Azure Consultancy

Today, both application development and modernisation involve a journey to the cloud – be it hybrid, public or private cloud applications. As an Azure consultancy partner, Ballard Chalmers provides Azure consultancy services that can ultimately result in professional Azure applications that will ensure efficiency and cost savings – literally transforming the way our clients do business.

SOME OF OUR Azure Consultancy ENGAGEMENTS

AZURE SERVERLESS COMPUTING

Back in the day, actual physical Microsoft computers had to be installed and commissioned. This was followed by VMs (virtual machines) which, at the time were a great step forward technologically. VMs, however, still required actual servers which had to be managed and backed up. All of this came at a cost. A cost that has been vastly reduced by the use of Serverless Computing which allows applications to be both developed and deployed without any reference to actual, physical servers.

Our Azure Consulting team can help you with:

  • ASP.NET Web API – Advice and support on the development of REST APIs for web applications and other services.
  • Angular/React Single Page Apps – Advice and support on the development of single page applications (SPA) involving dynamically rewriting the current web page with new data from a server, instead of loading an entirely new page.
  • Azure App Services – Advice and support on building scalable web applications to give the end-user access to the back-end data and logic.
  • Azure Storage – Advice and support on replacing on-premises file shares with scalable and cheap storage in the cloud, opening access to APIs and end-users as needed.
  • Azure SQL Database & Azure Cosmos DB – Providing advice and support on the development of seamless scaling and global replication for your SQL and non-SQL data.
  • Azure Active Directory and Azure B2C – Advice and support on authorising access to your applications and services in the cloud with Microsoft’s best practices in security.

Azure Consultancy Case Studies

Featured Azure case study

Ballard Chalmers was brought in as an Azure outsourcing company, for the implementation of a web-based Business Portal for Good Energy. This portal would allow Business Customers to gain access to their accounts and to self-manage those accounts.

The portal exposes a collection of business applications, each of which will apply to a subset of business customers. The main goal of the platform is to show businesses how the energy generated by local generators is supplied to them throughout the day.

Good Energy

In partnering with Ballard Chalmers, we were able deliver within project timescales what would traditionally have been on-premises Microsoft Biztalk applications as scalable Azure PaaS solutions.

Group Head of IT – EVO Group

 – CEO, Coverwise

Moving our Global ERP System from an on-premises solution to a cloud hybrid solution presented some technical challenges during design and implementation phases. Ballard Chalmers consultants provided the skills and expertise needed to successfully complete the project. We are extremely happy with the end result and the service provided by Ballard Chalmers.

They were very quick to understand our requirements, were able to create a complete test environment within Azure in record fast time, fully understood the the existing connectivity solution into our back end systems and provided further enhancements and ongoing support.
