Azure development

Azure development services for applications that run reliably in the cloud

Our Azure development services give you a maintainable cloud application, migration or platform extension, scoped around your workload. One India-based cross-functional team covering back-end, DevOps and QA works under a named delivery lead, with IP assignment in the contract before the build. Send a short brief to start.

Ownership
Your contract confirms IP assignment for the Azure solution before any build work starts.
Reviews
Each sprint ends with a client-facing review, so you see working Azure features and can steer priorities as the build progresses.
What you get

From Azure brief to a workload you can run

A written Azure scope

Before any build starts, we turn your brief into a written discovery scope. It names the workload, whether you are building new, migrating or extending a platform, the integrations and environments involved, and the open questions. You can check what an Azure project will cover before you commit, and cost drivers are visible early.

Architecture with an owner

A technical architect is accountable for system design, technology selection and code quality standards. You get Azure service choices explained against your requirements, rather than defaults. If another approach would suit your workload better, we will say so after scoping.

Delivery you can inspect

One cross-functional team covers back-end, DevOps and QA, led day to day by a named delivery lead. You see working progress at a client-facing review at the end of every sprint, and at release you receive documentation and deployment access so your team can run what we built.

Who it suits

Azure projects we scope around your workload

  • A new cloud application that needs an Azure-ready architecture from day one
  • Existing workloads you want to migrate or modernise on Azure, scoped after discovery
  • A live Azure platform that needs new features, DevOps support or QA

How an Azure project runs

How an Azure project runs, step by step

  1. Discover

    We write down the Azure workload you want built, migrated or extended, along with its integrations, existing systems and environments. You review the scope and the open questions before any design work starts.

    You receive
    • Written discovery scope
    • Workload and integration notes
    • Initial estimate

    You approve the written discovery scope

  2. Design

    Our technical architect sets out the solution design, Azure service choices and environment layout. You review the reasoning behind each technology decision and challenge it where your constraints differ.

    You receive
    • Solution architecture outline
    • Environment and access plan
    • Technology selection notes

    You sign off the architecture before development begins

  3. Build

    One cross-functional team develops the back-end, pipelines and infrastructure in sprints, with QA running alongside. Your named delivery lead keeps you informed, and you see working software at the end of every sprint.

    You receive
    • Azure staging builds
    • Sprint review notes
    • Azure staging builds

    You review the working build at each sprint end

  4. Test

    QA checks the solution against the scope you approved, covering functional behaviour, integrations and the deployment process in a staging environment. You review the results and decide what must be fixed before release.

    You receive
    • Acceptance checklist
    • QA report
    • Open issue log

    You accept the Azure solution against the agreed criteria

  5. Release

    We deploy to your Azure environment and prepare the documentation and deployment access your team will need. You confirm what your team will run and what we support after go-live.

    You receive
    • Production deployment
    • Handover documentation
    • Deployment access handover

    You sign off the handover before go-live

Cost drivers before estimates

What drives the cost of your Azure project

Workloads, environments and access

Your Azure estimate starts with what must run and who uses it: application types, user roles, and separate development, staging and production environments. We list these in the written discovery scope so the price reflects real requirements, not a guess. You see the assumptions before any build begins.

Existing systems and integrations

Connections to your current databases, identity systems, third-party APIs and on-premises software are often the largest variable in an Azure migration or extension. We map each one early, with the technical architect choosing the approach. You find out about dependencies during scoping, not halfway through the build.

Release, handover and ongoing support

Testing depth, deployment automation and post-release support all affect scope. We agree them up front, then hand over documentation and deployment access at release so your team can operate the solution. If another approach would suit you better than Azure, we will say so after scoping.

Three ways to engage

Pick the Azure engagement that fits your workload

Project delivery

Fixed-price delivery of a defined Azure build, migration or platform extension, suited to buyers who can describe the outcome and want a firm scope.

  • A written discovery scope listing Azure workloads, integrations and environments before the build starts
  • A client-facing review at the end of every sprint, so you see working Azure releases as they land
  • A change request for anything outside the agreed scope, so cost and timeline never shift silently

Dedicated team

A dedicated India-based team that keeps building and improving your Azure platform sprint after sprint, suited to a roadmap that will keep changing.

  • A technical architect accountable for Azure design, technology choices and code quality standards
  • Sprint planning and an end-of-sprint review with your product owner, covering the Azure back-end, DevOps and QA work
  • Source code and IP assigned to you through a contract clause confirmed before the build starts

Staff augmentation

Azure-skilled engineers who slot into your in-house team, suited to buyers who already have the architecture and process and need more hands.

  • Back-end, DevOps or QA engineers added to close a specific Azure skills gap on your team
  • Engineers work in your repositories, ticketing and Azure subscription under your own access rules
  • Communication window, meeting schedule and update cadence agreed with you before the first day of work
Technology on Azure

Azure services chosen to fit your workload

Netofficials fixes the Azure services for your project in the written discovery scope, before any build begins. Our technical architect, who is accountable for system design and technology selection, picks them against your workload, the systems you already run and who will operate the platform after release. You see the reasoning up front, so a costly service swap does not surface halfway through development. If another cloud approach would suit you better, we say so after scoping.

Before you enquire

Azure project questions, answered before you enquire

What drives the cost of an Azure project?

Four things drive the cost of an Azure project: the workloads you need built or moved, the integrations with your existing systems, the state of any platform we inherit, and the number of environments such as staging and production. We do not publish fixed prices on this page. After a written discovery scope, you receive an estimate with its assumptions, and you can choose fixed-price project delivery, a dedicated team or staff augmentation. Send a short brief and we will start from there.

Who owns the code and the Azure setup we pay for?

You own it. Netofficials confirms IP assignment in the contract before the build begins, so ownership is settled before any code is written. At release we also hand over documentation and deployment access, which means your team can run and extend the Azure solution without depending on us. If you want to review the ownership terms early, raise it in your first conversation.

How do we communicate and review progress during the project?

A named delivery lead owns day-to-day progress and your communication, and you get a client-facing review at the end of every sprint. We agree the communication window, meeting schedule and update cadence with you before work begins, so you know when to expect updates. A technical architect is accountable for system design, technology selection and code quality standards throughout the project.

Send your Azure brief and get a written scope

Tell us the workload you want to build, migrate or extend on Azure, plus the systems it has to connect to. Our delivery lead and technical architect review the brief and shape a written discovery scope. It sets out what is in the first release, the assumptions behind it and the engagement model that fits. If another approach would serve you better, we will say so after scoping.
