Azure Foundation & Governance
Landing Zones, management groups, subscriptions, identity, networking, policy and security as one controlled foundation.

Secure Azure
A governed foundation for your cloud.
Landing zone, identity, networking, governance and cost control as one connected operating model.
The problem
Without a target architecture, every new workload becomes a risk.
A grown Azure environment accumulates cost leaks, security gaps and unclear ownership. Every new workload then builds on a foundation that nobody fully understands any more.
Migration without a landing zone
Resource groups are created by hand, project by project, and tagging and RBAC are inconsistent. A landing zone with policy-driven guardrails makes every new subscription inherit security and cost control.
The bill keeps rising and nobody knows why
The Azure invoice grows every month with no clear driver. We introduce tagging, budgets and rightsizing so cost becomes visible and controllable instead of a monthly surprise.
Governed Azure platform
Four layers build on each other and move into operation after go-live.
- Landing zone & governanceIdentity, network, policy and security as one foundation.
- Migration & modernisationWorkloads moved in a controlled way, Terminal Server retired.
- Application platformsContainer Apps and private networking underneath the workloads.
- FinOps & cost controlRightsizing and reservations with clear cost ownership.
- Ongoing operationThe platform moves into operation after go-live.
From current state to ongoing operation.
Five steps, from the first assessment to the reviews after go-live.
Assess the current state
Existing subscriptions, network, identity and cost are captured and evaluated.
Decide the target architecture
Landing zone, network topology and governance model are shaped to your requirements.
Implement in controlled steps
Infrastructure as Code keeps the environment reproducible and documented. Workloads move in a controlled way where a migration is due.
Anchor governance, security and cost control
Policies, tagging and cost controls are technically enforced, not just recommended.
Operate and optimise
After go-live we keep reviewing cost, security and performance.
Solution areas
Three areas where we build, migrate and govern Azure.
Migration, AVD & Modernisation
Migration to the cloud, modernisation of Terminal Server, RDS and Citrix environments, and application delivery, with cloud workstations and GPU workloads where relevant.
- Cloud migration & datacenter exit
- Azure Virtual Desktop & Windows 365
- Terminal Server / Citrix replacement
Application Platforms & FinOps
Modern Azure platforms for applications and data, connected with cost control. The focus is the secure Azure platform underneath your workloads, not generic data consulting.
- Container Apps & Container Registry
- Private networking & platform architecture
- FinOps, rightsizing & reservations
After delivery
Operation, evidence and a fitting way to start.
Ongoing operation
After go-live, Managed Cloud & Security takes over the day-to-day operation, cost control and further development of your Azure environment.
Managed Cloud & SecurityCustomer outcome
Up to €100k in hardware refresh avoided through an Azure Landing Zone.
