Microsoft Azure

As long-term Microsoft Gold partners, we’re big advocates of Azure.

Azure is one of the two major cloud hosting platforms along with Amazon Web Services (AWS). It tends to be our hosting platform of choice for a wide range of websites and digital projects.

Azure is an extremely versatile, robust and secure hosting platform that serves everyone from smaller companies to huge enterprises. It can also provide a range of additional benefits and services.

Getting the best out of Azure

We’ve been using Azure for hosting since it was first introduced in 2010. Over the years we’ve completed hundreds of projects that rely on Azure, and in that time, we’ve developed deep technical knowledge and have advised many clients on how to optimise Azure and get the very best out of the platform.

In many cases, we flexibily partner with your IT team for the medium- to long-term to help manage and evolve your Azure environment to support security, performance, compliance, cost and future needs.

Why we love working with Azure

Azure provides an extremely reliable and highly scalable hosting platform that is suitable for almost every cloud-based digital project, ensuring exceptional performance, supporting effective DevOps and proofing you for future change.

It ticks all the boxes from a security viewpoint, leveraging Microsoft’s industry-leading investment in security, while also providing additional monitoring options.

Azure also presents advanced compliance and governance options, providing flexibility over data residency while seamlessly integrating with leading data governance solutions like Microsoft Purview.

Azure also opens up access to a number of different services that allows you to do everything from integrating all your unstructured data to enabling the very latest AI services.

Whether you’re looking to right size your environment to reduce costs, want to shore up your security and data governance approaches, or just want to know how to best use Azure for an upcoming project, we’re here to help.
