# Microsoft Azure consulting for businesses that run on Microsoft

> APPSOLN sets up, moves, and manages applications on Microsoft Azure, a natural fit if your business already uses Microsoft 365, .NET, or Windows servers.

Microsoft Azure is Microsoft's cloud platform. It works closely with Microsoft 365, Windows, and .NET, and it offers servers, databases, and AI services, including Azure OpenAI.

## For small businesses

A small business already using Microsoft 365 might use Azure to host its apps with the same logins staff already use.

## For larger companies

A large company might use Azure to move Windows and .NET systems to the cloud, use Microsoft Entra ID for single sign-on, and run AI securely with Azure OpenAI.

## What we do

- Set up new Azure subscriptions securely
- Move Windows, SQL Server, and .NET apps to Azure
- Set up single sign-on with Microsoft Entra ID
- Control Azure costs and set up backups
- Build AI features with Azure OpenAI
