Azure is where the Microsoft estate goes to the cloud: identity already in Entra ID, data already in SQL Server, teams already in the tooling. Done well it is a governed platform; done by console click-through it is a sprawl of subscriptions nobody can explain to an auditor. We do the first kind.
Our Azure consulting services cover landing zones and migration, data and AI platforms, application modernisation onto Azure services, DevOps on Azure, and the FinOps and operations that keep the bill and the compliance evidence under control.
From a landing zone designed before the first workload to the AI platform your data team runs on it, our Azure consulting services cover the Microsoft cloud end to end.
01
Landing Zones & Migration
Management groups, subscriptions, policy, networking and identity designed as a landing zone before anything moves; then workloads migrated in waves — rehost, replatform or refactor decided per application — with rollback plans and a cutover rehearsed rather than hoped for.

Lakehouses and warehouses on Fabric, Synapse or Databricks, pipelines with Data Factory, and AI services — Azure OpenAI, AI Search, Machine Learning — assembled into governed platforms with private endpoints, managed identity and the evaluation and cost controls production AI needs.

.NET and Java estates moved onto App Service, Container Apps and AKS, databases onto Azure SQL and PostgreSQL Flexible Server, queues onto Service Bus — in stages, with the application kept running and the platform services chosen for what the team can operate.

Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions pipelines, Bicep or Terraform for every resource, environments promoted by policy, secrets in Key Vault, and Defender for Cloud and Monitor wired in — the delivery platform that makes a change safe to ship on a Friday.

Monitoring and alerting your team can act on, patching and backup regimes tested by restore, security posture mapped to ISO/IEC 27001 controls, and a monthly cost review with reservations, right-sizing and tagging that turns the Azure bill from a surprise into a budget.

Why hire us for Azure, in five lines you can hold us to.
The Estate Already Speaks It
Entra ID, Microsoft 365, SQL Server and .NET integrate with Azure with the least friction of any cloud — and we know where the friction still hides.
Governance as Code
Management groups, policy and landing zones defined in code, so every new subscription inherits the controls instead of inventing its own.
Regulated-Ready Regions
Data residency, private endpoints, customer-managed keys and compliance offerings that map cleanly to ISO/IEC 27001 and the regimes banks, hospitals and manufacturers answer to.
AI With Guardrails
Azure OpenAI and AI Search inside your network boundary with identity, logging and content filters — enterprise AI the security team can approve.
A Bill You Can Read
Tagging, budgets, reservations and right-sizing from the first month; the cost review is a habit, not a rescue.

Architecture
Landing zones, network boundaries and account structure designed before the first workload, not discovered after the first incident.
A console click-through that nobody can reproduce.
Security & compliance
Least-privilege identity, encryption by default, audit trails and evidence mapped to ISO/IEC 27001 controls from day one.
Security as a checklist, after the audit finding.
Cost
Right-sized from the start: tagging, budgets, alerts and the reserved-vs-on-demand call made with numbers.
The bill is a surprise every month.
Estimation
Real timelines and budget, with the assumptions written down — no plot twist.
Estimate comes with ‘oops, missed that!’
Reliability
Infrastructure as code, tested rollbacks, backups that were actually restored, runbooks your team can follow at 3 a.m.
Snowflake servers and a prayer.
Documentation
Diagrams, decision records and runbooks that survive the engineer who wrote them.
The knowledge left with the contractor.
Industries
Where Our Azure Work Lives
Three of the nine industries we build for, with the Azure work or the Azure fit behind each, linked to the industry page.
01
Manufacturing
A production-grade RAG platform on Azure for a global consumer-goods manufacturer — 70% faster information retrieval, 60% less manual knowledge discovery — and a mining intelligence platform with 45% faster insight discovery.
Core and back-office workloads for banks and lenders on Azure: private networking, customer-managed keys, audit logging and the region and residency choices a regulator will ask about.
Clinical data platforms and patient applications on Azure with health-data services, FHIR APIs and the access governance a hospital’s Microsoft-centred IT estate already enforces.
Writing from the platform work: from DevOps to platform engineering, data mesh versus data fabric for enterprise transformation, and the sovereign sourcing framework for data residency.

Data Mesh vs. Data Fabric: Which Architecture Delivers Better ROI for Enterprise Digital Transformation in Europe?
Direct answers on Azure versus other clouds, migration, landing zones, AI on Azure, cost and what our Azure consulting services include after the migration.
01When is Azure the right cloud for us?
When the estate is Microsoft: identity in Entra ID, Microsoft 365, SQL Server, .NET applications and teams in the Microsoft tooling. Azure integrates with all of it with the least friction, and enterprise agreements often make it the economic choice too. If the estate is heterogeneous or open-source-heavy, we compare honestly and may recommend AWS or Google Cloud.
02What is a landing zone and why does it come first?
A landing zone is the governed foundation — management groups, subscriptions, policy, networking, identity, logging — that every workload inherits. Built first, in code, it means a new subscription is compliant by default. Skipped, it becomes the sprawl of subscriptions and exceptions that auditors and finance teams dread, and that is expensive to fix later.
03How do you migrate without downtime?
In waves, by application, with the migration strategy — rehost, replatform, refactor — chosen per workload. Each wave has a rehearsed cutover, a rollback plan and a validation checklist; databases move with replication and a short, planned switch. The business runs on the old environment until each wave is proven, and nothing is a big bang.
04Can we run generative AI on Azure safely?
Yes — Azure OpenAI and AI Search deploy inside your network boundary with private endpoints, managed identity, logging and content filters, and data is not used to train foundation models. We add evaluation, cost controls and audit trails so the platform is something the security and compliance teams can approve, not just a demo.
05How do you control Azure costs?
From the first month: mandatory tagging, budgets and alerts per subscription, right-sizing from real utilisation, reservations and savings plans for steady workloads, autoscaling for spiky ones and a monthly review with the numbers. Cost is designed in with the architecture, not reviewed after the first alarming invoice.
06What does managed operation look like after go-live?
Monitoring and alerting your team can act on, patching and backup regimes tested by actually restoring, security posture reviews mapped to ISO/IEC 27001 controls, incident response and a monthly cost and reliability review. Runbooks and infrastructure code are yours from day one; we run the platform for you, with you, or hand it over.
