WHERE CLOUD ESTATES BREAK DOWN
When your cloud bill should be predictable, not a multi-cloud surprise.
Most UK organisations end up with two or three cloud platforms running unmanaged. Costs creep, security drifts, and accountability falls between teams.
Multi-cloud spend creeps 25-45% over plan
✕
Orphaned resources, oversized SKUs, forgotten staging environments and untagged workloads inflate the bill across AWS and Azure. Finance only sees the total.
✓
Quarterly FinOps reviews across every cloud against AWS Cost Explorer and Azure Cost Management Billing baselines.
Security baselines drift between clouds
✕
AWS GuardDuty and Azure Defender for Cloud each get configured differently. Compliance gaps appear at the seams, and ICO assessors will flag the inconsistency at audit.
✓
Unified security baselines and monthly hardening reviews against Microsoft Cloud Security Benchmark, CIS, and the NCSC Cloud principles.
No single pane of glass for operations
✕
Different consoles, different alerting rules, different runbooks. Incidents take longer to triage because nobody owns the multi-cloud picture end-to-end across vendors.
✓
Unified observability and 24/7 UK operations across every cloud, with a single runbook and one accountable team.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Cloud Management FAQ
What's included in Cloud Management?
End-to-end multi-cloud ownership: landing-zone architecture (Well-Architected Framework + AWS WAF), 24/7 UK operations, unified security baselines (Defender for Cloud + GuardDuty + Security Command Center), FinOps reviews, and ISO 27001 audit evidence packs. One UK team, one fixed monthly fee. We’ve done this for UK clients like Urbanest who transitioned to public cloud with zero disruption to operations.
How quickly can you take over our existing cloud estate?
Transition takes 8-12 weeks end-to-end. Weeks 1-3 we audit each cloud against the Microsoft Well-Architected Framework and AWS Well-Architected. Weeks 4-8 we implement unified baselines and FinOps tagging. Weeks 9-12 we cut over to 24/7 UK operations. Read our UK cloud security guide for more.
Are you a recognised cloud partner?
Yes. Transputec is a Microsoft Solutions Partner with Azure Infrastructure designations and an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner, earned through validated UK customer outcomes. We hold ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus.
How does pricing work and how much will we save?
Fixed monthly per-subscription fee covers architecture, operations, security reviews, FinOps, and on-call hours. Cloud consumption charges are passed through at cost. Median savings on cloud consumption after our quarterly FinOps reviews is 30%, paying for the management fee multiple times over. We align hardening reviews to UK guidance such as the NCSC Cloud Security collection and Cyber Essentials.
What about data residency and UK sovereignty?
UK South + UK West Azure regions, eu-west-2 (London) on AWS, and europe-west2 on GCP keep your data and processing within UK borders, simplifying UK GDPR, ICO, FCA and NHS DSPT compliance. Our landing-zone defaults to UK-primary + secondary-UK DR. Full data-residency documentation is included in the handover pack.
What is the difference between multi-cloud and hybrid cloud?
Multi-cloud means using two or more public cloud providers (Azure + AWS + GCP) for different workloads, typically to avoid vendor lock-in, leverage best-of-breed services, or meet regulator-driven sovereignty rules. Hybrid cloud means combining at least one public cloud with on-premises infrastructure (data centre, edge, co-location) under a single operating model. Most UK mid-market estates we manage are both: hybrid (public + on-prem) AND multi-cloud (more than one public provider). The skill is operating them as one stack, not three silos. See NCSC Cloud guidance for the security baseline.
