Whether on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, we uncover how managed cloud services help businesses innovate and scale. 

Managed Cloud Services

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, businesses are increasingly turning to cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to drive innovation, scalability, and cost-efficiency. However, managing cloud environments can quickly become complex and time-consuming.

This is where a cloud consultancy specialising in cloud managed services can provide a competitive advantage.

What Is a Cloud Consultancy?

A cloud consultancy, such as MakeCloud, is a specialist service provider that helps organisations design, implement, and manage their cloud infrastructure. From strategy and architecture to optimisation and security, they offer expert guidance and support tailored to your business needs.

Whether you are migrating to AWS, scaling with Azure, or modernising workloads on GCP, working with an experienced cloud consultancy ensures you get it right the first time.

Key Benefits of Managed Cloud Services

1. Multicloud expertise across AWS, Azure & Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

Each cloud platform has its own strengths, services, and pricing models. A multi-cloud consultancy, such as MakeCloud, understands the nuances of AWS, Azure, and GCP, and can recommend the best platform, or combination, for your goals. This cross-platform knowledge helps avoid vendor lock-in and optimises your architecture for performance and cost.

2. Cloud cost optimisation & simplified billing 

Cloud costs can spiral out of control if left unchecked. Cloud consultancies, such as MakeCloud, continuously monitor usage for their clients, eliminate waste, and right-size resources. MakeCloud has helped its clients reduce spend by up to 50%. 

MakeCloud’s managed billing services also provide consolidated and simplified invoicing, whether across AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. 

3. Improved cloud security & compliance

Cloud consultancies enhance security, ensuring your infrastructure adheres to industry-specific standards. MakeCloud’s managed cloud services include the implementation of best practices around identity and access management, encryption, and monitoring – helping protect your company’s data and reputation.

4. Faster issue resolution & ongoing cloud support

With proactive monitoring, expert support, and incident response, cloud-managed services mitigate and resolve issues for your business. You gain peace of mind knowing that certified experts are managing your cloud environment. 

5. Focus on core business objectives

Partnering with a cloud consultancy allows your internal teams to focus on innovation and customer experience, rather than getting bogged down with cloud operations, patching, or upgrades. This improves agility and accelerates business scalability.
