Azure & AWS consulting, backed by always-on offshore support

Plenty of teams can give cloud advice. Far fewer stay and do the work. QITPL pairs senior Azure and AWS consulting — architecture, migration, cost and security — with a hands-on offshore team that keeps the cloud running day to day. You get the strategy and the people to execute it, at offshore cost and across time zones.

Azure + AWS Deep expertise across both major clouds, including multi-cloud setups.
Advise + run Not a slide deck and a handshake — we implement and then operate it.
Extra hours An offshore team that extends your working day and covers off-hours.

Cloud is easy to start and hard to run well

Most SMBs and agencies are already on Azure or AWS. The trouble is what comes after the first deploy: bills that creep up every month, architectures that drift away from their original design, security gaps nobody has time to close, and no clear owner when something breaks at 2am. Hiring a full in-house cloud team is expensive and hard to justify for the amount of work that actually needs doing.

That is the gap we fill: senior cloud judgement when decisions matter, plus a dependable offshore team for the steady, ongoing operational work — without the cost of building that bench internally.

Consulting that comes with hands to do the work

Engagements can be a focused project, ongoing managed support, or both. The same team covers strategy and execution, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.

Architecture & reviews

Well-Architected-style reviews of your Azure or AWS environment, with a clear, prioritised list of what to fix for reliability, performance and cost.

Cloud migration

Move from on-premise or another provider, or modernise what you already run — lift-and-shift or re-platform onto managed services, with minimal downtime.

Cost optimization

Right-sizing, reserved capacity, autoscaling and cleanup of waste. We routinely take a bill that has crept up and bring it back under control.

Security & compliance

Identity and access, network hardening, secrets management, encryption and audit logging — closing the gaps that quietly accumulate over time.

Monitoring, backup & DR

Alerting that tells you about problems before customers do, plus tested backups and disaster recovery so an outage is a non-event, not a crisis.

Offshore managed support

DevOps-as-a-service: pipelines, patching, deployments, incident response and routine ops handled by our team so yours can stay focused on the product.

  • Microsoft Azure
  • Amazon Web Services
  • Multi-cloud
  • Terraform / Bicep
  • CI/CD
  • FinOps
  • Monitoring & DR
  • Managed support

One team for both clouds

Whether you are all-in on Azure, on AWS, or running both, it is the same team. That matters for agencies especially — your clients arrive on different stacks, and we can support all of them under your brand instead of you juggling several vendors.

Assess, design, implement, operate

A simple, repeatable shape that works for a one-off project and for a long-term support relationship.

1

Assess

We review the current environment, costs and risks.

  • Architecture and security review
  • Cost and usage breakdown
  • Prioritised findings
2

Design

We agree a target state and a realistic roadmap to get there.

  • Target architecture
  • Migration or remediation plan
  • Clear cost and effort estimates
3

Implement

We do the work — with everything captured as code.

  • Migrations and re-platforming
  • Infrastructure as code and CI/CD
  • Security and monitoring in place
4

Operate

We keep it healthy, optimised and supported.

  • Ongoing monitoring and incident response
  • Patching, deployments and backups
  • Continual cost and performance tuning

The advantages clients actually feel

  • Senior-led decisions, with routine operations handled cost-effectively offshore.
  • Time-zone coverage that extends your working day and watches off-hours.
  • Predictable monthly support instead of scrambling for scarce cloud hires.
  • White-label support for agencies — we work quietly behind your brand.
  • One accountable partner across Azure, AWS and multi-cloud.
  • Lower, more predictable cloud bills as optimisation becomes ongoing, not a one-off.

The outcome

Clients get the expertise of a senior cloud practice and the steadiness of a dedicated operations team — without hiring either. The cloud stays well-architected, secure and cost-controlled, and there is always someone accountable when it matters.
