IS .NET RIGHT FOR YOU

Where Azure Is the Right Choice, and Where It Isn't

Azure development services cover the design, build, migration and operation of software on Microsoft Azure. That means .NET and Java apps on App Service or Container Apps, serverless Functions, data platforms on Microsoft Fabric, and AI agents on Microsoft Foundry. It also covers infrastructure as code, CI/CD and identity security.

Choose Azure when

✓  Your company already runs on Microsoft. With Entra ID, Microsoft 365 and Teams in place, Azure inherits your identity, policies and admin skills on day one. Single sign-on and conditional access come along without a second identity system.

✓  You're moving .NET Framework and SQL Server off aging servers. Azure SQL Managed Instance keeps near-full SQL Server compatibility, and App Service runs classic ASP.NET with little change. Azure Hybrid Benefit lets you reuse the Windows Server and SQL Server licenses you already pay for.

✓  Your analysts live in Power BI and Excel. Microsoft Fabric puts the lakehouse, warehouse, pipelines and Power BI on one copy of data in OneLake. Analysts keep the tools they know, and engineering gets a real data platform underneath.

✓  You want AI agents inside the tools people already use. Microsoft Foundry runs Azure OpenAI and other models under your Azure governance. You can publish the agents you build there into Teams and Microsoft 365.

Where we'd tell you not to

> Your stack is open source and already on AWS. If your team runs Linux containers, Terraform and Postgres on AWS with no Microsoft licenses to reuse, a move buys migration cost and little else. Our dedicated AWS developers can extend what you have.

> Your data already lives in BigQuery. Moving petabytes out of BigQuery costs months and egress fees, and Google's analytics stack may be the reason it works. Google Cloud is often the better home, and our dedicated GCP developers work there.

> You need a small site or a simple internal tool. A brochure site or a five-screen CRUD app doesn't need subscriptions, landing zones and Entra app registrations. A managed host like Vercel, or a Power Apps build inside Microsoft 365, will cost less and ship sooner.

WHAT WE BUILD

Our Azure Development Services

Six kinds of Microsoft Azure development services we deliver, each listed with the stack we'd actually use.

Custom Azure Application Development

Custom Azure application development for web, mobile and SaaS products, built on ASP.NET Core 10 or Node.js. We choose App Service or Container Apps per workload, define infrastructure in Bicep, and wire in Entra ID sign-in and cost tags from sprint one.

ASP.NET Core 10, Azure App Service, Azure Container Apps, Bicep, Microsoft Entra ID

Azure .NET Application Modernization

.NET 8 and 9 are out of support after November 10, 2026, and .NET Framework apps are older still. We map dependencies, upgrade to .NET 10 LTS and move SQL Server to Azure SQL Managed Instance. It is the method behind our application modernization services.

.NET 10 LTS, Azure Migrate, Azure Database Migration Service, Azure SQL Managed Instance, Azure API Management

Cloud-Native and Serverless on Azure

Azure cloud development for event-driven and containerized systems. Functions on the Flex Consumption plan handle bursty jobs. AKS or Container Apps run long-lived services, and Service Bus carries messages between them. We plan retries and duplicate messages before the first deploy.

Azure Functions (Flex Consumption), Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure Service Bus, Azure Event Grid, KEDA

Data Platforms and Integration on Azure

Our data platform modernization work connects ERPs, SaaS apps and files through Data Factory and Logic Apps. Data lands in Microsoft Fabric or Azure Databricks, and Power BI reads one governed copy, tracked in Microsoft Purview.

Azure DevOps, Quality Engineering and Support

Our DevOps and quality engineering team runs builds in Azure DevOps Pipelines or GitHub Actions, with Playwright tests at the UI layer. Application Insights traces every release. After launch we patch, tune cost in Azure Cost Management and own the alerts.

Azure AI and ML Development

Azure AI and ML development inside the apps you already run. We ground Azure OpenAI models in your documents with Azure AI Search and test answers against an evaluation set. Agents ship on Foundry Agent Service, scoped first by our generative AI consulting team.

ENGAGEMENT & COST

How You Engage Us, and What Drives the Cost

Three commercial shapes, and an honest account of what moves the number. You shouldn't have to fill in a form to learn how a partner charges.
WHAT ACTUALLY MOVES THE NUMBER
Seniority mix
An architect-heavy team costs more per month and usually less overall. The wrong mix shows up as rework, not as an invoice line.
Scope certainty
Fixed price needs fixed scope. Where the requirement is still moving, time and materials beats the contingency a fixed bid has to carry.
Compliance requirements
Regulated environments add evidence, review cycles and audit trails. That is real work, and it belongs in the estimate rather than in a surprise.
Integration surface
The number of systems you must talk to predicts effort better than feature count. Ten integrations is a different project from two.

HOW WE DELIVER

Our Enterprise-Ready Delivery Framework

The same five steps on every engagement.
STEP 01
Contextual Readiness
Ready-to-deploy solutions for your environment. We map the existing estate, its dependencies and its constraints before proposing anything.
STEP 02
Seamless Vendor Onboarding
Rapid integration with existing vendor ecosystems. Access, environments, security review and ways of working, handled so engineering time isn't spent on procurement.
STEP 03
Platform-Agnostic Engineering
Works across any technology stack. We build on the stack that earns its place. We won't force a technology decision to suit our bench.
STEP 04
Flexible Engagement Model
Scalable team structures to your needs. The commercial shape can change as the work does, without renegotiating the relationship.
STEP 05
Hybrid Global Delivery
Onshore, nearshore and offshore delivery, with overlap hours that make standups worth attending.
WHEN WE'RE STAFFING A TEAM
Curated profiles · 24 to 48 hrs
Onboard & kickoff · 48 to 72 hrs
Our published staffing SLAs, from the point a requirement is agreed. You interview the engineers before committing.
HOW IT RUNS IN PRACTICE
Two-week sprints, demoable increments, a backlog your product owner controls
Peer review on every change and quality gates that block rather than warn
Canary and blue-green releases with rollback, so a bad deploy is a non-event

FAQS

Azure Development FAQs

Still have a question?
Ask a senior engineer directly. We reply within one business day.
Ask us directly →

Should we move to .NET 10 or keep .NET Framework 4.8 when we migrate to Azure?

Move to .NET 10, the current LTS release supported until November 14, 2028, for any app you plan to keep for years. .NET Framework 4.8.1 still gets security fixes as part of Windows, but it gets no new features and runs only on Windows hosts. Apps that are hard to port can run as they are on App Service for Windows while you upgrade one module at a time.

Should we use Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions?

Use GitHub Actions for new projects and keep Azure DevOps where it already works, since both deploy to Azure well. Azure DevOps, which replaced Team Foundation Server, is still fully supported. Its Boards and release approvals suit regulated teams. GitHub brings Copilot, Advanced Security and a larger open-source ecosystem. Moving years of working pipelines in a hurry rarely pays off.

How do you keep Azure costs under control after launch?

Azure costs stay predictable when budgets, tags and reservations are set before go-live, not after the first surprise invoice. Tag every resource group, set budget alerts in Azure Cost Management, and cover steady compute with Reservations or a savings plan. Azure Hybrid Benefit cuts Windows Server and SQL Server costs by reusing licenses you already own. A monthly pass through Azure Advisor then catches idle resources.

How long does it take to migrate an application to Azure?

Rehosting a handful of VMs with Azure Migrate can take weeks, while modernizing a large .NET Framework app usually runs several months. Three things set the pace: data volume, the number of integrations, and how much logic sits in SQL Server stored procedures. Azure Database Migration Service keeps data in sync during a phased cutover. A good Azure development services company will move one pilot app first, so you have a real baseline before you commit the rest.

Can you build HIPAA- and SOC 2-compliant applications on Azure?

Yes, Azure supports HIPAA and SOC 2 workloads, but your app's compliance is still your job under the shared responsibility model. Microsoft includes a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement in its standard terms, and its SOC 2 reports sit in the Service Trust Portal. Your side is setup and proof: Entra ID conditional access, Key Vault for secrets, Defender for Cloud and Azure Policy. Entrans holds ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type II certifications.
