Cloud landing zone
A controlled Azure starting point — sign-in, network, spending limits, day-to-day operations — agreed once so every team builds on the same rails.
The Azure foundation everything else runs on — how people sign in, how the network connects, how spending is controlled, how the cloud links back to the data centre. Most cost surprises, security findings on a cloud build-out, and "we need to leave VMware" conversations sit here.
The standard conversations most organisations have within this domain.
A controlled Azure starting point — sign-in, network, spending limits, day-to-day operations — agreed once so every team builds on the same rails.
A steady, predictable connection between the customer's own sites and Azure, for production work that can't tolerate a wobbly link.
The big moves: leaving VMware, retiring a mainframe, lifting old applications onto the cloud. These are the conversations that put cloud strategy on the board agenda.
Backup, disaster recovery, how long the business can be down and how much data it can afford to lose, multi-region resilience — what survives when something fails.
The modern employee laptop and phone setup — physical desktops, virtual desktops, Windows 365 cloud PCs, and the Intune management layer that secures all of them.
Where the conversation needs custom adaptations — regulated, hybrid, or high-stakes.
For customers where data location, who-can-touch-the-data, or industry regulators demand a stricter cloud setup than the standard one.
A ready-made set of development environments and tools — cloud-hosted workstations, version control, an automated build pipeline — so engineers spend their time writing code, not configuring machines.
Kubernetes — the way modern applications are run — adopted as a managed standard so the security, networking, and cost story is set before clusters multiply.
