What To Look For In An Azure Partner 

Microsoft Azure is a leading provider of a global cloud platform. With a growing number of integrated cloud services, it is the ideal complete solution for businesses looking to improve productivity, increase their efficiency, and enhance their flexibility. Customers can enjoy a range of benefits such as cost savings, scalability, security, resiliency, availability and increased productivity. To get the most out of your Azure Cloud Technologies investment, it is important to find the right Azure partner 

The right partner for your business aligns with your goals, understands your industry, and can offer the right expertise and services to help you make the most out of Microsoft Azure.

Here are some factors to consider when choosing the right Partner:

  • Expertise and certifications

    Looking for a partner with specific Azure competencies indicates their expertise and experience in a multitude of different areas surrounding Azure like Infrastructure, AI, Data or Security. Microsoft awards these competencies to partners who meet high standards of performance.  These standards are assessed regularly to ensure that the high standards are maintained. 

  • Experience and industry knowledge

    A proven track record of delivering successful Azure projects in your industry demonstrates an Azure partner’s capabilities in deploying Azure solutions that match your business needs. Industry knowledge can be a major advantage as certain sectors such as healthcare or manufacturing require an understanding of particular challenges and compliance needs.

  • Security and compliance knowledge

    Although Azure’s security features are robust, a good partner will ensure that they are configured properly to give effect to its functionality. For regulated industries such as healthcare and finance, the partner must have a strong understanding and extensive experience handling compliance frameworks and regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS and SOC 2. This way, the Azure solutions will be designed, configured and implemented to meet these requirements.    

  • Support availability

    A good partner provides reliable support options and has 24/7, 365 access to technical support if your business needs it. This is particularly important if your company operates 24/7 such as in retail, logistics and manufacturing or if your infrastructure is key to delivering essential services such as healthcare, payment systems or blue-light.

Our approach as your Azure partner is threefold:  

Firstly, we are looking to be a transformation partner. We understand that you may already be working to deliver strategic goals in your organisation and we want to help you achieve these goals through the use of technology. Alternatively, if you are looking for a partner to help you to define this strategy in more detail we can help guide and shape these strategies through our extensive knowledge and experience of transforming customers across a range of sectors.

We regularly review your journey with us to ensure that we are continuing to add value and that your strategic goals are being met, and we help realign our relationship as these strategic aims develop and evolve as your organisation does. 

We have often seen most challenges before so we can draw on our wealth of expertise when delivering solutions to your problems, whilst ensuring that this is tailored to deliver the outcomes your business is seeking.

Secondly, we can provide a full assessment of your current environment, if you are already in Azure to ensure this meets best practice and is aligned to the Cloud Adoption and Well Architected Frameworks.  We can assess it from a security perspective to ensure that your organisation is reassured that your environment security is robust and that your workloads and data are protected.  We can also assess against industry standards such as ISO27001, CIS, SOC and Cyber Essentials.  We can also offer recommendations and remediation plans for resolving any non-compliant configuration. 

Thirdly, we prioritise confidence and trust in our customer relationships. Working with BCN as your Managed Azure Service provider guarantees a trusted and experienced partner who will manage your cloud infrastructure for you while you focus on your business operations.
