Whether you are at the start of your cloud journey, or need support to take full advantage of Azure, our experts are on hand to help.  Contact us for more information.

Azure Experts From Planning to Support

igroup have been delivering cloud management services to our clients since the launch of Microsoft Azure.  We developed from a SharePoint specialist creating tailored cloud hosting for SharePoint through to providing fully bespoke solutions that help businesses improve their efficiency and the reliability of their applications.

Our Azure Experts work with clients to understand their needs before developing a roadmap that helps them achieve their goals.

Unlike traditional hosting companies that offer a one size fits all approach to the cloud, we pride ourselves on developing solutions that precisely meet our clients’ needs.

Our approach also includes ongoing support.  We understand that once you have migrated services to the cloud, your needs will evolve.  As such, we provide a full monitoring suite that our Azure Experts regularly review to ensure that you have the capacity that your business needs without any additional costs.

Our Azure Services

igroup’s Azure Experts work with businesses at all stages of Azure Adoption cycle.

We provide development and consultancy services to companies who are planning the first stages of a digital transformation through to those with existing systems in place who want to take advantage of new services and expand on their existing usage.

Our approach is fully tailored to both the needs and skills available within client organisations.  From simple monitoring and maintenance of a suite of Virtual Machines through to a fully managed cloud solution that grows and evolves over time.

Microsoft Azure offers vital benefits for businesses including greater stability and availability of applications.  We enhance this with improved security and cost management software that ensures you never pay more than you need to.  Contact us to find out more about how we can help.

A Typical Azure Engagement

Fact Finding & Discovery

The first step in any client relationship with igroup is a comprehensive initial fact finding meeting in which our Azure Experts will determine what the precise needs of your business are when moving to either Azure as a platform, or igroup as a service provider.

We work with your existing infrastructure to understand how you currently manage application or data hosting.  We use this information to build a full picture of where Azure can help you reach your goals.

Planning Process

igroup’s Azure Experts have worked with clients of all sizes to plan cloud solutions.  We have delivered projects that range from backup or data hosting through to full digital transformations and virtualisations of complex infrastructure and contributed to the development of bespoke applications to help them take full advantage of Azure vs traditional infrastructure.

Migrating to Azure

Once the architecture for your solution has been deployed into the Microsoft Data Centres by our technical team, we will guide you through the full process of migrating your applications and data to the cloud.  This will involve full testing throughout the process to ensure that everything works as it should.

Ongoing Azure Support

Over time, your needs may change, and our Azure Experts are on hand to support you.  We provide full cloud support to our clients that ranges from day to day management of infrastructure including security monitoring and OS patches through to full performance analysis and cost optimisation.

Our IT Cost Control software was developed in house and works to manage your deployment in real time, reducing capacity when it is not needed, and increasing resource when it is.  IT Cost Control means that you only pay for the services that you use – our clients save up to 30% compared to an unmanaged Azure environment.
