Microsoft Azure

We have the skills and experience to untap the potential of Microsoft Azure, to ensure it delivers maximum value to your organisation.

Our accreditations speak for themselves

Unlocking the full potential of Microsoft Azure

The Azure platform offers over 200 services that can be provisioned to deliver applications on a per-second basis. But while this brings a wealth of opportunity, it also involves a measure of complexity – which our expertise can cut right through.

We know that successful deployment typically requires multiple services with many configuration settings, and that the data held on these applications may be confidential, sensitive, or subject to regulation. Security is therefore fundamental. But a successful Azure deployment must also function well, and our experience and best-practice knowledge give us stand-out advantage in achieving these complementary goals.

We’ll pull out all the stops to ensure that your data is protected and that your systems are following best-practice architectures. We will also do whatever we can to find and implement potential improvements and to detect and resolve any security risks before they can grow into problems.

Landing zone design and build

If you are in the initial stages of creating an Azure environment, we can design and build a landing zone with the right set of policies and controls in place to ensure the environment you migrate into is ‘live’ and ready for use while maintaining best practices for security and governance. This can be undertaken on a project basis or as part of a wider cloud migration.

Cloud migration

If you are looking for an edge when adopting Azure, our extensive history of migrating systems and applications to the cloud, coupled with our experience of hosting and maintaining customer environments, make us a sound choice. We begin with a process of understanding both the technical and business impacts of migrating to ensure you achieve your business goals – be they reducing costs, enhancing reliability, or unlocking new capabilities.

Managed Azure services

Once your environment is set up in Azure, we can help to ensure that the systems and services inside it are running well, that your data is protected from attack, and that your business achieves the benefits of scaling appropriately. We’ll help to control your costs, monitor performance and capacity and provide actionable recommendations. We can deliver a fully managed service, or work alongside your in-house IT team.

Azure security and networking

By successfully integrating Azure into our wider security management services, we make sure that your total security surface is covered. Our monitoring services include service health, backup, security monitoring, actionable alerts, disaster recovery monitoring, traffic analytics, inventory capabilities and real-time threat monitoring. We also offer higher levels of security and regulatory compliance if required.

Training and enablement

We can provide user and administrator training across the Azure technology stack, with additional support from expert consultants when needed. For the majority of businesses, the most important factor in moving to the cloud isn’t the actual migration; it’s the ability to extract maximum benefit from their investment and training is a key part of getting to grips with the technology.
