Questions We Hear Every Week

Managed service plans typically start around AU$2,500 per month for small environments and scale with the size and criticality of your estate. After a free assessment you get a fixed monthly price, and cost savings we find usually offset a large part of the fee.
Yes. We deploy to Azure Australia East (Sydney) and Australia Southeast (Melbourne) by default, with data-residency controls and geo-replication kept onshore unless you direct otherwise.
Absolutely. Most of our engagements start with an environment someone else built. We audit it, fix the urgent risks, document everything, and take over operations without downtime.
Our standard SLA covers 24/7 monitoring with a 15-minute response for critical (P1) incidents, 1-hour for P2, and same-business-day for standard requests, backed by monthly uptime and performance reporting.
Yes. We manage hybrid estates with Azure Arc, ExpressRoute and site-to-site VPN connectivity, and can operate alongside AWS or on-premises infrastructure where consolidation is not practical.
We run a read-only review of your subscriptions covering architecture, security posture, spend, and reliability. You get a written report with prioritised recommendations within a week, yours to keep whether or not you engage us.
We align environments to the ACSC Essential Eight, follow ISO 27001 practices, and configure Azure Policy guardrails for data residency and access control, with evidence packs your auditors can use.
