Azure migration operated under measurable commitments.
Transform your business with our cloud computing solutions. Increase efficiency and reduce costs with our expert consulting.
We design, migrate, and operate your infrastructure on Microsoft Azure. Everything is deployed in your subscription, with your identity and your keys, and as a Microsoft partner we bill your consumption in pesos.

Measurable commitments.
The figures the service stands behind, and where each one comes from.
- 60% — Lower cost than pay-as-you-go pricing, with Hybrid Benefit and reserved instances
- 99,5% — Monthly virtual machine availability, the contractual target of the managed service
- 30min — Committed response time for critical incidents, with coverage seven days a week
- 17 — Production environments under management
What we do on your platform.
Design, operations, cost, and continuity. The four things you decide to contract once your platform stops being a project.
- Design and migration — Discovery of applications and dependencies, landing zone design covering networking, identity, security, and cost, and wave-based migration with cutover windows and a rollback plan.
- Managed operations — Monitoring seven days a week with automatic ticketing, a formal patching cycle with advance notice and a rollback plan, backup management with quarterly restore testing, and a ten-section monthly report.
- Consumption optimization — Azure Hybrid Benefit, reserved instances purchased in staggered tranches, and rightsizing by machine and disk type, with quarterly analysis and a six-month projection.
- Continuity and backup — Architectures with a synchronized replica, separate backups for the operating system, application, and data, and a documented restore test every quarter.
Additional services.
How the service grows and how it's governed, written down before you need it.
- Scale without renegotiating — The model is defined per unit, so adding a new environment updates the inventory instead of reopening the contract.
- Service governance — A monthly operations committee, a quarterly service review with capacity trends, a change committee as needed, and an annual strategic review.
How we come in: three stages.
From assessment to operations, with a fixed scope and price before you sign.
- Assessment — An inventory of applications and dependencies, a cost and security baseline, and the target architecture. This is where the scope and the price come from, not an estimate.
- Enablement — Monitoring deployment, configuration of patching and backup windows, runbooks, and stabilization. Formal commitments take effect with the signed kickoff record.
- Operations — Support with committed response times and automatic escalation, consumption optimization, and a ten-section monthly report with an action plan.
What comes with the platform.
Six architecture decisions that are made once and pay off every month.
- Right-sized virtual machines — Compute sized to each role, with Premium SSD and Premium SSD v2 disks based on the operations per second the workload needs.
- Databases with continuity — Architectures with a synchronized replica so that a database engine failure doesn't stop operations.
- Hybrid infrastructure — Sensitive workloads on your premises connected to Azure through VPN or ExpressRoute, under unified governance.
- High availability — Load balancing, availability sets, and network segmentation for high-traffic applications.
- Predictable cost — Staggered reservations and reused licensing, with a single invoice in pesos at the day's official exchange rate (TRM).
- Built-in security — DDoS Protection, network security groups by port and protocol, Defender for Servers with Just-in-Time access, and Azure Policy.
Where it's already running.
Four ways this platform is already in operation, each with its published case study.
- Many environments, one operator — Seventeen production ERP environments managed on Azure, each belonging to an end customer, with consumption billed as a Microsoft partner.
- Continuity when the engine stops — An update left the primary database stopped in the middle of operations: failing over to the replica restored service in forty minutes.
- Critical infrastructure migration — SAP, SQL Server, and web services moved off on-premises servers in eight weeks, with integrations intact.
- Hybrid without throwing away what you've paid for — Platforms where existing investments coexist with new cloud services, connected through VPN or ExpressRoute.
Frequently asked questions.
What we're asked about consumption, operations, and migrations before customers decide.
Who bills me for Azure consumption?
We do, as a Microsoft partner. You receive a single invoice in Colombian pesos, billed monthly in arrears, at the day's official exchange rate (TRM) stated on the document, with thirty-day payment terms.
How can I lower my cloud bill?
With three levers we operate directly: Azure Hybrid Benefit to reuse the licensing you already pay for, reserved instances purchased in staggered tranches, and rightsizing by machine and disk type.
How much can you save?
It depends on the architecture. For a customer that ran its application and database on a single machine, separating them into two tiers with Hybrid Benefit and reserved instances cut costs by 60% compared with pay-as-you-go pricing. A three-year reservation reaches a 62% discount on standard compute pricing.
Is cloud consumption subject to VAT?
Cloud services consumption is excluded from VAT (IVA). Managed services are subject to it.
What does the managed service include?
Administration of the Azure platform and Windows Server operating systems, monitoring seven days a week with automatic ticketing, a formal patching cycle, backup management with quarterly restore testing, measured security posture, and a ten-section monthly report.
What are the response times?
For a critical incident, thirty minutes to respond and four hours to resolve, with coverage seven days a week and progress updates every hour. Lower severities are handled during business hours, also with committed times.
What happens if a case doesn't move forward?
It escalates on its own: to the service coordinator at sixty minutes, to the solutions architect at one hundred twenty, and to operations management at two hundred forty. The customer doesn't have to push it.
What do I get every month?
A ten-section report with availability per server and the cause of each event, performance against the previous month, threshold analysis, updates, security, backups, incidents by severity, optimization, and an action plan with an owner and a date.
How long does an Azure migration take?
It depends on the inventory and dependencies. A critical infrastructure migration involving SAP, SQL Server, and third-party integrations was carried out on an eight-week schedule, including discovery and target architecture design.
How do you keep things from breaking during the migration?
Wave-based migration, with agreed cutover windows, testing for each wave, and a rollback plan defined before touching production. And with network addressing planned so it doesn't conflict with the existing network.
