Cloud Infrastructure
The three key traits of a cloud platform are reliability, cost-efficiency, and flexibility. All major cloud providers promise these, but getting the full value takes work.
We build growth-ready enterprise clouds on Microsoft Azure.
Cloud infrastructure - Where to start and what to do?
-
Clarify Your Cloud Strategy
Which functions do you want in the cloud? How will local solutions connect to it? Will applications be modernized during migration, or simply moved as-is? How will cloud efficiency be monitored and measured? A solid cloud strategy addresses these questions and more.
-
Increase Automation
When a user needs a cloud resource — like a database or virtual server — they should be able to access it through self-service. Automation turns cloud flexibility into safe, everyday operations.
-
Plan the Migration Carefully
With the Finnish data center opening in 2027, cloud migration is back on the table. Plan the transition at least a year in advance and take advantage of free resources like Microsoft’s Migration Factory.
-
Ensure Installation Quality
Cloud application installations must be fully automated, with a clear record of what was installed, when, and by whom. Quality DevOps practices handle this seamlessly.
What should I know about cloud infrastructure?

Microsoft Migration Factory
A support service that helps eligible Azure customers move to the cloud cost-effectively. As a partner, we connect clients with Microsoft for a seamless transition.

Platform Operations Supports Broad Cloud Usage
DevOps is a project-level automation practice. Platform Ops, on the other hand, develops operations across the entire organization, supporting project-specific DevOps work. Both are worth the investment.
Our tools
At the core of our cloud work is Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework - a trusted, widely used set of best practices for cloud management. At the application level, we rely on the Well-Architected Framework. These vendor-neutral models ensure our work is fit for multi-vendor environments, serving as a solid foundation for others to build on.
For service management, we use tools like Terraform and Bicep.
