Cloud Architecture
Cloud Architecture
Design the foundation before you build on it. Identity, network, governance and security foundations, adapted to how your organisation works.
Our Cloud Architecture Service
Our Cloud Architecture Service gives you a secure, scalable and well-governed foundation across public, private and hybrid cloud environments, making it easier to migrate workloads, manage costs and support future growth. We design the architecture around how your organisation needs to operate, covering identity, network segmentation, governance, security and cost allocation before workloads move.
Built around Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework and Well-Architected Framework, the architecture is shaped by your requirements and the workloads it needs to support. Establishing these decisions early reduces complexity later and gives you a clear, practical blueprint for migration and ongoing cloud management.
Benefits of Cloud Architecture
-
01
Framework-led, experience-shaped
We lean on Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework and Well-Architected Framework, then adapt them using what we have learned running regulated environments for 25 years.
-
02
The design informs the migration
Architecture defines the target environment migration moves into. We do both, so nothing is lost between design and execution.
-
03
Existing environments can be fixed
If you already have workloads in Azure that grew without a proper foundation, that environment can be reviewed and re-architected rather than rebuilt from scratch.
-
04
Well-Architected Reviews
We can assess an existing environment against Microsoft’s Well-Architected Framework and give you a prioritised view of where it diverges.

No. An existing environment can be reviewed and re-architected to landing zone standards.
The identity, network, governance and security foundation a cloud environment is built on, established before workloads move onto it.
It varies with scale. For a large organisation, architecture work can run over several months as an engagement in its own right.
