We combine Microsoft expertise with sector knowledge, strong governance and a people-first mindset. That balance ensures technology delivers real-world value.
We design and engineer cloud and hybrid platforms that support real systems. Reliable foundations for applications, data and AI without unnecessary complexity.
Most delivery problems aren’t caused by applications. They’re caused by the platforms underneath them.
Our Cloud & Platform Engineering work focuses on building and maintaining cloud and hybrid foundations that make systems easier to run, change and govern. We design platforms that support applications, data and AI initiatives without getting in the way of delivery, growth, or control.
Cloud platforms only add value when they’re supporting the systems that let organisations move their bottom line.
That’s why we’ve always designed cloud and hybrid platforms with real workloads in mind: business applications, data platforms, integrations and automation. We start with how systems behave in practice, not how platforms look on diagrams.
The result is platforms that help your teams move faster and reduces friction, rather than introducing new layers of complexity.
Good platforms are built on strong, dependable (boring) foundations. Not boring because they lack ambition, but because they do their job quietly and reliably, without drawing attention to themselves.
We focus on identity and access, environment structure, networking, governance and operational standards before worrying about tooling choices.
It’s these foundations that shape everything that comes after, from security posture to cost control and delivery speed. That approach keeps platforms understandable, supportable and resilient over time.
In our minds, automation only matters when it changes outcomes.
We use infrastructure and platform automation to improve reliability, repeatability and control. Not because it’s fashionable, or a buzzword, but because it reduces manual effort, lowers risk and improves consistency across environments.
Automation is treated as an engineering discipline, not a transformation programme.
Modern platforms need to be able to scale, recover and adapt without drama.
That’s why we design for resilience, scalability and operational control from the start.
That includes how platforms handle growth, failure, change and governance, as well as how they support future initiatives around data, AI and automation.
The goal is a platform that enables change, rather than becoming the thing that slows it down.
Our Cloud & Platform Engineering approach is pragmatic, Microsoft-aligned and focused on long-term delivery rather than one-off builds.
We design cloud and hybrid platforms with Microsoft Azure as the primary reference point, considering wider environments where relevant.
Designs are grounded in real workloads, operational needs and governance requirements.
We establish clear, secure identity and access foundations that support usability as well as control.
That includes structuring access in a way that scales with teams, partners and services without becoming unmanageable.
We define consistent patterns for environments, subscriptions and resource structure.
This reduces drift, simplifies support and makes platforms easier to understand and operate across teams.
We implement automation for infrastructure provisioning, configuration and change where it improves reliability and repeatability. That includes infrastructure as code, pipelines and configuration management as implementation details… not the headline.
We design integration and connectivity patterns, resilience approaches and operational controls that support stable delivery.
That includes scalability, recovery considerations, monitoring foundations and governance structures that don’t block progress.
What makes FormusPro’s approach different?
We combine Microsoft expertise with sector knowledge, strong governance and a people-first mindset. That balance ensures technology delivers real-world value.
How do you manage risk in projects?
We apply proven governance frameworks with regular checkpoints, transparent reporting and clear escalation paths. That way, risks are identified and resolved early.
What happens after a project goes live?
Our methodology includes training, support and continuous improvement. We don’t just hand over a system; we help you keep it useful and evolving.
How do you measure project success?
Success is measured against outcomes agreed at the start… whether that’s adoption rates, efficiency gains, reduced costs or improved reporting.
How do you ensure continuous improvement is part of your methodology?
We build improvement cycles into our approach, scheduling regular reviews and updates so your system evolves with business needs and Microsoft releases.
How do you make sure stakeholders stay engaged?
We use collaborative workshops, regular updates and clear roadmaps so stakeholders understand progress and remain part of decision-making.
Can your methodology scale for large enterprise projects?
Yes. Our framework adapts to both small projects and large, multi-department programmes, ensuring governance and adoption scale alongside complexity.
How do you balance speed with quality in delivery?
We use phased delivery and automated testing to move quickly whilst maintaining quality. Each phase is reviewed against agreed outcomes before moving forward.
Can your methodology work with other partners?
Yes. We often collaborate with internal IT teams or existing partners. Our framework ensures clear roles, responsibilities and governance across all parties.
What role does change management play in your methodology?
Change management is central. We engage stakeholders, provide training and help staff adapt so systems are adopted, not just delivered.
What role does change management play in your methodology?
Change management is central. We engage stakeholders, provide training and help staff adapt so systems are adopted, not just delivered.
Do you use agile or waterfall delivery models?
We use agile, phased or fixed-price approaches depending on what suits the project best. The model is chosen to balance flexibility, clarity and budget control.
Why does methodology matter in Microsoft projects?
Anclear methodology reduces risk, avoids wasted effort and keeps projects on track. It ensures technology is delivered in a way that supports people and business goals.
What do we mean when we say “How We Do It”?
“How We Do It” is FormusPro’s delivery methodology. It explains the way we approach projects… from discovery and planning to governance, change management and long-term support.
