Scoping and design

This package turns your business requirements into a technical architecture that works!

By taking this package, you will receive a dedicated Scoping Document. To do this, our Azure Consultant will provide a requirements gathering workshop with key stakeholders to understand your project goals and current infrastructure.

Our Scoping Document will detail:

• A summary of the project goals taken from our workshop
• A breakdown of the Microsoft Azure running costs for the proposed architecture
• A detailed design document that will specify the proposed Azure architecture
• A plan that details the tasks required to implement the proposed solution
• Estimated times to complete individual tasks

The Scoping Document is yours to own. You can use it to implement the design yourself. However, if you don’t have the resource, we have a Technical Implementation package that can take care of this for you.

Technical Implementation

Once the design has been produced at the scoping stage, you have the opportunity to use our team of Azure experts to complete the build on your behalf.

Our specialist Azure team have a track record of delivering and managing infrastructure solutions within Microsoft Azure, which has resulted in Circle Cloud being accredited by Microsoft as a Gold Cloud Partners.

As a Microsoft Gold Partner we can provide you with a single invoice for your Azure consumption each month. Our experts will work with you and your team to ensure you are purchasing your Azure resources using the most cost-efficient methods, such as reserved instances and hybrid licensing. At no extra cost, you will be provided with access to a Power BI dashboard that will show you in depth analysis of your Azure spend.

If you’re looking to migrate to Office 365, Circle Cloud will implement the product using the latest migration methods and best practices, both from a technical and security perspective. Additionally, we perform work for customers who already have Office 365 implemented, particularly around improving their security posture using tools such as conditional access, Defender and Microsoft Endpoint Manager. We have predefined implementation packages for existing Office 365 customers who would like to implement these additional features.

When purchasing licensing through us, you gain access to our licensing expertise. You can ask questions and ensure you are purchasing the licenses that will deliver the most value for your organisation. In addition to licenses and expertise, we also provide you with a self-service portal for adding and removing your own licenses. Using our bespoke reporting platform for Office 365, you can analyze your licenses and see where your Office 365 users are not utilising all of the features of a license, allowing you to identify potential savings.

Circle Cloud’s approach to implementing Microsoft Teams Voice has been designed by learning lessons from many customer projects. Our process begins with a Consultant holding a requirements workshop, designed to ensure you have a full understanding of all of the features within Microsoft Teams Voice. During this workshop, we establish how exactly you want Microsoft Teams Voice to work for your business. We agree your individual user’s capabilities for voice calling, such as number of minutes, international dialing permissions and call queue membership. Business-wide functionality, such as call queues and auto attendants, are designed and agreed upon. We build the system, arrange and deliver training sessions for all of your users and support you with porting your existing numbers into the system.

Teams Voice utilises Microsoft 365 licenses and calling plans. As with all Microsoft Cloud licenses, as a gold partner, we can provide you with your Microsoft Teams Voice licenses and calling plans. Our consultants and account managers can help you navigate the best way to license and pay for your Teams requirements by advising on the use of calling plans, bundled licenses and communications credits to ensure you gain the most value from your Microsoft Teams Voice implementation.
