Azure & Microsoft 365 Cloud Services
The independent Microsoft Partner who has already made the mistakes, so you get the shortcut, not an experiment on your business.
Make Your Azure An Advantage, Not An Overhead.
Independent Azure architecture and cloud projects, fixed price, built by people who have already made the mistakes so you do not have to.
We design, migrate and secure Azure environments as fixed-price projects. Architecture first, ongoing management only if you want us to keep running it afterwards. Nothing to resell, no agenda, no surprise bills. Remote-first, UK-wide.
The Azure Reality for Most Businesses
Bills Keep Growing
Started at £500/month. Now it's £2,000+ and nobody knows why. Test VMs still running. Premium storage for archive data. Licences for people who left.
No Architecture
Resources scattered across subscriptions. No naming conventions. No tagging. No management groups. Finding things requires tribal knowledge.
Security Gaps
Public endpoints everywhere. No network segmentation. Service accounts with owner permissions. Security Center recommendations ignored.
No Visibility
What's running? What's it costing? Who's using it? Is it performing? Nobody knows until something breaks or the invoice arrives.
"Someone Set It Up"
A consultant, a previous IT person, or "Dave who left." Nobody current knows how it works or why it was configured that way.
No Disaster Recovery
Backups exist (probably). But have they been tested? Can you actually restore? How long would it take? Usually the answer is "we don't know."
Azure isn't the problem. Unmanaged Azure is the problem.
Azure Services We Deliver
Fixed-price architecture and migration projects first. Ongoing management is an option afterwards, never the starting point.
Azure Architecture & Infrastructure
Virtual machines, networking, storage. Properly designed as a fixed-price project, not just "spun up."
- Landing zone design
- Network segmentation
- ExpressRoute / VPN connectivity
- Management groups and policy
Azure Migration
Move from on-premises to Azure. Server by server or lift-and-shift, scoped and quoted before we start.
- Assessment and planning
- Azure Migrate tooling
- Minimal downtime migrations
- Post-migration optimisation
Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD)
Cloud-hosted Windows desktops. Work from anywhere, any device. Your apps, your data, Microsoft's infrastructure.
- Windows 11 multi-session
- FSLogix profile management
- Auto-scaling for cost control
- Integrate with Intune and Conditional Access
Azure Backup & DR
Backups that are actually tested. Recovery plans that actually work.
- Azure Backup for VMs and data
- Immutable backup (ransomware protection)
- Cross-region replication
- Regular DR testing
Cost Optimisation
Stop paying for waste. We find the reserved-instance, right-sizing and orphaned-resource savings most Azure environments have.
- Reserved instance analysis
- Right-sizing recommendations
- Orphaned resource cleanup
- FinOps practices
Azure Security
Secure by design, not bolted on later.
- Defender for Cloud
- Network security groups
- Private endpoints
- Azure Policy enforcement

Microsoft Partner
Direct access to Microsoft support escalation, partner resources, and early access to new Azure features.
Architecture First
We have already built and run this, so you get the shortcut past the mistakes, not an experiment on your business. Landing zones, management groups, policy and governance before anything is deployed.
Cost Obsessed
Reserved instances, right-sizing, orphaned resources cleaned up. Your bill should make sense.
Security Built In
Not bolted on. Defender for Cloud, network segmentation, private endpoints, policy enforcement. From day one.
Independent, Remote-First
Nothing to resell, no agenda, no surprise bills. UK-wide, with on-site visits arranged only when you actually need one, never sold as a fixed response promise.
Plain English
No Azure jargon without explanation. You'll understand what you're paying for and why it's configured that way.
Azure FAQs
We already have Azure. Can you take over?
Yes. We start with a health check to understand what's deployed, how it's configured, and what needs fixing. Then we can do one-off remediation or ongoing management.
How much does Azure cost?
It depends on what you need. A simple AVD environment might be £30-50/user/month. Complex infrastructure varies widely. We always provide cost estimates before deploying.
Can you migrate us from on-premises?
Yes. We assess your current environment, plan the migration, and execute with minimal downtime. We've migrated file servers, applications, databases, and entire datacentres.
What about our existing IT team?
We work alongside internal IT. Some clients want us to handle Azure entirely. Others want us for architecture and escalation. We're flexible.
Is Azure secure?
Azure is secure. Misconfigured Azure isn't. We implement Defender for Cloud, network controls, identity protection, and ongoing monitoring to keep it that way.
Can we use Azure and still have on-premises servers?
Yes. Hybrid is common. Azure Arc extends cloud management to on-prem. VPN or ExpressRoute connects the networks. Many clients run hybrid for years during gradual migration.
