What we do

Azure migration

Your journey to the cloud

Looking for an Azure partner to help you migrate?

You’re in the right place. We drive business transformation through best practice cloud migrations and operations that perfectly align with Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework.

Leverage vast experience in operating Azure environments to gain support and optimisations, or simply offload some donkey work to drive business efficiencies and growth. Spend your resources where it matters – on delivering value to your customers and driving business projects forward.

Assess and plan

Whether you are building a business case or you’re ready to migrate, our assessments and planning services will help you create a detailed Azure migration strategy that ensures the success of your project.

Review where you are, and what you need:

We review requirements from your stakeholders, alongside performing a workload analysis to gather all the necessary information from a data and requirement perspective.

Identify where you want to go:

You need a realistic view of operating in Azure. As such, we bake in considerations for security, AI readiness, estimated costs, and ongoing operations into our analysis. This helps you build a business case that reflects what is achievable within the constraints of your requirements.

Create your transformation plan:

Your workloads have different functions and requirements. Therefore, we can individually design the target state of each workload using the 5 pillars of Microsoft’s Well Architected Framework (WAF). Each workload is considered based on what you need it to do, which means you get the most ROI from your move to cloud.

Implement

Our team of Azure experts aligns your environment with Microsoft best practices. We accomplish this by continuously monitoring against the 5 Well-Architected Framework pillars, with an additional focus on Sustainability. You’ll receive regular optimisation reports, updates on how your environment scores in each area, and feedback on the work we are doing.

Phase One

Identify and migrate the quick wins, to deliver fast returns on investment with minimal impact on your delivery.

Step four:

Strategically plan and implement the re-architecting and migration of more sophisticated workloads, where return on investment is realised over a longer period of time.

By prioritising migrations in this way, we help ensure that your new environment is providing value as soon as possible.

As an Azure Expert MSP, we know a thing or two about getting the most out of Microsoft Azure. We understand that it is successful operations in the cloud, not just the cloud migration, that counts.

That’s why we build it right

Landing Zone

Building solid foundations in the cloud is critical. Realising the full value of Azure relies on these fundamental structures that put security and performance at the core of your cloud environment.

With Azure Landing Zones in place, you’ll benefit from…

Increased speed

Access the tools and capabilities you need to migrate to the cloud and deploy new workloads quickly

Enhanced scalability

Build consistent environments with the same configuration and controls, enabling you to scale with ease

Improved security and performance

Leverage secure, scalable, and compliant architectures that incorporate Microsoft best practices and industry standards

Operate

Once you’ve reached your destination, your journey continues.

We make it easier for you operate effectively in Azure by planning for the target operational state from the outset, designing and building your environment with security in mind, and embedding your ongoing operations at the core of the project.

Take control of your Azure management

We won’t drop you off and leave you at the door. As a Cloud Direct customer, you’ll receive continued support with exclusive access to Provide™ – our cloud management platform for Azure subscription management, analytics, security advice, billing, licencing, and knowledge articles.

We stay by your side every step of the way.
