Cloud Services
Cloud services that turn complexity into a strategic advantage
Cloud consulting and managed cloud services built around your business goals, not just your infrastructure, with cost control and security as standard, not an afterthought.
Book a Free SessionMoving to the cloud, or getting more out of the cloud environment you already have, should make your business faster and cheaper to run. Too often it does the opposite: overprovisioned resources, unclear costs, and a security posture nobody has reviewed since go-live. DJC's cloud services start with an audit of what you actually have and need, then build a plan around it.
We work primarily on Microsoft Azure, and our managed Azure service goes deeper on that specific expertise, including cost optimisation using Microsoft's commitment discounts. Where your business needs custom dashboards, automation, or systems talking to each other in the cloud, our custom software development team builds directly on the same cloud environment we manage.
Cloud security is built into every engagement, covered by the same cyber security standards and ISO 27001 discipline we apply across DJC, along with disaster recovery and business continuity planning so a cloud outage never becomes a business-stopping event.
What our cloud services cover
Cloud auditing and right-sizing
A full review of your current cloud environment to identify what is overprovisioned, underused, or costing more than it should.
Migration and deployment
End-to-end management of cloud migrations, from planning through to go-live, with minimal disruption to your operations.
Performance and cost optimisation
Regular reviews that keep your cloud environment running efficiently while actively managing what it costs you.
Advanced security protocols
Top-tier security measures and centralised management, so your cloud environment is protected to the same standard as the rest of your IT.
Disaster recovery and business continuity
Planning that protects your business if something goes wrong, built around the resilience the cloud makes possible.
24/7 proactive monitoring
Continuous monitoring so your cloud environment performs as expected, with issues caught before they affect your team.
If IT is your responsibility
An owner, not an account manager
You deal with Daniel or Julian Church directly. We keep the client list deliberately short so the people who answer already know your environment.
Numbers you can defend
Every engagement starts with a costed IT roadmap: what technology should cost this year and next, in business terms you can take to a board or a budget meeting.

If you already have an IT manager or a small team, we are not here to replace them. Co-managed IT adds tooling, escalation and after-hours cover around them.
How co-managed IT worksWhy DJC
- We audit before we advise. Cloud auditing and right-sizing comes first, so recommendations are based on your actual usage, not a generic template.
- Cost control is the point, not a side benefit. Ongoing cost management is built into the service, not something you have to ask for separately.
- Security by default. Every cloud environment we manage inherits DJC's ISO 27001 aligned security approach.
- We can build on it too. When your cloud environment needs custom integration or automation, our own software development team builds it, with no separate vendor to coordinate.
Quick answers
What is the difference between cloud consulting and managed cloud services?
Cloud consulting is the upfront work: auditing your environment and designing the right strategy. Managed cloud services is the ongoing management, monitoring, and cost optimisation after that strategy is in place. DJC provides both, often starting with an audit before moving into managed support.
How can DJC help reduce our cloud costs?
We start with a cloud audit and right-sizing exercise to find overprovisioned or unused resources, then apply ongoing cost management techniques and, where relevant, commitment-based discounts. Cost optimisation is reviewed regularly rather than being a one-off exercise.
Do you support hybrid cloud environments?
Yes. We manage fully cloud-based, hybrid, and on-premises-plus-cloud environments, and help businesses transition between them at whatever pace suits their operations.
Is our data secure in the cloud?
DJC applies the same ISO 27001 aligned security protocols and 24/7 monitoring to your cloud environment as we do across the rest of your managed IT, including disaster recovery planning for business continuity.
