Unlock Azure's Full Potential with Certified Engineers

A lift-and-shift migration of a monolithic web application typically takes 6–12 weeks depending on database size, third-party integrations, and compliance requirements. Re-architecture work — for example, decomposing a monolith into microservices on AKS — is a 3–6 month engagement. We start every migration with a two-week assessment that produces a detailed migration plan, cost estimate, and risk register before a single resource is provisioned.

Our senior Azure engineers work U.S. business hours from Latin America, making nearshore rates meaningfully lower than U.S.-based hiring while preserving real-time collaboration. A typical three-engineer team (solution architect, backend engineer, DevOps engineer) runs $18,000–$28,000/month depending on seniority mix. We scope projects on a time-and-materials or fixed-scope basis — we recommend discovery before committing to a fixed price for anything beyond a greenfield MVP.

Yes. Our Azure-focused engineers hold AZ-900 (Fundamentals), AZ-204 (Developer Associate), and AZ-305 (Solutions Architect Expert) certifications, and several hold AZ-400 (DevOps Engineer Expert). We maintain certifications actively — Microsoft's annual renewal requirement means our team's credentials reflect current platform knowledge, not a credential earned in a different era of the platform.

Yes. Azure OpenAI Service is one of our most common integration requests. We implement GPT-4o and embedding models behind Azure API Management for rate limiting and cost control, connect them to internal data via Azure AI Search (RAG patterns), and enforce content filtering and audit logging required by enterprise compliance policies. A typical Azure OpenAI integration into an existing SaaS product takes 4–8 weeks, depending on the complexity of the retrieval layer and the number of enterprise data sources involved.

We architect Azure environments for regulated industries using Microsoft's compliance blueprints as a baseline and harden from there. For healthcare, that means HIPAA-compliant data storage (Azure Blob with encryption at rest and in transit, audit logging to Azure Monitor), private networking (no public endpoints for sensitive services), and Business Associate Agreement coverage under the customer's Microsoft agreement. For fintech, we add PCI DSS network segmentation, Azure Defender for Cloud continuous monitoring, and immutable storage for audit trails. We document every control in a compliance matrix your auditor can review.
