Where Enterprise PKI Meets Microsoft Infrastructures
About Us
XELANED GmbH is a specialized consulting firm for enterprise PKI and Microsoft infrastructures. We support mid-sized and large organizations in delivering demanding initiatives — from architecture and design through implementation and migration to troubleshooting, optimization, and operational handover and administration. Our strength: enterprise-grade quality combined with the flexibility of a small team.
Our goal is to deliver the highest technical standards over the long term within a clearly defined field of expertise; accordingly, we continuously invest in the advanced training of our consultants. Since our founding in 2007, we have successfully delivered numerous IT projects for major German enterprises and established ourselves as a mid-sized service provider. We have worked with many DAX, MDAX and SDAX companies; in addition, major systems integrators and IT service providers such as Bechtle, Capgemini, T-Systems and Accenture engage us as a project partner. Clients value, above all, our deep expertise and our fast, straightforward, yet high-quality execution. What sets us apart: despite our enterprise focus, we operate without the overhead of large providers — no long coordination paths, no oversized teams, and no unnecessary budgets. We remain intentionally lean, dynamic and solution-oriented so that projects can be planned efficiently, implemented cleanly and transferred into operations reliably.

Our Services
We start with a concise, precise analysis to capture your actual requirements — and build a solution that consistently aligns with them. Thanks to many years of experience, our consultants quickly identify the direct path even in complex IT environments, without time-consuming and cost-driving detours. The result: clearly structured, easy to use and administer, reliable in operations, and flexibly scalable — from small to large. XELANED provides this “enterprise quality” to all clients, because our approach fits not only the cost framework of large corporations, but also the budgets of mid-sized companies. The goal is a professionally structured, future-ready IT infrastructure that remains manageable with your resources and scales with your growth — optionally complemented by efficient operational services, high availability and personal support.
Project Phases
Architecture & Design
We clarify goals, constraints and priorities, capture requirements and design a viable target architecture. Standards, interfaces, security and governance are defined so that implementation and operations are plannable from day one.
Implementation & Migration
We implement the design in a controlled manner, automate recurring steps and execute migrations in risk-minimized stages. Tests, reviews and documentation ensure consistency so the target state remains stable, traceable and auditable.
Troubleshooting & Optimization
We analyze incidents by impact, identify root causes and implement sustainable corrections instead of short-term workarounds. Metrics, monitoring and hardening guide optimization, measurably improving performance, security and availability.
Operational Handover & Administration
We transition in a structured way into regular operations, deliver runbooks, an operating model and clear responsibilities for all processes. Training, lifecycle planning and monitoring complete the package so your team can take over confidently and preserve know-how.
