All Case Studies
Our Azure clients right-size spend and keep deploys steady metrics
Two recent Azure cloud engagements. Full figures under MNDA; the workload detail comes out on a scoping call.
Cloud and Data engagement,
Azure platform owner
Dcrayon reworked our Azure setup around one cost-per-workload figure, not raw resource counts. Reserved instances and a clean landing zone gave us a number the board reads easily.
Azure engagement: Well-Architected review, a Bicep landing zone, and Azure Cost Management tagging so every subscription maps to an owner. Mutual exit clause at the first quarterly review.
Read Cloud and Data engagement's Case StudyMid-market cloud and data brand,
Azure and AKS platform owner
Our Azure estate had drifted for over a year, subscriptions sprawling with untagged resources. Dcrayon set governance policies and consolidated regions, and the bill made sense again.
Azure engagement paired with AKS workload tuning and log ingestion cleanup in Azure Monitor. A no-charge Azure Advisor and cost baseline opened the work.

HOW WE WORK
How Dcrayon works with the brands we partner with
A short film on how we work: the people you deal with, how we report, and the results we hold ourselves to.
What we build on Azure
The three pieces most Azure engagements turn on, from subscription design to a spend line finance can follow.
Step 1: Landing zones and identity
Subscriptions and Entra ID Management groups, policy assignments and Entra ID integration, so access and cost sit under one design rather than growing by accident.
Step 2: Assessment and migration
Azure Migrate waves Azure Migrate assessments, dependency maps and wave plans, with a cutover runbook per wave and right-sizing after landing.
Step 3: Infrastructure as code
Bicep or Terraform Every resource defined in code with drift detection, so the estate you review in a document is the estate that is running.
Technical Azure controls we build into every estate
Default capabilities on every Dcrayon Azure engagement
Each control below maps to a pillar of the Azure Well-Architected Framework, built and checked by the architect on your account.
Change records in Azure DevOps
Every Azure change ships with a pull request, before and after Azure Monitor metrics, an updated runbook, and a Bicep or Terraform commit.
Copilot-assisted operations
Dcrayon AI and Azure Monitor anomaly detection watch cost, resource drift, and Log Analytics alerts across your subscriptions from day one.
FinOps on Azure Cost Management
Resource tagging and Microsoft Cost Management reviews surface waste early.
We report cost per workload and reservation coverage, not just monthly spend.
Defender for Cloud baseline
Every change passes Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Azure Policy, with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR-aware controls set as the subscription default.
Three methods we run on every Azure Cloud Services engagement
A Well-Architected review, a written migration and modernization plan, and Dcrayon AI audit checks, run on every Azure engagement.
Growth Intelligence (Azure estate axis)
An Azure Well-Architected Review across your subscriptions. We read Advisor scores, Cost Management spend, Defender for Cloud alerts, Bicep or Terraform coverage, and how much compute sits idle. Free on every proposal call.
Dcrayon Growth Engine (Azure migration sequencing)
The written plan that orders your Azure work, migrate, then tune cost, then harden, back to one operational metric you pick. Built to show movement within a quarter.
Dcrayon AI (Azure audit toolkit)
Internal toolkit that audits your Azure estate against the Well-Architected pillars and produces a prioritized remediation list your finance team can budget.
How Dcrayon runs your Azure estate
Three repeatable plays that make each Azure cycle steadier and cheaper than the last.
Step 1: Score
Free Growth Intelligence readout in one business day. We map your Azure estate against the five Well-Architected pillars and hand back one 0-100 number plus the gap list. No follow-on commitment.
Step 2: Plan
A written 90-day plan tied to one operational metric you pick, like monthly Azure spend or recovery time. A senior architect writes the Bicep and Azure Policy; either side can close the SoW; no annual lock-in.
Step 3: Compound
A weekly working session with your architect plus a monthly readout your finance team can follow. The work stacks: landing zone and Defender hardening first, then managed identities and RBAC, then autoscale rules and budget alerts.

WHY DCRAYON
Why teams keep the Azure estate with us
Four commitments that apply from the first subscription onward.
A fixed estimate in a business day
A written diagnostic and a fixed price within one business day of the first call, not after a drawn-out paid discovery.
A certified architect who stays
The Azure architect who scopes your landing zone is the one who builds and runs it. No junior engineers learning on your subscription.
Automation is the default, not an upsell
Bicep or Terraform, cost anomaly alerts and policy-as-code ship with the engagement rather than arriving as a later phase.
One number in the monthly report
Azure spend and recovery time against the metric you picked, written so finance can read it without a translation call.
