Azure and cloud advising

As a trusted advisor in Azure consulting, I frequently support customers in their engagement with third-party vendors for the delivery and design of specific projects. This includes a wide range of scenarios from minor deliveries to resolving disputes related to vendor deliveries.

By engaging me as your trusted advisor, you gain the advantage of an external party that can thoroughly review and validate the design and implementation of your solution, ensuring its alignment with Microsoft recommendations and best practices.

I often come across situations where vendors deliver projects that require unnecessary privileges which can pose security risks for the organization. Additionally, there are many cases where the scope or the product is incorrectly sized for the intended purpose of the project.

Common tasks include:

• Providing feedback on specific designs before implementation. If you are implementing a new solution and would like feedback on and suggestions for the design prior to implementation, I can assist you. Perhaps you might not have the necessary qualifications to verify whether the vendor’s suggestion is the best solution for you. Alternatively, you may simply want an additional external review of the design.
• Providing assistance on a specific project after it went wrong. It happens. Sometimes, despite aligning expectations with the vendor, projects can encounter difficulties. I can help facilitate communication with the vendor and work together to find a way forward in order to reach the intended goals. It is important to note that offer support and resolution without shifting blame. My aim is to assist in finding a mutually beneficial path forward.
