What are Azure managed services?

Azure managed services are when a specialist partner takes day-to-day responsibility for your Microsoft Azure environment: the architecture, the identities, the workloads, the backup and the bills. Instead of your team firefighting the portal, Managed247 monitors, patches, secures and optimises the platform around the clock, with Azure support from UK engineers whenever you need it.

  • Identity and security: Entra ID, conditional access and security baselines aligned to ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus.
  • Backup and resilience: protected workloads, tested recovery and clear RPO and RTO targets.

Azure cost optimisation and FinOps

Azure bills creep when nobody owns them. Our Azure cost optimisation work runs continuously: rightsizing compute, tuning storage, applying reservations and savings plans, and reporting the savings in plain English. For organisations that want full financial governance across platforms, our FinOps and cloud cost optimisation service extends the same discipline across Azure, AWS and Google Cloud.

  • What are Azure managed services?

    They are when a specialist partner designs, runs and optimises your Microsoft Azure environment for you: monitoring, patching, identity, security, backup and cost management, with one point of accountability.

  • What is included in your Azure managed service?

    Architecture and migration, 24/7 monitoring and management from our UK service desk, identity and security, backup and resilience, and continuous Azure cost optimisation with clear reporting.

  • Can you reduce our Azure costs?

    Yes, in most environments we find material savings. We rightsize workloads, apply reservations and savings plans, remove waste and put budgets and alerts in place. Our FinOps service makes this a continuous discipline rather than a one-off exercise.
