“With the South African Azure Data Centres now fully operational, our customers are focusing more and more on Azure and leveraging our expertise to simplify their use of these public cloud services,” says Avash Maharaj, head of Infrastructure, Cloud and Security at Blue Turtle. “But the move to cloud can be paved with complexity, which is why we have created this programme as a means to help our customers better understand their environment, and through personal engagement with clients, align their cloud aspirations with tangible business results.

“With our experience and technical capabilities, we help customers discover the inventory of their IT workloads and analyse that data to produce a rich, detailed report to begin their Journey to the Cloud, based on fact. After this we draw from the five pillars to ensure that their cloud journey isn’t just a road trip, but a journey with a destination,” he adds.
