Azure Cloud Services

Build a Cloud Foundation for the Applications Your Business Needs⁠.

Host applications, connect systems and add selected data or AI services on Azure. We design the cloud solution around the workload, access model, operating requirements and cost you need to manage.

Choose Cloud Services Around the Required Workload.

Azure is a service portfolio. We select and configure the components the application needs instead of treating the platform as one product.

Application Hosting

Use the appropriate managed web, function or container hosting approach for the workload.

Integration Services

Connect APIs, events and asynchronous work using selected integration components.

Data and Storage

Choose structured data, object storage and retention approaches around the application requirements.

Identity and Access

Configure Microsoft Entra or the appropriate customer identity approach and service permissions.

Operational Controls

Add secrets management, monitoring, backup and recovery appropriate to the chosen architecture.

Deployment and Scaling

Define environments, automated delivery and the resource configuration needed for expected demand.

Put AI to Work in Clearly Defined Tasks.

Choose a useful role for AI, then define the information, access and review needed for that role.

Grounded Business Assistance

Use Microsoft Foundry and search services to build answers over approved business sources. Evaluate retrieval, answer quality and source access.

Document Understanding

Use supported document or content-understanding services to propose structured fields. Check business validity and route uncertain results for review.

Tools and Specialised Models

Connect approved model and agent tools or a specialised prediction service when the workload needs them. Define costs, latency and measurable acceptance criteria.

Connect the Product to Modern Business Experiences.

Combine the agreed product configuration with the systems and development that make the complete experience work.

Self-Service

Customer & Partner Self‑Service

Give customers, suppliers and partners one place to submit requests, access documents and track progress. Connect the experience to your business systems so your team spends less time answering status enquiries and re-entering information.

Digital Product

SaaS & Subscription Platforms

Turn your service into an online product that customers can join, subscribe to and manage themselves. Build the cloud foundation for account creation, subscription changes and access to the services they have purchased.

Modernisation

Modernise Your Platform for New Business Services

Extend an existing application with the online services your customers and teams need. Move suitable workloads to Azure and introduce APIs so the platform can support new portals, mobile apps and connected processes.

See How the Process Connects.

Choose an example to see the work, decision, handover and completion point.

From a Verified External Event to a Safe Business Update

Follow the work through the decision, handover and confirmed result.

Illustrative Solution
  1. 01

    Accept the Event

    Authenticate or validate the provider message at the integration boundary.

  2. 02

    Persist the Work

    Store the processing reference and detect previously handled events.

  3. 03

    Apply the Update

    Call the allowed business action and record the result.

  4. 04

    Recover Exceptions

    Retry safely or route unresolved events to the accountable owner.

Product or Platform FoundationSelected Azure hosting, event processing, storage and monitoring.
Connected or Configured Alongside ItProvider contracts, source-system APIs and business-state transition rules.

Measures to Agree

Processing Success

Valid events completing the intended update.

Recovery Time

Time to resolve an interrupted business handover.

Duplicate Prevention

Repeated events handled without repeated actions.

Backlog Age

Time unresolved events remain in the exception queue.

Connect the Experience to the Systems Behind It.

Use the application that owns each record and make the handover between systems explicit.

Start with One Useful Process. Build from an Agreed Foundation.

Agree the business outcome, prepare the foundation and validate the complete experience before expanding it.

Agree the Outcome

Choose the first process, its owner, completion criteria and baseline measures.

Prepare the Foundation

Workload requirements, regional availability, identity, operational targets, recovery needs and resource ownership determine the architecture.

Build and Connect

Configure or develop the agreed experience, permissions and system handovers.

Test and Launch

Check realistic data, permissions, exceptions and confirmed outcomes. Prepare the team for a controlled launch.

Measure and Improve

Review source-confirmed results, operational issues and adoption before extending the next use case.

Understand the Offering. Plan the Right Scope.

The starting point depends on the process and the systems you already use.

Does using Azure determine the whole architecture?

No. Hosting, data, integration and AI services are selected around the workload. We assess expected demand, regions, identity, availability and operating cost before choosing the service mix.

Which AI capabilities should be included first?

Start with a specific task and the evidence needed to evaluate it. We check current feature status, environment prerequisites, data quality, permissions and cost. Preview capabilities are assessed separately from the agreed production scope.

Are these use cases included as standard?

The examples describe configured or custom solutions. The feature cards explain the product or delivery foundation; each use case and process identifies the connections, development and related services it needs.

What do we need to define before starting?

Workload requirements, regional availability, identity, operational targets, recovery needs and resource ownership determine the architecture. We also agree ownership, acceptance criteria, operating responsibility and the first measurable outcome.
