Technologies / Azure
App Service, Functions, AKS, Cosmos, Service Bus, and Azure AD — engineered for organisations already invested in the Microsoft ecosystem.
For organisations standardised on Microsoft — M365, Entra ID, and existing enterprise agreements — Azure is often the right cloud on both technical and commercial grounds. We work in Azure the way it rewards: aligned to Entra ID for identity, aligned to M365 for tooling, and aligned to the commercial terms your organisation already has.
We use Azure where it earns its place. These are the situations we see most often.
VMs running everything because the team hasn't invested in PaaS or serverless — a much more expensive way to run Azure.
Every application has its own login story, ignoring the SSO investment the organisation already made.
Subscriptions proliferating, tagging inconsistent, and no clear view of who owns what.
We start with your business problem — the process, the users, the constraints — before naming any technology, including this one.
A clear architecture decision record: where this technology fits, where it doesn't, and what it integrates with.
Small, demonstrable increments on real data. Real users, real feedback, real outcomes — not a proof of concept nobody uses.
Operational metrics, documentation, and a runbook your internal team can operate. We're not a lock-in vendor.
PaaS and serverless-first architecture where it fits, reducing cost and operational load.
Entra ID as the identity backbone, with SSO and role-based access across the estate.
Consistent governance — subscription structure, tagging, and cost allocation your finance team can consume.
Bicep- or Terraform-managed environments, reproducible and audit-friendly.
The default managed compute for most Azure web workloads — auto-scaled, integrated, and cost-efficient.
Kubernetes on Azure where the workload genuinely warrants it, with sensible defaults for networking and identity.
Cosmos DB for globally distributed and document workloads; Azure SQL for relational workloads with a Microsoft footprint.
Reliable messaging and event-driven architecture for platform integration.
Application registrations, SSO, conditional access, and B2C for external users — done properly.
Landing zones, tagging strategy, cost management, and policy — the boring investments that pay back monthly.
A UK organisation wanted a customer portal aligned to its Entra ID and M365 tooling. We built on App Service with Entra External ID (B2C), integrated to SharePoint and Teams for internal collaboration — meeting both the technical and procurement bar without adding a new identity silo.
An organisation had adopted AKS cluster-per-team, with a corresponding cost line. We consolidated to shared clusters with proper namespace isolation, network policy, and cost allocation — halving the compute spend without changing application behaviour.
Vignettes are anonymised composites drawn from engagements and product work. No client names, logos, or performance figures are implied.
Azure where the organisation is Microsoft-standardised (M365, Entra, existing EA). AWS where breadth of services and mature serverless matter most. We work in both.
Bicep for Azure-only estates favouring native tooling; Terraform where multi-cloud or existing Terraform expertise applies.
Adjacent to our Azure work, yes — SharePoint, Teams, Power Platform integration. We're not a licensing partner.
UK South by default; UK West for DR. Both are London-region and suitable for most regulated workloads.
Yes — Azure DevOps or GitHub, pipelines, environments, and documentation handed to your team.
Whether it's a new build, a migration, or an Azure estate that has grown faster than the governance around it — let's have a look.
