Azure Cloud Solutions

Azure design and delivery for organisations already living in the Microsoft ecosystem.

Overview

If your organisation already runs Microsoft 365 and Entra ID, Azure is usually the path of least resistance — the identity, licensing and support relationships are in place. The trap is assuming that makes the architecture decisions for you. Resource group sprawl, inconsistent networking and unmanaged subscriptions cost real money and real recovery time.

We build Azure environments around the Cloud Adoption Framework without treating it as scripture: landing zones and policy where they earn their keep, and plain, well-documented resources everywhere else.

What you get

Identity done once, properly

Entra ID, conditional access and privileged access aligned with how your people actually work.

Governance that is not theatre

Azure Policy and management groups applied where they prevent real mistakes, not to generate compliance reports.

Predictable spend

Cost management, budgets and reservation planning tied to workloads rather than a single monthly total.

Microsoft-native integration

Clean connections to Microsoft 365, Power Platform and on-premises Active Directory where they exist.

How we work

  1. 01

    Assess

    We map subscriptions, identity, networking and spend, and flag the gaps that matter most.

  2. 02

    Design

    A landing zone and governance model proportionate to your size — not an enterprise template for a thirty-person business.

  3. 03

    Implement

    Bicep or Terraform, deployed through Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions with approvals where they belong.

  4. 04

    Enable

    Your team is trained on the environment and holds the documentation before we step back.

Common questions

We have Azure but nobody owns it. Where do we start?

With an assessment. Knowing what exists, who uses it and what it costs almost always changes the priority order people expect.

Is Azure cheaper than AWS?

Not inherently. Existing Microsoft agreements and hybrid benefits can make it cheaper for your specific workloads, which is worth modelling rather than assuming.

Can you help with hybrid on-premises setups?

Yes. Azure Arc, site-to-site networking and staged migration are common in New Zealand, where plenty of infrastructure is not going anywhere soon.
