Our Azure services, from architecture to operations.
The same architects cover Azure, Microsoft 365, identity and security, so your cloud infrastructure fits naturally with the rest of your Microsoft environment.
Azure assessment and architecture
Current-state inventory, target architecture and landing zones: subscriptions, networking, identity, governance and security designed before the first deployment.
Server and application migration
Azure Migrate assessment, wave-based migration (lift-and-shift, then modernization) and hybrid environments with your existing Active Directory.
Our migration methodFinOps and cost optimization
Right-sizing based on real usage, reservations and Savings Plans, automatic shutdown outside production, tagging and budget alerts per service.
High availability and disaster recovery
Azure Backup, replication to a second region and a tested recovery plan, with clear and documented recovery targets.
Azure Virtual Desktop
Virtual desktops and applications in Azure for remote work, shared workstations and business applications that need a controlled environment.
Azure security and governance
Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Azure Policy, just-in-time access and permission reviews, aligned with your Microsoft security program.
Managed Microsoft securityData residency
Your Azure data hosted in Canada or France.
We deploy your resources, backups and recovery plans in the Canada Central and Canada East regions. Canadian residency supports Québec Law 25 compliance and meets the requirements of Québec public organizations.
For our European clients, our Lyon team deploys in the France Central and France South regions, in line with the GDPR.

Azure and FinOps guides.
Field insights on Azure cost optimization and server migration, to prepare your project.
With an assessment: we inventory your servers, applications and their dependencies, then estimate Azure costs and propose a step-by-step roadmap. You know what moves, in which order and for what budget before any commitment.
We build FinOps into the assessment: right-sizing based on real usage, reservations and Savings Plans for steady workloads, automatic shutdown of non-production environments, tagging to track costs per service and budget alerts. Tracking continues after the migration, because the largest savings appear with real usage.
Yes. Azure offers two Canadian regions, Canada Central and Canada East. We configure your resources and backups in these regions, which supports Québec Law 25 compliance and public-sector requirements. For our European clients, the France Central and France South regions play the same role.
Each workload is decided on its usage, costs and constraints. Many organizations keep a hybrid environment: some servers in Azure, others on premises, with unified identity and management. The assessment finds the right balance for you.
Yes. Our Lyon office supports local governments, hospitals and businesses across France and Europe, with data hosted in the French Azure regions.
Your choice. We hand over complete documentation to your teams, or we take on the operation and continuous optimization of your Azure environment through io4 360, our management contract with a bank of hours and weekly follow-up.
