Engagement
Co-managed or fully managed

We move workloads to the cloud without the surprises – landing zones, migration waves, and managed operations delivered by named senior engineers.

Azure-first, never Azure-only: where your estate spans AWS or Google Cloud, we operate it as one platform, with cost guardrails and infrastructure-as-code throughout.

02 / Capabilities

What's inside the practice

Each capability is a sub-service we scope, deliver, and operate, with the engineering specifics, not brochure lines.

Landing zones

Landing zones

Secure, compliant foundations aligned to the Cloud Adoption Framework – built as code, not clicks.

CAF, Policy, Hub-spoke
Migration & modernization

Migration & modernization

Assessment-led migration waves for VMs, databases, and apps, with rollback paths at every step.

Azure Migrate, Waves, Rollback
FinOps & cost control

FinOps & cost control

Continuous right-sizing, reservations, and showback so spend stays visible and predictable.

Tagging, Reservations, Right-sizing
Managed operations

Managed operations

24×7 monitoring, patching, and incident response with named owners and clear SLAs.

24×7 NOC, Patching, SLAs

Landing zone
Management groups, Subscriptions, Policy & RBAC
Network

04 / Technology

Vendor-agnostic by design

We hold deep Microsoft specializations, and we are deliberately multi-vendor. We pick the platform and tooling that fit your outcome, your team, and your constraints, never a single badge.

The stack below is representative; we work with what you already run, and tell you plainly when something should change.

Clouds
Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud
Infrastructure as code
Bicep, Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi
Containers & runtime
Kubernetes (AKS), Docker, Helm
DevOps & operations
GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Azure Monitor, Grafana
05 / Engineering standards

We go deep, on purpose

Whatever the practice, the same engineering discipline holds. These are the commitments behind every BITSUMMIT delivery.

Infrastructure as code

Infrastructure as code

Every environment is reproducible: Bicep, Terraform, and Git, never console clicks.

Observability by default

Observability by default

Dashboards, alerts, and SLOs wired in before go-live, not after the first incident.

Security baselines

Security baselines

CIS and Microsoft baselines applied as policy, with drift detection and remediation.

Tested recovery

Tested recovery

Backups and failover are proven on a schedule, with named owners and runbooks.

Documented and yours

Documented and yours

Architecture decision records and runbooks you own: no black boxes, no lock-in.

FinOps discipline

FinOps discipline

Cost is a first-class metric: budgets, tagging, and right-sizing from day one.

Standards & frameworks

Built to the standards your auditors check

We build to the standards your auditors, insurers, and regulators actually check – and keep the evidence current between audits.

Cloud Adoption Framework

Landing zones are built to Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework - secure, compliant foundations delivered as code with policy guardrails, not console clicks.

Migration with rollback paths

Assessment-led migration waves for VMs, databases, and apps, with tested cutovers and a rollback path at every step.

Cost governance from day one

Tagging, budgets, reservations, and right-sizing built in from the first invoice, with showback your finance team can read.

Delivery standards

Client environments are delivered to SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PROTECTED B standards, with controls explained in plain terms your auditors can follow.

09 / FAQ

Questions we hear

Can you meet regulated-environment requirements?

Yes. Client environments are delivered to SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PROTECTED B standards, with controls explained in terms your auditors can follow.

What happens after the migration?

Either a clean handover with documentation and knowledge transfer, or 24×7 managed operations with named engineers and a contractual 15-minute P1 response.

Do you support AWS and Google Cloud too?

Yes. We're Azure-first, never Azure-only - certified engineers across all three clouds, operated as one platform with the same cost guardrails.

How do you de-risk a migration?

Assessment-led waves with tested cutovers and a rollback path at every step - workloads move in controlled groups, not big-bang weekends.

How fast can we see savings?

Quick wins from right-sizing and reservations typically land in the first 30-60 days, measured and reported transparently.

Can you work with our existing cloud team?

Yes. We operate co-managed or fully-managed, with clear RACI so your team keeps the control it wants.
