2023, Skaylink has 11 locations, with eight in Germany and additional offices in Romania, Brazil, Denmark, and Lithuania.[1][2]

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]

In 2023, ISG positioned Skaylink as a leader for “Microsoft Cloud Ecosystem” and “Managed Public Cloud Services for Midmarket”. The company is also recognized in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Public Cloud IT Transformation Services. Additionally, Skaylink was a finalist for the Microsoft Partner of the Year – FastTrack Ready Award.[13][14]

Skaylink operates in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, 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.[15][16][17]

In August 2023, Skaylink got the AWS Premier Tier status.[18]
