A move to Azure brings considerable advantages to your operations - from greater agility to freeing up time for more value-add activities.

What to consider for a move to Azure

Finding the right Azure partner

Finding the right Azure model

Customers have different requirements, depending on the stage of their migration journey. We offer different models to give you the guidance you require:

  • Re-host: For customers who have already decided to migrate and selected a Cloud provider
  • Re-platform: For customers who have selected a Cloud provider for migration and want to transform workloads as part of the project
  • Enterprise assessment: For customers who are uncertain about cloud migration strategy and want to first understand the implications before making any decisions

Optimising finances

Moving your on-site infrastructure to a CSP model has a wealth of benefits - from shifting the costs from CapEx to OpEx to saving time on maintenance. 

However, there is a range of Azure billing models to choose from, which organisations often find difficult to navigate. We can advise on selecting the best model for you, so that you optimise your approach at the outset, and know it will meet your evolving needs as well.

We can also help post-migration, to ensure there are no unpleasant billing surprises in the future. That means you can continually balance costs, flexibility and risk for the best results.
