We provide a range of integrated consulting services in support of Microsoft Cloud technologies and platforms
We’ll help you assess, plan and adopt
Our consulting services are designed to help an organisation conceive, plan and gain the necessary investment and organisational adoption of Public and/or Hybrid cloud IT delivery models.
The CoreAzure cloud consultancy services compare and contrast the benefits of public cloud technologies with more traditional delivery paradigms including private cloud scenarios which, when combined with a mature approach to the management of risk, financial re-profiling and a well-constructed benefits delivery plan, produces a highly compelling business and management case for cloud adoption.

Prior to making any formal commitments to proceed, our recommendations and approaches are fully and formally socialised with stakeholders
Our understanding of requirements and unique organisational and IT characteristics are always tested
Knowledge and skills transfer is always incorporated into everything we do
Prior to forming design recommendations, we always consider a full range of options including a formal consideration of costs and benefits to ensure that we future-proof solutions and maximise value for money

Reduce costs and increase capability

Contrast and compare benefits
Our specialists are able to contrast and compare the benefits of public cloud technologies with more traditional delivery paradigms including private cloud scenarios which, when combined with a mature approach to the management of risk, financial re-profiling and a well-constructed benefits delivery plan, produces a highly compelling business and management case for cloud adoption.
Strategy and planning
Strategic planning services including Cloud readiness assessments; Cloud adoption and implementation strategies; sourcing models, design and implementation / transition planning.
Information assurance
Working with organisations to objectively assess the risks associated with Cloud delivery models and to help overcome any unnecessary resistance based upon an incorrect understanding or interpretation of organisational and/or HMG policies and standards. CoreAzure clearly and unambiguously define the ways in which organisations can architect infrastructure and design information security controls to maintain compliance with current and anticipated information security obligations.
Adoption
A range of integrated consultancy services designed to leverage the organisational and personal productivity of Microsoft Cloud technologies and platforms. Our experience is that many organisations fail to capitalise on their Microsoft investments and licensed technology options. Typically, the areas of focus on adoption and increased consumption include Microsoft Office Enterprise 365 E5 which incorporates unified communications into the standard Microsoft Office productivity platform.
