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.
This is our Azure consultants’ preferred architecture for modern application development in the cloud.
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.
