You receive an expert benchmark, clear priorities and a practical action plan for technical and business teams.

Each Health Check combines specialist depth with a connected view of the environment around it.

Create trusted reporting on a well-governed data foundation.
We assess architecture, Fabric and Azure, Power BI governance, semantic models and ownership from source to report.
DevOps Health Check
Make Azure delivery repeatable, secure and ready to scale.
We assess the Azure foundation, landing zones, Infrastructure as Code, pipelines, security and FinOps against Microsoft best practice.
Not sure where you stand? Take the free SQL Server self-assessment first. Nine questions, about ninety seconds, your result on screen, and no email needed.
From evidence to action in four focused steps
The Health Check moves quickly while giving leadership and technical teams a shared, evidence-based view.
Connect and understand
We combine an automated, read-only environment scan with a focused workshop involving the people closest to the platform.
Benchmark the environment
Our specialists compare the evidence with Microsoft best practice, including the Azure Well-Architected Framework, and the operating reality of your organisation.
Set the priorities
We turn the findings into a clear action plan for near-term work, planned improvements and future investment.
Present and hand over
We walk technical and business teams through the findings and agree the first steps together.
