Managed Azure FAQs.
How do I choose an Azure managed services provider in Australia?
Start by confirming the provider specialises in Azure (not “all clouds”), then ask how they deliver cost optimisation, governance and day-to-day operations. A strong Azure managed services provider should show clear frameworks, transparent reporting and local engineering support, not just a helpdesk.
What should I expect from a managed Azure services provider day to day?
You should expect proactive monitoring, change support and regular optimisation activity, not just reactive ticket handling. The goal of managed Azure services is to keep your environment predictable and efficient as Azure changes, while freeing your team to focus on higher-value work.
How can I reduce Azure costs without changing providers?
You don’t need to leave Azure to bring your cloud spend under control. Most overspend comes from mis-sized resources, unused services, configuration drift or scaling settings that were never revisited. With the right guardrails and continuous optimisation, Azure can run far more efficiently.
As an Azure Expert MSP, we review your current set-up, highlight where money is being wasted and tune your environment so it performs well without unnecessary cost. Customers typically see around 26% savings simply by getting Azure into better shape.
What’s the difference between the Cloud Adoption Framework and the Well-Architected Framework?
The Cloud Adoption Framework guides how you design and adopt Azure in a structured way (including foundations and governance). Microsoft’s Well-Architected Framework is used to continually assess and improve the environment across areas like reliability, security, performance and cost as your workloads evolve.
Do you provide cloud consulting services as well as managed services?
Yes. Our cloud consulting services sit alongside delivery so you can make confident decisions about what to modernise, what to migrate and what to optimise next. It’s practical guidance tied to your environment and business priorities.
Can you help if we want to optimise Azure, not migrate?
Yes. If you’re already in Azure, the fastest wins often come from rightsizing, cleaning up drift, strengthening governance and tightening cost controls. That’s exactly what our assessment-led approach is designed to identify, then put into practice through ongoing optimisation.
Do you offer cloud migration services for organisations moving into Azure?
Yes. Our cloud migration services are designed to move workloads into Azure without friction when hardware changes, licensing pressure or audit requirements create urgency. We support the migration end-to-end and help you land in a well-governed Azure foundation, so you don’t inherit technical debt.
What is Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework and how does it affect my Azure environment?
Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework is a best-practice model for planning, building and governing Azure. In practical terms, it shapes how landing zones, identity, policy and operations are designed so your Azure environment is structured from day one, not patched together over time.
How fast can you onboard us to managed Azure services?
Onboarding speed for any managed cloud services depends on what you already have in place and how complex your environment is. The key is that onboarding should be structured: confirm objectives, assess the current state, establish governance baselines, then transition operations in a controlled way so there’s no disruption while handing over.
What questions should I ask when comparing managed Azure providers?
Ask how they:
– report and deliver ongoing cost optimisation (not a one-off review)
– apply governance and secure-by-design controls across subscriptions
– handle incidents, response times and escalation paths
– support change requests and operational work without nickel-and-diming
These questions quickly separate true managed cloud services from basic monitoring.
What does “zero migration fees” actually mean?
It means you can move workloads into Azure without additional migration or professional services fees attached to the project. This lets you focus on getting the environment stable, secure and cost-efficient once you arrive.
What support model do you provide once we’re live?
You’ll have access to Australian-based engineers, clear response expectations and continuity of knowledge across your environment. Managed Azure services work best when support is not anonymous – you want a partner that understands your set-up and stays accountable for outcomes over time.
