Microsoft Azure Cloud Services from Northdoor

Drawing on three decades of experience in complex infrastructure solutions for leading financial services organisations, Northdoor helps clients navigate the journey to cloud and hybrid infrastructure. From initial strategy workshops through to production deployment, our expert consultants and cloud architects work alongside you to determine the optimal platform for each workload, build valid business cases for migration, and establish the foundation for ongoing success.

Getting started with Azure

Whether you’re taking your first steps into Azure or optimising an existing hybrid environment, the path to cloud adoption requires careful planning. Our Azure Starter Kit combines strategic workshops with hands-on proof-of-concept delivery, helping you understand how Microsoft Azure’s infrastructure and platform services can support your specific business requirements.

We help you establish secure connectivity between on-premises and cloud environments, extend your Active Directory infrastructure for seamless single sign-on, and design the networking architecture that balances security, performance and cost.

Understanding what to move

Not every workload belongs in the cloud. Our Cloud Readiness Assessment uses proven methodologies to identify which systems are ideally suited for migration, which should remain on-premises due to technical or regulatory constraints, and what the true cost implications are for your organisation.

This assessment delivers actionable recommendations using a simple traffic-light system, reveals potential cost benefits through detailed TCO analysis, and generates a practical roadmap for your cloud journey. For organisations in regulated sectors, we ensure your cloud strategy addresses compliance requirements including GDPR, DORA and other relevant frameworks.

Building for the future

Once your Azure infrastructure is deployed, ongoing operational excellence becomes critical.
