Capabilities & Practice Areas

Azure Services & Consulting

End-to-end Azure capabilities — from initial cloud strategy through migration, modernization, security, AI enablement, and ongoing cost governance.

Core Practice

1. Cloud & On-Premises to Azure Migration

We plan and execute migrations from on-premises data centers, VMware environments, and other clouds to Azure — minimizing downtime and business disruption.

Assessment —Cloud readiness assessment, workload discovery, and TCO/ROI analysis
Rehost —Lift-and-shift (rehost) migrations for fast time-to-cloud
Database Migration —Database migration to Azure SQL, Azure Database for PostgreSQL/MySQL, and Cosmos DB
VMware/Hyper-V —VMware-to-Azure (Azure VMware Solution [AVS]) and Hyper-V migrations
Landing Zones —Landing zone design aligned to the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF)

2. Azure Deployments & Architecture

We design and deploy secure, scalable Azure environments built for production from day one.

Architecture Design —Well-Architected Framework-aligned solution design
Hybrid Cloud —Hybrid and multi-region deployments with Azure Arc and ExpressRoute
IaC Deployment —Infrastructure-as-Code deployment using Bicep and Terraform
Containers —Container platform deployment on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
DR/BCP —Disaster recovery and business continuity architecture (Azure Site Recovery)

3. Application & Infrastructure Modernization

We help clients move beyond “lift-and-shift” to unlock the full value of the Azure platform.

App Modernization —Legacy application refactoring and re-platforming to PaaS (App Service, Azure Functions)
Microservices —Monolith-to-microservices decomposition and containerization
Legacy Modernization —Mainframe and legacy database modernization
API Modernization —API-first architecture with Azure API Management

4. DevOps & Automation

We build the pipelines and automation that let engineering teams ship faster with fewer errors.

CI/CD —CI/CD pipeline design with Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions
IaC & Config Mgmt —Infrastructure-as-Code and configuration management (Bicep, Terraform, Ansible)
Release Automation —Release automation, blue-green and canary deployment strategies
Observability —Observability with Azure Monitor, Application Insights, and Log Analytics
Zero-Trust

5. Security & Compliance

We secure Azure environments end-to-end and help regulated industries meet their compliance obligations.

Identity & Access —Identity and access management with Microsoft Entra ID
Threat Protection —Threat protection and posture management with Microsoft Defender for Cloud
SIEM/SOC —Security monitoring and SOC enablement with Microsoft Sentinel
Data Governance —Data governance and classification with Microsoft Purview
Compliance —Compliance enablement for HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, GDPR, and ISO 27001
GenAI & Copilot

6. Azure OpenAI & AI/ML Services

We help businesses turn Azure's AI platform into practical, production-grade solutions.

Azure OpenAI Integration —Azure OpenAI Service integration for chat, summarization, and document intelligence
Copilot Deployment —Copilot Studio and Microsoft 365 Copilot deployment and customization
RAG Solutions —Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) solutions with Azure AI Search
MLOps —Custom ML model development and MLOps with Azure Machine Learning
AI Governance —Responsible AI governance and model monitoring

7. Data & Analytics

RI/Savings Plans —Reserved Instance and Savings Plan strategy
Auto-Scaling —Auto-scaling and workload scheduling to eliminate idle spend
FinOps Governance —Ongoing FinOps governance with budgets, tagging, and showback/chargeback reporting

9. Managed Azure Services

Ongoing operations so internal teams can focus on the business, not infrastructure firefighting.

Verified Case Study

Regional Bank Modernizes Core Infrastructure on Azure, Cutting Costs by 38% and Achieving 99.95% Uptime

How Ancrew Global architected a zero-downtime banking migration to Azure with CAF-aligned landing zones, automated DevOps, and Microsoft Sentinel security.

Client Snapshot

Mid-Sized Regional Bank (120+ Branches & 1.2M+ Customers)

A mid-sized regional bank offering retail banking, lending, and digital payment services to 1.2M+ customers. The bank's core banking and customer-facing applications were running on aging on-premises infrastructure with limited scalability and rising maintenance costs.

The Challenge

  • Legacy on-premises data center nearing end-of-life, with hardware refresh costs estimated at $2.4M+
  • Frequent performance degradation during peak transaction periods (month-end, salary days)
  • Manual, error-prone deployment processes causing multi-week release cycles
  • Increasing regulatory pressure to demonstrate robust data security and disaster recovery capability
  • No consolidated visibility into infrastructure costs or usage across business units

The Solution

Ancrew Global partnered with the bank's IT and compliance teams to design and execute a phased migration and modernization program on Azure:

Assessment & Planning —Conducted a full workload discovery and cloud readiness assessment, prioritizing core banking, CRM, and payment-processing systems for migration
Landing Zone —Designed a CAF-aligned landing zone with network segmentation, Azure Firewall, and ExpressRoute connectivity to existing branch networks
Migration & Modernization —Migrated core banking databases to Azure SQL Managed Instance and re-platformed customer-facing applications to Azure App Service
Security —Implemented Microsoft Entra ID for centralized identity, Microsoft Defender for Cloud for threat protection, and Microsoft Sentinel for 24/7 security monitoring
DevOps —Built CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps, cutting release cycles from weeks to days
Disaster Recovery —Configured Azure Site Recovery for cross-region disaster recovery, meeting the bank's regulatory RTO/RPO requirements
Cost Optimization —Established FinOps governance with tagging standards, budgets, and Reserved Instance purchasing to control ongoing spend

“The migration to Azure gave us the resilience and scalability our regulators expect — and the cost predictability our finance team needed. Ancrew Global's team understood banking compliance requirements from day one, which made this the smoothest infrastructure transformation we've run.”
