FAQ

Looking for quick answers about building a secure, cost-efficient Azure data platform?

Here are some of our most commonly asked questions – from governance and observability to cost optimisation and migration best practice – so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

What is a well-architected Azure data platform?

A well-architected Azure data platform is a governed foundation that includes identity, connectivity, backup, monitoring and security controls.

It ensures reliable ingestion, storage, processing, and analytics aligned to Microsoft best practice.

This includes detailed reporting, right-sizing resources, smart procurement and cost-centre billing – helping clients achieve up to 30% savings.

What visibility will I have into my data estate?

We implement custom dashboards for DNS, storage, SQL and networking.

These dashboards track health, capacity and performance trends, enabling proactive management and faster incident response.

Does Cisilion provide migration readiness workshops?

Yes. Our Client Experience Centre hosts workshops for infrastructure, data, and migration readiness. These sessions benchmark your current environment and provide an actionable roadmap for modernisation.
