Our approach

Know the boundaries before you commit.

Before a migration, access change or infrastructure project, agree what is included, when to stop, how the result will be tested and who takes over.

Request an Architecture Briefing

Your protections, agreed before delivery

The scope is clear.

The written scope names the work, the connected systems, what is excluded and who approves it. New work requires a new agreement.

You retain
Scope & decision register

The path back is known.

The change plan defines the pilot, stop conditions and recovery route. If a step cannot be reversed, that limit is explicit before approval.

You retain
Change & recovery plan

The result is proven.

We run the agreed tests, compare the result with the starting records and review outstanding issues. A successful job status alone does not establish completion.

You retain
Validation & exceptions

Ownership is transferred.

A named owner receives the configuration, decisions, operating instructions and agreed support boundaries. Handover is part of the scope.

You retain
Operating Record

Where the work begins

Plan first, or quote the work already defined.

When important dependencies are unknown

A separately scoped plan or review

Review the design, connected systems, capacity needs and cost assumptions before committing to implementation.

Agreed before work begins

An agreed price for a review that sets out the options, recommendations and reasons behind them.

When the target and dependencies are established

Quote and deliver the agreed project

Make the agreed changes with access, responsibilities and work windows arranged in advance.

Agreed before work begins

A written scope, fixed price, exclusions, completion tests and handover instructions.

The initial scope conversation is free. For example, a provider exit with known users and connected services may be quoted directly. A move involving several tenants, unknown archives and unresolved ownership may need separately priced planning first. Your team keeps that plan, including when another provider performs the delivery.

The method behind the protections

Know what was agreed, changed and tested.

Each project records the requirements, design choices, approved changes, test results and operating responsibilities. Expand the method to see what each part covers.

Illustrative decision and delivery model

01
Business
Business & Workload
Core Question
What must the system make possible?
Scope
Business trigger, workload, service requirements, success measures, constraints, and decision ownership.
What you keep: A project brief with measurable requirements and a named sponsor.
02
Data
Data
Core Question
What information must move, remain, and be protected?
Scope
Sources, classification, residency, retention, holds, movement, reconciliation, and recovery.
What you keep: A map of the data in scope, where it can live and the retention and recovery rules it must meet.
03
Platforms
Platforms & Infrastructure
Core Question
Where should workloads run, and what must support them?
Scope
Cloud and private boundaries, compute, virtualization, storage, networks, capacity, resilience, and service dependencies.
What you keep: A proposed system design showing where applications run, capacity estimates and how failures are contained.
04
Identity
Identity & Control
Core Question
Who and what can act across the architecture?
Scope
Human and workload identities, privileged administration, trust, policy, application access, and control ownership.
What you keep: A map of user, administrator and application access, including who approves changes.
05
Transition
Transition & Validation
Core Question
How will change be controlled and the result demonstrated?
Scope
Migration waves, pilots, coexistence, cutover, rollback criteria, reconciliation, exceptions, and acceptance tests.
What you keep: An approved change plan and a record of the tests used to sign off on the result.
06
Operations
Operations, Economics & Evidence
Core Question
Who owns the result, its cost, and its continuing evidence?
Scope
Runbooks, observability, recovery responsibilities, lifecycle cost, commercial obligations, decision records, and handoff.
What you keep: Operating instructions, cost assumptions, test records and named support responsibilities.

Working responsibilities

The right people stay close to the decisions.

Your sponsor approves the scope and spending. Your technical owner or project manager coordinates access, connected systems and test reviews. AZ Innovations is responsible for the technical work agreed in the proposal.

Delivery windows are agreed

The proposal names scheduled work and change windows, response expectations, the client’s operating owner and any limited post-handover support. Evening or weekend work can be arranged subject to availability.

Access is authorised

Access is requested in writing, restricted to the approved scope, protected with multifactor authentication and removed at handover.

Changes have an approval path

New dependencies and scope changes are recorded with their effect on price, timing and acceptance. Affected work proceeds after approval.

Production change has a recovery path

Pilots, waves, change windows and rollback criteria are established before production changes are enforced.

Your team keeps the operating instructions

Your named owner receives the design decisions, test results, open issues, runbooks and confirmation that our access has been removed.
