How we make it happen
Solution reviews
Cloud technologies move at a rapid pace and it's all too easy to be left behind. Likewise, the promises of the latest and greatest are often tempting. If you want to ensure you're using the right products and platforms, we'll give you honest and pragmatic advice specific to your requirements.
We take a customer-first, vendor-neutral approach to reviewing the solutions you're using and assess them for suitability, compliance and cost of ownership. With a solution stack agreed, we then look to rationalise your procurement routes to optimise your investment and, where possible, reduce spend.
As your single-point of purchase we'll save you time, money and the administration headache of dealing with multiple vendors.
Business Process and Cost Optimisation
Licence optimisation: Our licensing experts will happily explain the differences between EAs, SPLA, CSP, NCE, co-terms and such, but if you simply want someone to take away the pain and ensure you've got the right type of licence for your needs and are fully compliant, just ask and they'll handle it all.
Finance and leasing: Software leasing is now more common than many recognise. For scale-up businesses it's often about easing their cashflow, for more established business the tax planning advantages can be higher up their agenda. By working in close partnership with vendors and finance providers, we can ensure you always have the latest hardware and software available.
Cloud Management Solutions
Effective cloud management requires a deep understanding of cloud architecture, security, networking, and data management, as well as the ability to integrate multiple cloud services and technologies to meet the needs of end users.
By working with our internal experts, partners and vendors, Grey Matter will help you optimise your cloud solutions so you can meet your business objectives and technical requirements head on.
We offer cloud management solutions from Microsoft, ManageEngine, SolarWinds and Quest.

Azure Services
Cost Analysis: Consolidate your Azure licences and make immediate cost savings. Decades of licensing experience, and analytics tools within Azure, enable our team to assess your existing Azure subscription model and recommended changes that will save you money without compromising on levels of service.
Health Check: Our Azure certified architects will work closely with you to gain an in-depth understanding of your current Azure configuration. They'll identify the resources you're using and make recommendations based upon Microsoft best practice. They'll also identify any opportunities for you to benefit from the efficiencies, scaling and resiliency that the flexibility of Azure provides.
Design Service: If you're looking at a potentially complex Azure adoption, our Azure Design Service will de-risk your project. At the end you will have a detailed architectural diagram that explains how to configure your solutions and/or infrastructure in Azure. You can use this as a detailed reference when building the solution, whether you choose to do that yourselves or commission Grey Matter do it for you.
Monitoring Service: We monitor your Azure environment so you don't have to. The service covers key areas and goes far beyond the standard Azure Advisor reporting. Designed with resilience and compliance (inc. SOC TSP, ISO 27001 and HIPAA HITRUST) at its core the Enterprise level package includes 24/7 support and time with our Microsoft-certified team.
