Process Platforms.

We support organizations in the establishment and operation of modern platforms for workplace, applications and processes – from architecture to controlled implementation.

In doing so, we consider requirements for data protection, security and governance from the outset.

Our key areas of focus include:

Digital Workplace Platforms

Application Lifecycle and Application Deployment

Process Platforms

Our Approach

Sustainable IT platforms are not created through isolated individual projects but through structured architecture and controlled implementation.

IT platforms shouldn’t just work—they need to stay maintainable and under control over the long term.

This is build on proven frameworks and blueprints for structured implementation in complex platform environments.

Therefore, we focus on:

clear technical standards
structured deployment and lifecycle models
reproducible implementations

Our projects typically originate in organizations characterized by:

evolved and heterogeneous IT landscapes
demanding workplace and application environments
high requirements for stability, security, and traceability

Our Service Areas

We support organizations in the establishment and operation of modern IT platforms across three key areas:

Planning, establishment and continuous development of modern workplace platforms

Key Focus Areas

Microsoft 365
Azure Virtual Desktop
Windows 365
Citrix / VDI
Microsoft Intune and Endpoint Management
Recast Application Workspace as a central platform for application deployment and management

Objective
A stable and efficiently operable digital workplace.

Structured management and deployment of applications throughout their entire lifecycle

Key Focus Areas

Application Packaging
Migration of existing package structures
Application Lifecycle Management
Automated application deployment

Objective
Standardized and maintainable package structures as well as structured deployment processes.

Planning and implementation of digital workflow and process solutions

Key Focus Areas

Tools for transparency and optimization of workplace and infrastructure platforms

Technologies:

ControlUp – Monitoring and Performance Analysis for Digital Workplace Environments

We selectively leverage additional technologies from our partner network - always tailored to specific needs and with a technology-agnostic approach.

Technical Foundation

Modern IT platforms require structured and reproducible deployment processes.

Therefore we rely on our proprietary frameworks that structure and standardize software provisioning, deployment and platform operations based on established platforms such as Microsoft Intune, Microsoft SCC/MECM or Recast Application Workspace.

Our frameworks are built on real-world project experience. They are continuously evolved and form the technical foundation for many of our platform implementations.

Structured software deployment for complex platform environments

ceterion Packaging Framework facilitates structured and long-term maintainable software deployment within complex platform environments.

It is based on a modular, parameterizable PowerShell architecture, ensuring a clear separation between installation logic and metadata.

Integration with

Microsoft MECM / SCCM
Microsoft Intune
Recast
other enterprise systems

Benefits

Reproducible and standardized package structures
Centralized maintainability across various platforms
Migration-capable deployments for future platform or technology transitions

Structured deployment of infrastructure and platform components

ceterion Deployment Framework standardizes and automates the deployment of infrastructure and platform components within complex IT environments.

It is based on a modular architecture, enabling controllable, versionable and reproducible deployments across diverse platforms and operating models.

Integration with

Broadcom VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)
Citrix XenServer
PXE-based deployment infrastructures
Azure and hybrid infrastructures
other infrastructure and virtualization platforms

Benefits

Controlled and reproducible deployment processes
Structured rollout and update control
Consistent deployment across various platform and infrastructure environments

Data Protection made by ceterion

Data protection is an integral component of modern platform architectures – not merely an organizational or legal task.

We support organizations in integrating data protection requirements pragmatically into IT architectures, platform decisions and operational processes. In doing so, we do not view data protection in isolation, but within the context of workplace, infrastructure and platform architectures.

Key Focus Areas:

Assessment of IT architectures from a data protection perspective
Support in implementing GDPR requirements in IT platforms
Consulting for the implementation of cloud and workplace platforms
Integration of data protection into governance and operational processes

The goal is to achieve technically feasible, sustainably integrated data protection.

Our Philosophy

We take a long-term, structured and collaborative approach.

Our goal is not the next project, but resilient IT platforms built for long-term operation.

We combine architectural understanding, technical implementation and structured operating models into a consistent approach for planning, implementation and operation.

Our work is built on proven frameworks and blueprints for reproducible and traceable implementation.

Collaboration

Our services can be flexibly integrated – from architectural consulting and project implementation to long-term support for your IT team.

Our team consist of permanently employed staff from ceterion.

When needed, we selectively complement them with external specialists or partners from our network - under the technical direction and full responsibility of ceterion.
