Microsoft Azure integration

Connect cloud services without creating another technology silo.

Practical Azure integration across identity, applications, data and infrastructure, delivered with security, supportability and business continuity in mind.

How we help

Azure designed as part of your complete environment

ITSPLUS helps businesses connect Azure services with Microsoft 365, networks, applications and existing infrastructure. We begin with requirements and dependencies, select appropriate services and document how the environment will be secured, monitored, backed up and supported.

Connected cloud services

Bring Azure identity, applications, data and infrastructure into a coherent supported environment.

Secure foundations

Plan access, administration, networking, monitoring and recovery before production workloads depend on them.

Practical delivery

Scope migrations and integrations around business priorities, technical dependencies and ongoing operating cost.

Begin with the application and business requirement

Azure includes many services, but the correct design starts with what the business needs to run, connect or improve. ITSPLUS identifies users, applications, data, availability expectations, security requirements, integration points and budget constraints before recommending an approach.

Existing Microsoft 365, on-premises systems, internet links, vendors and support responsibilities are considered so the cloud service does not become an isolated platform.

Identity and secure connectivity

Microsoft Entra ID can provide a consistent identity foundation across Microsoft 365 and supported applications. Administrative roles, multi-factor authentication, Conditional Access where licensed and service identities are planned around least privilege.

Azure workloads may connect to offices, data centres, remote users or third-party services. Network design, VPNs, firewall policies, DNS and exposed management interfaces are reviewed as part of the integration rather than after deployment.

Application, data and AI connections

Azure can host applications, integration services, storage, databases and approved AI capabilities. ITSPLUS can help assess and implement appropriately scoped connections, including the Azure components required for a controlled AI pilot.

Custom development depth, service limits, consumption costs and specialist requirements are confirmed during discovery. Where a project requires advanced software engineering, data science or compliance expertise, ITSPLUS can coordinate with an appropriately experienced specialist instead of overstating the available capability.

Operate, monitor and recover

A production service needs clear ownership after launch. Monitoring, alerts, access reviews, backup, recovery, updates, documentation and cost visibility are included in the operating plan. Changes are tested and released through an agreed process.

ITSPLUS can support Azure alongside the customer’s Microsoft 365, cybersecurity, network and managed IT environment, giving the business one team capable of coordinating the wider dependencies.
