Modernize and run

Cloud Services

A practical path to reliable cloud operation

We help assess, deploy and support cloud workloads with attention to access, resilience, cost and ownership.

  • Microsoft Azure
  • Azure App Service
  • Azure SQL
  • Backups and monitoring

How a Modernization Is Run

1

Assess Baseline

Review the existing code, database, hosting and security position, and list the risks.

2

Strangler Migration Plan

Break the move into small steps, keep existing integrations working, and agree a rollback path for each step.

3

Execute & Verify

Move one piece at a time and compare performance and behaviour with the current system.

4

Operate & Steward

Set up monitoring, alerts, backups and scheduled patching, with support terms agreed in writing.

Signs It Is Time to Modernize

  • Unpredictable hosting cost
  • No tested backup or recovery plan
  • Applications that go offline without anyone noticing

Cloud Services in practice

Who this suits

Organisations facing unpredictable hosting costs, with no tested backup or recovery plan, or whose applications go offline without anyone noticing.

What you receive

An assessment of your current hosting, a deployment on Microsoft Azure (App Service and Azure SQL where they fit), backups and monitoring, and clear notes on access, cost and ownership.

How we approach it

We start by understanding what must stay running and what a failure would cost, then design for access control, recovery and cost together. Who owns and can access each account is agreed up front, and recovery steps are written down and tested rather than assumed.

Frequently asked questions

Which cloud do you work with?

Our delivery experience centres on Microsoft Azure. We recommend what fits your workload and budget.

Can you move an existing website to the cloud?

Yes. We plan the migration, test it and cut over with a rollback path so downtime is minimal.
