Questions

Microsoft Cloud questions

What does a cloud migration involve?

We plan and run the move from on-premises to Azure and Microsoft 365 end to end — or design a hybrid setup if that suits you better — starting from an Azure landing zone with governance and security baselines built in from day one.

What is an Azure landing zone?

The structured foundation your cloud environment is built on: subscriptions, governance, security and cost controls arranged properly from the start, so growth doesn't turn into sprawl.

What is Intune and why does it matter?

Microsoft's tool for managing company devices remotely. We use it to standardise your devices with endpoint protection, patching and asset management, so hybrid and remote machines stay secure and up to date.

Can you control our cloud costs?

Yes — FinOps practices plus monthly reviews of performance and spend, so you see what you're paying for and optimise as you go.

Do you manage the environment after migration?

Yes. The same in-house Irish team manages it 24/7 with SLA-backed support, real-time dashboards, documented designs and runbooks, change control and monthly optimisation reviews.

Do we have to move everything to the cloud?

No. A hybrid setup — some systems on-premises, some in the cloud — is a fully supported option, designed around what suits your business.
