Problems
Mid-market organizations often adopt Azure tactically rather than strategically. The result is an unclear cloud roadmap, fragile recovery posture, siloed initiatives across teams, uncontrolled cloud spend, and growing compliance exposure. These issues compound over time, increasing operational risk while eroding confidence in cloud investments.
Solutions
Amerix provides cloud strategy as an advisory discipline. We align Azure architecture, governance, security, resilience, and cost management to business objectives. Our approach combines proven Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework patterns with FinOps and enterprise-scale design to ensure cloud decisions are intentional, defensible, and scalable.

Every engagement produces concrete, decision-ready outputs. Typical deliverables include:

Engagement Options
We engage flexibly based on client maturity and objectives.
