Modernise the Azure environment that grew project by project — into one that's governed, predictable on cost, and engineered to carry the next decade.
Why this matters
Most mid-market Azure environments grew one project at a time. There is no landing zone, no governance baseline, and no shared model for networking, identity or cost. Every new initiative pays for the absence — in hidden spend, in migration friction, and in security exposure.
We modernise the environment around a defensible target architecture: a landing zone, governance guardrails, and a migration path scoped to your workload reality — not a textbook reference design.
What it includes
Azure landing zone aligned to Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework, scoped to your subscription topology and operating model.
Hub-and-spoke design, ExpressRoute or VPN sizing, segmentation, and DNS strategy.
Policy-as-code, tagging strategy, RBAC model, and management group hierarchy.
Application portfolio assessed against the 6Rs — rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retire, retain.
Wave-planned migration with cutover support, rollback design and dependency mapping.
Cost visibility, tagging, reservation strategy and chargeback instrumented — handed to internal finance and IT as an operating practice, not a one-time report.
Engagement sequence
Current Azure estate documented and assessed against the target reference architecture.
Landing zone, network and governance designed and signed off.
Landing zone, guardrails and connectivity delivered. Pilot workload migrated.
Workloads migrated in scoped waves with cutover, validation and FinOps handover.
Outcomes
FinOps instrumented — tagging, reservations and chargeback in place. Variance against forecast typically inside 10%.
Landing zone, guardrails and connectivity engineered for AI, data and M365 workloads sitting on top.
Policy-as-code and operating model handed to internal IT — not retained as ongoing managed service.
Before you start here
Modernisation moves quickly only if the underlying readiness review has been completed. If you have not had an AI-Ready Architecture Review, start with a Readiness Conversation — we can scope both in sequence.

The next step
Forty-five minutes with a senior architect. We'll ask about your Azure topology, governance posture and migration ambitions — and tell you honestly where to start.
