At Content+Cloud, we can guide you in the ongoing improvement of your app and platform performance. We’ll ensure Azure delivers its maximum potential for your organisation and your end users alike.

The impact of Azure app monitoring, optimisation and governance

Cloud platforms such as Azure open up endless possibilities for organisations looking to deliver modern services. Azure allows innovation at scale and speed, flexibility in cost and resource, and excellent user experiences across all devices and locations.

To realise ongoing value from Azure, however, needs constant attention – which is where many come unstuck. You may not have the capacity to monitor how your apps are performing, or to ensure governance is being followed across multiple teams. You may even be paying more each month for Azure resources than you need to.

At Content+Cloud we offer Azure app monitoring, optimisation and governance services that will give you the full picture on your performance. As a leading Microsoft Partner delivering a 24/7 global managed service, we’ll take the effort out of monitoring Azure and give you the direction you need to continue getting get the maximum benefits from the platform.

Azure app optimisation

As technologies evolve and user expectations change, the performance of your apps may be affected. Reduced availability, reliability or speed can all have a negative impact on your users.

Azure app optimisation services from Content+Cloud ensure you can improve app performance, increase user satisfaction and maximise the value your cloud services deliver.

We’ll help you analyse usage and adoption of your Azure apps so that you know how and where to optimise. We can also help with modernising your older apps so that they’re built in the cloud, ensuring they’re easier to maintain, upgrade and scale with minimal impact on the end user.

Azure cost optimisation

It’s often said that moving to Azure will save you money compared to your legacy services – but with so many resources available, it’s easy to lose control of costs. Our Azure cost optimisation services can help you make this transition, freeing up resources for higher-value services and innovation. We’ll work with you to understand your consumption and guide you on where you can make savings.

Examples of our Azure cost optimisation strategies include:

  • Cost management tools to create Azure budgets, forecasts and spending alerts
  • Workload monitoring and automation to ensure right-sizing of virtual machines and storage tiers
  • Leveraging of cost-saving opportunities such as Azure Hybrid Usage Benefit or Reserved Instances of virtual machines in Azure

Azure cloud governance

A key benefit of Azure is its capacity to offer scalability and flexibility, underpinned by Microsoft’s security standards. But managing services across such a vast environment requires robust standards of governance.

Our approach to Azure cloud governance ensures that your teams adhere to the standards you’ve set, meeting compliance requirements and aligning with your organisational and technology strategies.
